Whether the category is race relations, capitalism or political competence, the neocons have made their marks on the West and the world.
They have used racial differences to get votes from those Americans who harbor a racist attitude. They have caused grave damage to capitalism in attempting to satisfy personal greed. And by now, their political incompetence is “legendary”.
Why did America’s ombudsmen(voters), after experiencing twenty-some-odd years of neocons, continue to sacrifice America? A large part of that answer comes from America’s racist component. There is significant “butt kissing” racism still living in America – both below and above the Mason-Dixon line.
The neocons took special actions to appeal to America’s racism voting bloc. Cocaine was sold in minority neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California. Minority neighborhoods were singled out for the neocons’ caging treatment.
The neocons took personal greed to new highs. Had labor crashed America’s economy – labor would have been trying to hang on to its jobs. But the neocons, who were managing the Great Recession, were looking for million dollar bonuses. It was said that without the bonuses, the “best” people would go elsewhere. WOW!! That sounds like a good idea – especially since the economy is now “GLOBAL”.
After twenty-some-odd years of conditioning America’s ombudsmen(voters) and “ripping off” America’s treasury, the impact on both started to show. America’s treasury became depleted of “ready cash” and America’s ombudsmen(voters) seem to have become depleted of something in a different category.
It should not have been easy to “dummy up” a country that had survived, in good standing, for some 300 years – but as the saying goes – where there is a will there is a way. And 1980 brought that “way” into American politics.
In 1980, Ronald Reagan – the original neocon, started it off with his “supply side economics” – which became, affectionately(?) known as VOODOO ECONOMICS. And, in the same breath, the idea – “how the West was won” turned into “how the West was lost”.
Evidence of the neocons earthly politics should not be lost to future generations. But that is currently the trend. The stated reason for the Iraq war may differ from the real reason for the Iraq war.
The neocons have truly made their mark on the West and indeed the world.
