| − | A '''neoconservative''' (colloquially, '''''neocon''''') in American politics is someone presented as a "[[conservative]]" but who actually favors [[big government]], [[globalism]], interventionism, [[perpetual war]], [[police state]], [[gun control]], and a hostility to [[Religion and U.S. Government|religion in politics and government]]. The word means "newly conservative," and thus previously self-interested or [[liberal]]. A neocon is typically pro-[[Deep State]] and 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''''', and his daughter Rep. [[Liz Cheney]] (R-WY) benefits from that neocon fortune while acting against [[America]]-first leaders like [[Donald Trump]]. Many neocons are [[globalist]]s and support the [[War on Sovereignty]]. | + | A '''neoconservative''' (colloquially, '''''neocon''''') in American politics is someone presented as a "[[conservative]]" but who actually favors [[big government]], [[globalism]], interventionism, [[perpetual war]], [[police state]], [[gun control]], and a hostility to [[Religion and U.S. Government|religion in politics and government]].

| | 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. | | 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.
