President Obama signs defense bill despite 'reservations'

50. What about Cons that are non-Neo in nature? By adding the "Neo" modifier, it makes me believe

some on DU are referring to Jews that are "supposed" to be liberals as opposed to those who have been cradle to grave conservatives. It is this implication that "Neo" Cons are therefore race or class traitors (or national traitors because of their support to Israel) that makes the "Neo" pejorative specifically and unnecessarily hurtful and trends to racist teminology. Accepted that some don't actually intend the slur but were mimicking what someolse said, in essence following the electronic mob - but would we accept that of it were derogatory terms about other minorities?

Is not the derivation of anyone's conservative or progressive views are not relevant when compared to the fact of what they believe.

"First, 'neo-conservative' is a codeword for Jewish. As antisemites did with big business moguls in the nineteenth century and Communist leaders in the twentieth, the trick here is to take all those involved in some aspect of public life and single out t" hose who are Jewish. The implication made is that this is a Jewish-led movement conducted not in the interests of all the, in this case, American people, but to the benefit of Jews, and in this case Israel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism

Granted, not everyone agrees - shall we allow slurs on the same basis?
