How Neocon Billionaire Paul Singer Is Driving the Outsourcing of US Tech Jobs to Israel

Fox News Pundits Who Cheered On Iraq War Suggest Arming Iranian Protesters

These insatiable neocons are talking about this with the same salivating exuberance with which they spoke of arming “moderate rebels” in Libya and Syria.

Sharing the world with neocons is like living with an Alzheimer’s patient. “I want to go home!” “You are home, Mum. Remember? You live here now with me and Dave? And your grandkids?
