Entry: A Neocon By Any Other Name... Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_neocon_by_any_other_name#16928 Post contents: Tory conservatives ought to know something about history. To call Neoconservatives "Hamiltonians" is correct but doesn't go back far enough. Just call them <b>"Whigs"</b>, the most correct term. Their program has changed since the Exclusion Bill of 1678: 1. A Leviathan central and centralizing state, ruling over a variety of ethnic groups, striving to ever increase its extent and power, and crushing all rebellion: in Scotland in 1746, Ireland repeatedly, Shay's, the Whiskey Rebellion, Dixie 1861-5, the Philippines 1900-1910, etc. Also, centralizing into the Executive at the expense of other branches. 2. Control of the currency by a central bank that issues fiat money: The Bank of England 1691, The Bank of the US 1793, National Banking Act 1861, The Federal Reserve 1911. 3. Corporate Welfare: imperialism, the East India Company, "internal improvements", protectionism, etc. 4. A large military for Great Power wars to assert hegemony (Spanish American War, World War I, Iraq, etc.) 5. Opposition to the Catholic Church Sent at: 2008 11 22
