It's all part of the great neocon conspiracy, don't you know?
As others have pointed out, the con is short for conservative and the neo means Jewish. It's a great conspiracy theory about Jews somehow ruling the world shared by the more rabid of the Angry Left and the Neonazis. I guess that proves that Einstein was right about space being curved. You go too far to the left or the right and you end up meeting somewhere on the dark side of lunacy.
