RSSHow to debate a Neocon?
Jul 16
An interesting debate with a Neo-conservative. It’s well thought-out and a good read.
A New Fascism? A Dead Imperialism? An Exchange between Stan Goff and Don Hammerquist
Personally, my biggest problems with Neo-cons are their:
- Feeling of superiority over other peoples on this planet (yes, most of them try to mask it for political-correctness, but this is obvious from their other points and actions).
- Willingness to kill other people to secure their own wealth and lifestyle.
- Desire to mold the rest of the world in their own image. Not everyone else in the world wants their 50% divorce rates, ultra-high violent crime rates and Paris Hilton.
- Need to control the rest of the world through threat of force and economics.

Hammerquist’s final response seemed well thought out but damn it was nerve-shatteringly tedious.
Let me get this straight. Is he basically saying that it’s worth the risks we have to take (endless war and economic turmoil at home) in order to prevent the possibility of a fascist threat by potential anti-globalist Islamists?
Too many “what-if’s” for me. I don’t doubt that PNAC has thought out world economic scenarios to death, but I have more trouble buying into his general argument than I do Goff’s.
I wonder if there will be another response from Goff.
Great stuff, thanks for pointing this one out.
