[MD] Neoconservatism

[aesuszynski]

OK, so now I'm really confused, It seems that Strauss a Jew, sent his 
protege Kojeve to Europe to subsequently support the fascist regime of Adolf 
Hitler.

I think I heard that the Knights Templar were involved in this, also

How do you spell conspiracy theory?

I think a little Danielle Steele might be in order right about now.
