Who are the neo- cons? What do they really stand for?

Question

Do they really represent us?

Answer 1

No more than liberals do. In fact many are born agains, that is they were liberals and have evolved.

Answer 2

The neo-cons are like Superman. They stand for truth, justice, and the American way.

Actually, I read an article that should surprise most Americans. While Americans actually saw the U.S. like the fictional hero Superman, and believed in our noble goals of protecting the defenseless, most foreigners saw the U.S. more like Batman: dark, brooding, sinister, not clearly on the side of the law...more like vigilante justice.

I still believe in what Ronald Reagan said. That America has a special purpose among the nations of the Earth to bring peace, freedom and democracy to everyone.

Sounds simplistic? Well, that's what the Germans said when Reagan demanded "Mr. Gorbachev. Tear down this wall!" Next thing you knew, the wall was tumbling down, and the Cold War was won.

Some things are simpler than we realize. We just make them hard.

Answer 3

Neo as in Nazi and con as in conservative. So the Neo-Nazi have taken over the far right wing of the Repuglican party. So they are concidered by many to be Neo-Conservatives, or Neo-Cons for short.

Answer 4

the neo-cons stand for the wild west cowboy style foreign policy of George Bush where we tell the rest of the world to screw off.

Answer 5

Neo Cons are unrealistic bible thumping intolerant corrupt close-minded people who unfortunately are in politics/government.

They do not represent me at all!!

Answer 6
