As far as I know, second place finishers in presidential primaries usually, traditionally endorse the party's nominee.

He may be late, but he arrived finally. Ted Cruz had to do this for party unity and for the sake of his career.

I wouldn't read too much into it.
Congratulations!  You are the very first person I've added to my "ignore" list.  DC Patriot was 2nd.

Neocon is a pejorative term towards Conservative Jews. The Stormfront wing of the Trumpettes love to use it liberally to show their contempt for people of a certain religious background and I hate that with a passion.

And you know darn well that is the precise reason that particular poster spammed it here.

The contempt for Conservative Jews is palpable with some of these Trump zealots.

The racism is very thinly veiled in some of these Trump lovers.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

I very much appreciate that, Frank.  I'm very glad you called it what it is here.

I'm sick of what these people are doing to the Conservative movement.  They are trying to destroy it with their bigotry.

Ah...got it!  I've always though of "neocon" as being a bit of a slippery, poorly defined word, but I also knew eventually a unified definition of what it means would prevail.  Apparently it has been weaponized?

This might surprise some, but I have come to appreciate conservative Jews in politics more than many conservative Christians.  That is not a religious statement (Jesus is Lord and I will never waiver from that).  BUT, Jews do not get all muddled up in this mushy emotional "we are saving the gospel" abuse that renders them unable to speak the truth about anything else.  Don't get me wrong.  The gospel is the priceless pearl, the most precious gift, the treasure worth more than anything else in the world.  But truth is never the enemy of the gospel.  Those who make themselves enemies of God-given unalienable truths are making themselves enemies.   I'm not doing it to them.

I think many Christians........... especially those who are young in their faith......... are extremely gullible.

They heard the words someone said that Trump had become a Christian and their hearts went pitter pat.  They didn't, and haven't yet, held up the claim against the reality of who Trump is, and the fact that he has not repented or changed.

Perhaps the Jewish people are just more grounded in who they are and that their decision to be conservative has come at a higher price relative to the liberal nature of most of their peers.

Just surmising, but perhaps a valid point?  Who knows?

Neocon is a term that the worst of the worst leftist trolls I've seen on the net have used to slander anyone on the right with.  That someone is HERE, using it against one or any of us, is telling.  For who and what that person really is, that is.

Yes.  Weaponized by bigots pretending to be Conservative.  Observe its use here on this forum, or any others where Trump nationalists post.  You'll see it quite clearly.  A "neocon" is a dirty Jew, and often reflects a white sheet mentality.

"Neocon" can certainly be a shorthand slur for Jew... on the other hand, it does represent a brand of conservatism that turned a lot of people off: expansionism, endless war, accepting a lot of liberal programs etc. Bush was big with the neocons: project for the new american century, Paul Wolfowitz, and all that.

I didn't like that brand of conservatism in the 2000's and I don't like it now.

Not strictly leftists.  Paleocons don't like them much either.

Hmmn, I thought "NeoCon" was a group of big government, world cop type like the Bushes. First I've ever heard of  it being used to denote a Jew.

On the other hand it could be a Convention of Neo's. Lots of people running around saying.."I am the one".

As for the slow server, add me too the list of those experiancing such. I just thought it was because I did not brush my teeth this 'Mornin'.  :shrug:

Then, there's something sinister going on here.

When certain Trump supporters view the forum as "guests", the site is lightening fast....the way it's supposed to be.

However, when said Trump supporters....myself included...log on, it takes literally more than a minute for any page to load.

IOW, it can't be the IP address...because in guest mode it works the way it's supposed to.

So tell us....has a certain backroom adversary whose name begins with "O" been manipulating said accounts?   Has he enabled something that repeatedly churns...if that's the correct term....making using the forum a very unpleasant experience?

Because I know damned full well not everybody can be experiencing this...otherwise you'd have a riot on your hands.

Pray tell?   :shrug:

I'm having the same problem and I hate Trump. Remove and then step away from the tinfoil hat :laugh:

That's how I always thought about them too. I do know some people don't like their support for Israel, which is one thing I don't disagree with them about. This is where the "neocon" = antisemite thing comes from maybe?

Not a fan of their other policies though.

Well, I doubt that it involves groups of Matrix fans, so I'm going with the first line...

That's what I always thought 'neocon" meant too...big government types.  There's always been a "Jewish connotation" because just about every conspiracy about neocons is pointed at Jews as the driving intelligence.  Iraq, Al-Qaeda, Saudi Arabia etc.  This is the first I've heard it used in this manner.  That's why I wonder if it's been "weaponized," and apparently it has been.

It depends on who is using the term.

When it's being used by a Trump nationalist, it's pretty clear.....

Exactly.  It's historical usage has not always been about that.  In this context, it is absolutely about that.

Right.  It's morphed over time.

I got called a "Neo-con" on FR frequently by bozos who didn't understood that being a Conservative since the 1960's was in no way "neo!"  :laugh:

I supported the Iraq War (still think it was justified), and that's all it took for non-thinkers to attack me with the word.

But at least back then, they at least used the term accurately.  Now the only time I see it used is by anti-Semitic nationalists who think that supporting a dictator-wannabe is somehow conservative, and post where they don't really ideologically belong.

(Like HERE).

No, I think that was its original meaning.  Many of us (me included) just didn't recognize it for what it was.
