Can't define? But he just defined it in the interview. Do you have a better definition? He accurately described something akin to neoconservatism. Not paleoconservatism, but he accurately defined neoconservatism. Actually, he defined what neocons want people to think is neoconservatism.

-Fiscal responsibility. Of course, neocons aren't actually fiscally conservative in practice, they have no opposition to Ponzi schemes like Social Security which take from the youngest most indebted generation to give it the oldest generations that lived in the time of greatest economic opportunity. Nor do they oppose economically protectionist tariffs, nor do they oppose wealth redistribution. Because neoconservatism is not about ensuring the success of the American economy, they only care about it as a means to the ends of their foreign policy.
-Militarism. Trump accurately identified the founding principle of neoconservatism, which is a policy of overwhelming strength sprinkled in with a seasoning of Jingoism (interventionism.) Now, this is probably going to send a bit offensive to some people but I urge you to withhold your outrage until you've actually finished reading my post: neocons care about the military as a means to an end, and that end is protecting Israel. Some of the people that might read this will probably think, woah what does this guy have against Jews- nothing, in fact Ashkenazi Jews are the most intelligent ethnic group on Earth so I do not consider their successes a result of some global conspiracy, nor do I think Jews are inherently cursed by some sort of deceitfulness. No, in fact, people who ascribe some global Jewish cabal to the fact that Jews care about Israel are ignoring the basic fact that you do not need an immensely complicated and powerful secret organization to get people to act in their own self-interest, and it if I was Jewish who had family in Israel and a strong attachment to Jerusalem you would not need to force me to care about Israel; I am a libertarian, if I had significant power in the media, no one would have to coerce me into promoting the values I hold. The true core principle of neoconservatism is to protect Israel, which sounds like anti-Jewish propaganda until you realize that the founders of neoconservatives were anti-Stalinist leftists who wanted a strong military, and that "Many early neoconservative thinkers were Zionist and published articles in Commentary, published by the American Jewish Committee." Oh wow, that have been written by a Nazi, well actually that information is based on the book I will link below this paragraph which was written by a Jew who was the Middle-Atlantic Regional Director of the American Jewish Committee and Director of the Myer and Rosaline Feinstein Center for American Jewish History at Temple University.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Neoconservative-Revolution-Intellectuals-Shaping/dp/0521545013

Most neoconservatives were just leftists, often Zionists, that didn't like communists (specifically after the beginning of anti-Jewish policies in places like the Soviet Union) and basically took their leftism + militarism, gave it a coat of paint, voila neoconservatism. Neoconservatives, having formed essentially for the sole purpose of being leftism + militarism, have no fundamental differences to Democrats on economic policy (neocons are supply-siders when Democrats pass spending for their constituents, and Keynesians as soon as military spending is mentioned), they have no principled opposition to the left's abandoning of Federalism and states' rights. Leftists who did not oppose interventionism needed a school of thought to promote their interests, and that party is neoconservatism.

These are the main goals of neoconservatism, and before listing them I am going to encourage you to think each one of these policies in relation to their maximum benefit to Israel vs. America, put simply, is each one of these policies more important to the interests of Israel or to America: promotion of democracy in the Middle East, buildup of American military force and presence globally, and a readiness to use military force.

Since the U.S. is well-insulated by two oceans from post potential threats, the massive costs of our military presence isn't really helping us. In fact, our interventionism has won us a variety of enemies, and our support of Saudi Arabia and occupation of holy lands (Saudi Arabia) is part of the reason the U.S. is more hated by Arab Muslims than Switzerland, Switzerland being a non-interventionist example of a nation with roughly the same freedoms. However, our destabilizing of secular dictatorships in the middle east has eliminated a potential threat to Israeli interests, while we did not achieve democracy we certainly achieved the goal of preventing any potential foe in the region from presenting a serious and organized threat to Israel. So, we've spent billions, created enemies, and on the bright side Israel seems to be a bit safer. This is not a policy that would be supported by people whose primary interest was protecting America, which is the stated justification for these policies.

The core values of paleoconservatism: generally non-interventionist (see: Washington, Jefferson), state's rights (see: Virginia & Kentucky Resolutions), limited government (read a fucking book if this isn't obvious), and a strong skepticism of democracy (again, read a book, this isn't controversial.)

Of course, he didn't describe paleoconservatism, because paleocons are basically libertarians that are unabashed in their pride for the Western World's achievements in, for example, achieving freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, separation of church and state, separation of economy and state (we almost had that for a while), actually ENDING slavery (everyone did it up until that point, the West was the first to stop it, and in fact went on a moral crusade to end it internationally), and anyone who talks about these things in the media will be painted as fundamentally evil.

> Boys Will Be Boys included pictures of boys, many naked, in various non-sexual activities such as climbing a tree or sitting on a bench. The book had an inscription reading, "To Michael: From your fan. Love XXXOOO Rhonda – 1983, Chicago."[57] Wade Robson testified he considered Boys Will Be Boys "not a pornographic book," and said he would not be concerned about its owner being in the same bed as a 12-year-old.[57] Another book, The Boy: A Photographic Essay was inscribed, "Look at the true spirit of happiness and joy in these boys' faces. This is the spirit of boyhood, a life I never had and will always dream of. This is the life I want for my children. MJ." The book contained pictures of boys in various situations by different photographers, including pictures taken during the filming of the 1963 Lord of the Flies movie and showed the boys on the set, usually clothed but sometimes nude, playing in the sand, reading comic books, and having pillow fights.[58][59] The only book depicting male sex acts was a rare out-of-print book called A Sexual Study of Man which featured many images of adult men engaged in all kinds of homosexual intercourse which the prosecution admitted they could not tell if Jackson had opened.[57]

> Wow, Your delusions are powerfull,

The Democrats were the conservative party in 1861. They certainly weren't radical liberals.

