Disgraced Neocons Flocking To Giuliani's Camp

Newsweek:

Neocons can't help but slink around Washington, D.C. The Iraq War has given the neoconservatives--who favor the assertive use of American power abroad to spread American values--something of a bad name, and several of the Republican candidates seem less than eager to hire them as advisers. But Rudy Giuliani apparently never got that memo. One of the top foreign-policy consultants to the leading GOP candidate is Norman Podhoretz, a founding father of the neocon movement.

Podhoretz is in favor of bombing Iran because of the country's unwillingness to suspend its uranium-enrichment program. He also believes America is engaged in a "world war" with "Islamofascism" and that Giuliani is the only man who can win it. "I decided to join Giuliani's team because his view of the war--what I call World War IV--is very close to my own," Podhoretz tells NEWSWEEK. (World War III, in his view, was the cold war.) "And also because he has the qualities of a wartime leader, including a fighting spirit and a determination to win."

The democrats will field a woman for president and the republicans will field a man for president and it is a no brainer which will win in America.

America is far from ready for a black, indian, oriental, arabic or woman for president.

If it is just a bit off color are you sure it's American?

It is just not socioligical exceptable in the present day America.

Even though Clinton is just a stones throw from the republicans though she is in this present day and age, the wrong sex.

Giuliani is their man of choice because he is susceptible to their blackmail pressure and he's chickenshit. Thompson is their backup. They chose Bush because he's too stupid to figure out what they're doing. Giuliani is their man of choice because he is susceptible to their blackmail pressure and he's chickenshit. Thompson is their backup because he has W's and Rudy's most desirable qualities in one package. If Thompson somehow gets the nomination - his VP will be a neocon chieftain.

Somebody please clarify. Are there any un-disgraced neocons?

The Huffington Post is often a sectarian collective that uses propaganda techniques as a vehicle for 1) political change for socialist causes and 2) to produce revenue for the owner. It, like the Democratic and Republican parties, has not become a catalyst for chance because it cannot obtain a valid consensus of objectives.

Let us look at two phenomena “the sect" and "the catalyst,” as these concepts relate to problems of the contemporary movements and other control projects.

Many as terms of abuse often use the terms “sect” and “sectarian” in a loose fashion and usually just indicating one group disagrees with another. In using the term "sect" in a precise manner, it is of great use in throwing light on what is going wrong with various groups concerning the pursuit of a project. The basic characteristic of the sect seems to be its "existential character.” Groups growing and existing for their own sake. Different sects may have different objectives, methodologies, and goals. Cultural, racial, economic, sexual, and religious influences come into play. These influences can create agreement or friction and large areas for cooperation or divisive hostility and derision.

In contrast, a catalyst exists to facilitate changes in the environment and society that surrounds it. The often-intense activity of sects is unrelated to facilitating key components of the pursuit of the control project assisting self-organization on the job via networking, raising morale, providing forums for discussion/ debate and information sharing. In order to build and maintain a catalyst, a consensus of objectives and methodologies should be reached in a fair and honest manner. Reaching that conscience is the challenging part often associated with mediation.

Anytime you see the neocon think tank gerbils flocking around a candidate, you know they are definitely not the one.

To the choir...We all agree (that, for one reason or the other) the Bush administration invaded and occupied a sovereign nation. Although the Dems could end the American invasion of Iraq within months, they will NEVER allow the Bush family and the Republicans to exonerate the Shrub legacy. The Dems are more than willing to sacrifice the lives of our finest youth in order to further the liberal cause. Any act that would not allow historians to place the blame on a Neo-Con failure won't be contemplated by the Democratic party. Dead American warriors and Iraqis be damned! The death and futility of the Iraq debacle will end when the failure of the Bush administration is historically assured.

Damn Hilliary, too

American Monarchy or American Democracy?

The United States might not have a Monarchy, but for 40 % of all Americans it might feel like it. Bush, Clinton, Bush...Clinton??? It sure is starting to sound like one. A recent article from the Associated Press reveals some rather startling statistics on the state of our American democratic system. Here are a few excerpts

The warmongering neocons are attracted to Giuliani the way flies are attracted to shit. Podhoretz is the biggest warmongering degenerate of 'em all.

All the 911 co-conspirators gather 'round their demon leader, hoping against hope to grasp the crown and forever seal the doom of American Liberty. Like cockroaches swarming a maggot, they have no where else to turn for sustenance. Rudy as President was always part of the neocon con anyway. Bush and the NSA were trying to tap phones before 911. What more proof do you need? Rudy was the broker for all the WTC steel, sold it to China and Japan to be recycled. Problem is, it's a felony to remove and destroy evidence from a crime scene before it can be studied forensically. Yes, Rudi, the son of a Mafia Enforcer (no shit!) is the last great hope of the globalist scum that wired the WTC with explosives, and sent drone jets crashing into our constitution as well as the WTC.
