Really? Define neocon. I always thought neocon was a liberal who

those they consider traitors to the Leftist cause.

I finally got a definition of "neocon" from someone in a position to
know it's origin, and what was meant by it.

It originally referred to Jews who are not "socialists" or "liberals".

English is a living language and modifies over time. In my childhood,
"faggot" meant a bundle of sticks.

I don't think you qualify.

With it's current use, I think that he does.

So then you must qualify for "sleazy, cumstained mustache licking,
commode drinking, low life gutter trash"

It meant something slightly different yesterday. Shrug.
