A '''neoconservative''' (colloquially, '''''neocon''''') in American politics is someone presented as a "[[conservative]]" but who actually favors [[big government]], [[globalism]], interventionism, [[perpetual war]], and a hostility to [[Religion and U.S. Government|religion in politics and government]].  The word means "newly conservative," and thus formerly [[liberal]].  A neocon is a [[RINO Backer]], and like [[RINO]]s does not accept most of the important principles in the Republican Party platform.  '''''Neocons do not participate in the [[March for Life]], nor stand up for traditional marriage, advocate other [[conservative]] social values, or emphasize putting [[America First|America first]]'''''.  Neocons support attacking and even overthrowing foreign governments, despite how that often results in more persecution of Christians.  '''''Some neocons (like [[Dick Cheney]]) have profited immensely from the military-industrial complex and their pro-war positions'''''. Many neocons are [[globalist]]s and support the [[War on Sovereignty]].

Many neocons focus on the Middle East, often invoking Israel as a justification for endless war when in fact the true central justification is to protect the Saudi regime and the petrodollar. They also favor arming terrorist organizations such as [[al-Qaeda]] and [[ISIS]] in order to achieve their foreign policy goals.

The centerpiece of neocon strategy was to invade [[Iraq]], which left a predictable vacuum that resulted in the murder of many [[Christian]]s there and the rise of [[ISIS]].  During the presidential Republican primaries in 2016, [[Donald Trump]] humiliated the neocons' insistence on the Iraq War, exposed the neocon claim of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a lie, and routed the neocon-supported [[Marco Rubio]] in his home state of Florida by a wide margin. Despite this, the [[mainstream media]] continues to treat neocons as "experts."<ref>Carlson, Tucker (February 15, 2019).
