McCains Neoconservative Agenda

For any of you who don't know, the neoconservative group is a political philosophy which main tenets include the belief that America needs to enforce a strong military force over whatever enemy it deems worthy. From communism to terrorism, they look for grandiose battles that don't necessarily have any end in sight. You may know such famous neo-cons as Paul Wolfowitz, former deputy secretary of defense,Donald Rumsfeld secretary of defense under Gerald Ford and George W Bush, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush, Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney, and Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs. And the list goes on and on.

Neoconservatives have run this country for the past 8 years. Whether they had some notorious plot schemed up before 9/11 to fight a war against the Muslim world, or if it was just a dire circumstance that they took full advantage of in it's aftermath, this group of war mongers has no ones best interest in mind but their own.

If you want to get a little insight in to the mind of a neo-con, this might help.

Neoconservative writer William Kristol claimed: "The world is a mess. And, I think, it's very much to Bush's credit that he's gotten serious about dealing with it... The danger is not that we're going to do too much. The danger is that we're going to do too little."

So my point here is that electing John McCain does nothing but keep us in the same path we've been heading down. He holds many neo-con beliefs and four of his top advisers are neo-cons. Sounds eerily similar to George W. McCain would love to continue the policies of the current administration, possibly taking some of them even further. He has been quoted in support for a independent league of nations who take actions that the UN won't sanction. My question is, where is this league going to come from? We couldn't get support for war in Iraq from anyone besides England and Australia who sent a fraction of the troops America sent. And both of those nations are withdrawing troops rapidly in hopes of being out ASAP.

"McCain’s League would create for the U.S. President a standing organization for engaging in aggressive war against “rogue regimes” whether they are an immediate, potential -- or imaginary -- threat."~Robert Parry

Now while McCain is the immediate threat, the longer lasting one is that even if he doesn't win this coming election a neo-con could come to power at any time. There long lasting belief is that the President of the United states should not have to follow the law if it involves any threat to national security. They could strip a US citizen of their citizenship and send them to Guantanamo Bay without a trial or any fair representation at all, if they got their way. All it takes is the seating of two more conservatives justices to the Supreme Court and a future President could install near unlimited powers to his office. With that sort of unbalanced control it would no longer be a Democracy but a Dictatorship. That is not what the United States stands for. And that is why neoconservatives need to be outed from any elected position and denounced as the traitors to our founding fathers beliefs that they are!