In comparison, the Republican party, founded by abolitionists and some socialists, were the progressive, insurgent party of the time. That's why an entire book called Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists: Marxism in the Civil War was written that talked about the leftists in Lincoln's administration.

Why do you think Karl Marx (who was an astute observer of the American civil war) wrote to Lincoln? Why do you think so many leftists, veterans from the 1848 revolutions, especially German officers, were in the Union army?

Why do you think Lincoln himself said that labor becomes before capital, a very socialistic concept?

I can't even imagine what you think about the early history of the Republican party, but it certainly doesn't resemble today's reactionary GOP.

> Here is a concept for you to try and grasp, Conservatives are the Brake, Progressives are the Gas.

The way that radical conservatives have been trying to dismantle long-standing programs and court decisions, in addition to attacking long-standing institutions, shows that your assertion is inaccurate.

> Conservatives want to go slow, Progressives want to go fast,

> Do you accept that framing?

No, because the modern conservatism is dependent on moving fast and acting quickly to dismantle regulations and overturn laws without any thought on slippery slopes and unintended consequences.

Today's conservatives are not very conservative at all, especially under Trump. The idea that they are cautiously rational is out the window.

Why do you think George Will left the Republican party?

I haven't found a cover exactly like that one, but the book is real.

Amazon's blurb:

>“This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else.” So begins Fareed Zakaria’s blockbuster on the United States in the twenty-first century, and the trends he identifies have proceeded faster than anyone anticipated. How might the nation continue to thrive in a truly global era? In this fully updated 2.0 edition, Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination.

The entire goal here is to get dumbshit ignorant incurious Americans to literally judge a book by it's cover. Appears to be working.

He even wrote a book about it!! Welcome to history my sloow leftists-

Trump: The Art of the Comeback https://www.amazon.com/dp/0812929640/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0C30CbQW8NATV

Six years ago real estate developer Trump (Trump: The Art of the Deal, LJ 2/15/88) was several billion dollars in debt, owing in part, he says, to his complacency and the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Now, thanks to some skillful negotiating, hard work, and luck, he says he is back. Trump's goal for this third book is to provide "inspiration" for almost anyone, and some of his top-ten comeback tips are to play golf, stay focused, be paranoid, get even, and always have a prenuptial agreement.

This might be semantics, but it does say 'American' soil - that would include both NA, SA and the bits in the middle. I won't touch on the other points... But I would recommend 1491 by Charles C. Mann for a great book on pre-European contact Americas.

Here you go:

https://www.amazon.com/Hippo-Tutu-Dancing-Disney-Animation/dp/1423100794

From the link (emphasis mine):

>The ballet for hippo ballerinas and their crocodile cavaliers (plus a corps de ballet of ostriches and elephants) set to Ponchielli’s “Dance of the Hours” in Fantasia (1940) is one of the best-loved scenes in all the Disney animated features. Many viewers may not realize, however, that this ballet is no mere generalized parody of ballet mannerisms, but is in fact a deeply informed, affectionate parody of a famous scene choreographed by George Balanchine for the film Goldwyn Follies (1938) and starring his wife, the ballerina movie star Vera Zorina.

Sir Nicholas Winton's alleged activities resonate with Operation Babylift, which took Vietnamese children to the US at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975.

>It was formulated in large part by John DeCamp who as a CIA officer in situ, facilitated the slaughter of tens of thousands of Vietnamese nationals under the auspices of the Phoenix Program.

>DeCamp became connected to the Franklin Credit Union Case in Omaha Nebraska, whereas young ppl from the adjacent Boys Home of "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" fame, became the victims of a snuff porn ring fronted by Hunter S Thompson.

>Since we know the Nazis including Adolf Hitler were all Jews, post the slaughter of Ernst Röhm and the non Jewish Nazis in the Night of the Long Knives Massacres, that began in June 1934 after H was sworn in as German Chancellor Jan. 31, 1933.

>And that those who receive accolades via the Jewish mainstream media are invariably identified as scoundrels, and that the upper echelons of the UK political establishment is infested with murderous pedophiles!

Why not conclude Nicholas Winton's operation was a Satanist front as well!

Nothing that Amy Robach said was an exclusive to ABC or was secret.

Epstein was arrested in 2006. Virginia Roberts Giuffre talked to the press in 2011 and the pictures of her with Prince Andrew were published then.

James Patterson, the famous novelist, published a non-fiction book about Epstein in 2016: Filthy Rich: A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal that Undid Him, and All the Justice that Money Can Buy: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein.

When Epstein was arrested again this year, he was only charged with crimes committed before his 2006 arrest.

Here are just a few of many, many articles you could find on Epstein before 2016:

you're a fucking idiot LOL. Sea_Still is officially illiterate. here's a book on teaching kids how to read for dummies, it's about $16 so I'm sure you can skip out on some meth for a bit so you can afford it!

edit:

here's another one for you, some easy to read books for beginners. after some practice you can probably learn to read the reports rather than listening to morons talking on AM radio.
