NEOCON 101
NEO-CON 101 – The Spread of GOOD throughout the World

Course Description:

The student will be introduced to the full exploitation of the “good vs. evil” political doctrine originally proposed by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s and since perfected by the Radical Right Wing Component of the Republican Party and ideologically fortified by the modern Neoconservative Right Wing Religious movement. Methodologies for the exact determination of which country is good or evil will be developed based on a variety of interrelated criteria, including key historical events, the history and success of business partnering with the United States, and fundamental Christian ideals. The student will be introduced to the Good vs. Evil “Scenario Based” formula and other software war-gaming solutions which will assist key political decision making in complex scenarios involving multiple countries and rapidly changing good vs evil determinations. Specific criteria will be developed to help determine if it would be strategically advantageous or politically profitable to designate a country as good or evil in any given political scenario, and the ramifications of a war decision. Laboratory exercises simulating various Middle East scenarios will be conducted to demonstrate the utility of good vs. evil designation as it applies to promoting wars between countries, and how such strategies might benefit the United States. Final group projects which provide a detailed step by step strategic plan for the takeover or occupation of at least 6 countries and which supports the United States securing the majority of the world’s oil reserves by the year 2050 must be submitted one week prior to the end of the class.

Goal: After completion of the course, the student will develop a keen sense of how to craft and when to politically promote a “good vs. evil” argument in a complex political environment for the purpose of promoting a political agenda which has a high probability of overall success in terms of acquiring new territories and oil reserves.

Required Courses:

- Christian Reconstructionism and the Modern NEOCON Religious Movement (C201)
- Debate using Selected Principles Rather than Facts (D325)
- Modern Neoconservativism as it has Merged with the Religious Right (M666)

This course can serve as a substitute for World History, Business Ethics, and Logic 101.

2. Don't forget to include lectures on the philosophy of Leo Strauss
which should include a special handout on "How to Tell the Noble Lie" and "Remember: The End Justifies The Means".

Good post!
