That’s because they’re neoconservatives and not true conservatives

 observes the following:

Some “conservative” bloggers have been sanctimoniously asserting that Putin should “renounce his association with the KGB,” the “former” Russian domestic spying agency, if he wants “the world” to take him seriously.  At the same time, these “conservatives” publicly support NSA spying on every single American, the PATRIOT Act, warrantless wiretapping and eavesdropping, etc.,  and they are not demanding that any American politicians “renounce” their association with the CIA, the KGB’s counterpart.  These are the some of the same individuals who supported President George H.W. Bush, a former head of the CIA.   Further proof that politics makes people either stupid, evil, or both.

This is because the neoconservatives are not true conservatives; but rather big government statists, who are perfectly fine with big Government — as long as they control it. However, the minute that they lose control of that Government, they decry it from the high heavens. It is textbook hypocrisy of the highest order.

These are the one’s who say that we must cut spending and remove entitlement programs; but, yet, they want to increase Military spending and defend Israel at all costs. It is a bi-polar way of conducting politics. Now, I am not saying that we should not be ready to defend our Country; but it is an entirely different thing to be playing the World’s police officer and defending a Country that looks at the United States as useful idiots.

This is the exact reason I distinguish myself from them and identify myself as a Paleoconservative or a Pat Buchanan-type conservative. Yes, there is a very big difference and yes, it is a great one. Anyone that says that this is not true; is either unlearned about politics and willfully misleading people.
