The basic flaw in the neoconservative ideology is that democracy can be imposed on other people at the point of a gun. Furthermore, if neoconservatives came from an American tradition rather than a Trotskyite tradition, they would understand that America itself is not a democracy. Benjamin Franklin emerged from the Constitutional Convention and a lady asked him, “Well, Mr. Franklin, what kind of government have you given us?” He did not say democracy. He replied, “Madam, we have given you a republic – if you can keep it.” FULL ARTICLE

I was reading along just fine until it seemed to become a personal attack on GW Bush. Not that I am a great fan, certainly not happy with many of the decisions, Patriot Act? but when it comes to informing a reader about the dangers of the erosion of freedoms or not understanding the Constitution, to wallow in a criticsim of the attempt to impose a Democracy in Iraq seems misplaced. Democracies don’t have quite the same history of genocide/democide.
I think there’s plenty to attack George Bush personally on, and each could take tomes and tomes to complete. I’ll give my big ones…
War in Iraq
Biggest Government Budget in history
Massive Inflation of the money supply
Patriot Act
Violation of the war powers of the constitution (with congress as his criminal accomplices)
But, to say all that – it would be silly for me to not complain equally about virtually every other president in history. Like power? Like the president. Like freedom? Love the chains of the Constitution!
How sad is the case of Fukuyama. But then again, I too was attracted to the neocons because of their determined TIRELESS struggle against Communism. It is only later that I learned that NEOCONSERVATISM is a Leninist illusion for sale. The first generation was Leninist, educated to the technique of POLARIZE TO MOBILIZE. This technique it used as Commies and as this small group went to work for the CIA as a poison pill on the Left. But it never did much more than build a mirror of illusions in which to trap us “dumb goyim,” as they would call us, who didn’t realize that they are not an idea but a business. The neocon shift to the Right was– as in the 60s– a totally paper movement with phony offices and proloferation of paper organization– as taught by Leninism– to seem ever proliferating. In fact, they were a few and got into a lot of trouble when it was exposed that they are a CIA funds creature. Through all that time, not a word of Zionism…it was all anti-Communism, hence pro-Vietnam War. It is only after 1967 that they sought to turn the anti-Communists into pro-Zionists with all sorts of literature indicating that the Arabs had all along supported the NEw Left against Vietnam to use it now anti-Israel. At the Vietnam National Day in 1967, one of them told me that Vietnam was lost and time had come to fix on blocking the Soviets in the Middle East. Watching them closely, I saw over time how the second generation became influence peddlers for the strategic weapons industry. For this they were handsomely payed. But still, Israel was not their hottest issue. It was all TEAM B’s assertion that we were falling behind the Soviets in strategic weapons. With the end of the Cold War, their cash cow became Right Wing Zionists who layed out millions for Likudnik Israeli expansion at a time when Israel had entered the post-Zionist phase. The Bush years were their high point, but he too saw through them because he was dependent on the Saudis for his post-Presidency subsistance. When they thought Hillary would be the Democratic candidate, early in the campaign, they tried to warm up to her. They slandered Obama as a Muslim, anti-American and anti-Semite….What else could they do? All they knew is what they had learned as Leninisits: POLARIZE TO MOBILIZE!
They are not back, they blew uot the air that gave the impression of giants to now crawl on the floor with the other roaches, looking for morcels. All they do is pretend that they speak for the Right and when challenged, that they speak for the Jewish Right. But they have always been nothing but Leninist “activists” for hire ever since Stalin kicked them out of the Communist movement because they were “Jews.” Their time is over and only a few keep seeking the lime light while the rest go and enjoy their ill gotten warmongering gains in what they so often called “anti-Semite Eurabia”– apartments, villas and vacations spots.
The sadest case of all is Fukuyama who had served as one of their boys– as I had– only to discover that there’s something weird about how their vitrioloc campaign for democracy extends only to the Middle East and in Maoisr fashion: politics from the barrel of a gun! When he raised the question, they did what they always do: CALLED HIM AN ANTI-SEMITE!
What killed the necons is a desperate drive to be recognized as “mensch.” Their greatest doubt was and is about their manhoob. Hence, these pear shapped war mongers remind of Nazi propagandists calling for OTHERS to die on the Eastern Front. I can’t say that I regret the loss of such bright minds, because talking to them for years one discovers that clever deception, not intellectual brilliance, is their MO. Like a bad smell, they are gone and one can only wonder why money can get so few to destroy the lives of so many.
