What Does a Neoconservative Dream World Look Like?

Shaun Hannity’s neocons and faux patriotism

Neocons envision a world in which the United States is the unchallenged superpower, immune to threats. They believe that the US has a responsibility to act as a “benevolent global hegemon.” In this capacity, the US would maintain an empire of sorts by helping to create democratic, economically liberal governments in place of “failed states” or oppressive regimes they deem threatening to the US or its interests. In the neocon dream world the entire Middle East would be democratized in the belief that this would eliminate a prime breeding ground for terrorists. This approach, they claim, is not only best for the US; it is best for the world. In their view, the world can only achieve peace through strong US leadership backed with credible force, not weak treaties to be disrespected by tyrants.

Any regime that is outwardly hostile to the US and could pose a threat would be confronted aggressively, not “appeased” or merely contained. The US military would be reconfigured around the world to allow for greater flexibility and quicker deployment to hot spots in the Middle East, as well as Central and Southeast Asia. The US would spend more on defense, particularly for high-tech, precision weaponry that could be used in preemptive strikes. It would work through multilateral institutions such as the United Nations when possible, but must never be constrained from acting in its best interests whenever necessary. — Christian Science Monitor 

Another fine example of Paul’s supporters just flat out lying. Great job, you do him a great service. BTW, I’m not and never will vote for Paul because surrender monkey’s will never get my vote. I also require that any cANDIDATE I DO VOTE FOR HAVE SOME BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF HOW THE CONSTITUION WORKS, NOT JUST WHAT THE WORDS ARE. Paul fails on both counts.

==
Agreed, which is why we cannot let Paul win either. 4 years of Hillary would be a disaster. 4 years of Paul would be suicidal for this nation.
==
Yes, I would like to see how high DR! Pauls percentages jump up when Liberals, Democrats, and Communist Party members are allowed to vote for him!

==

Not that I think they necessarily would, but it would be interesting to see the Paulettes shock when they realise all of the above who have been claiming they would vote for Paul if he were a candidate, dont! Considering its the above mentioned leftists claims that they would vote for DR! Paul, that lead Paulettes to believe DR! Paul could win by garnering Bi-Partisain support!
==
I think he should run….naked!

oh yes they call him the streak….(look at that, look at that!)

That would fit right in with his kooky personality.
==
wouldnt vote for McCain either
not sure about Romney, but i would vote for rudy, depending on who the dems nominate
==
Merely because the ******* is outnumbered by people more sane than him. I’m a Republican and I’d vote for Hillary before I’d vote for Ron Paul.
