Answer 1

"neocon: anyone who makes a liberal uncomfortable, and scared."

Answer 2

Define Neocon

Answer 3

A neocon is someone who may have been more liberal in the past, but now sees conservatism as a way to provide better security at home and abroad and make the world a better place. Comedian Dennis Miller is a neocon. Though now he's not as funny as he used to be...

Answer 4

Neocon is a phrase politicians gave Democrats that turned conservative on social and economic issues. Sort of like the term Communist was thrown around during the McCarthy Era.
Most of the time it's totally used out of context. i.e. Rolling Stones. Ne Con is a bash on Liberals not conservatives. Uber conservative would be what Liberals mean to say. They think that adding "neo" makes reference to Nazism.

Answer 5

I hope you're not addressing me.
"Neocon" is media-speak for "Neo-conservative," and is the title given to those who think Anne Coulter is a genius, Rush Limbaugh speaks the Word of God, and G. Gordon Liddy is the Lord's Prophet.
Neocons have pretty much run their race, and their political stock is selling pretty cheap, now that Anne's a plagiarist, Rush is an addict, and G. Gordon's ... well, he's always been a nut-job.
We'll see what happens in November.

Answer 6

"Neoconservatism (or neocon) refers to the political movement, ideology, and public policy goals of "new conservatives" in the United States, that are relatively unopposed to "big government" principles and believe in limited restrictions on social spending.

In the context of United States foreign policy, neoconservative has another, narrower definition. Critics [citation needed] define it as interventionist with hawkish views on foreign policy. Supporters define it as advocating the use of military force, unilaterally if necessary, to replace autocratic regimes with democratic ones. This view competes with liberal internationalism, realism, and non-interventionism.

The prefix "neo" can denote that many of the movement's founders, originally liberals, Democrats or from socialist backgrounds, were new to conservatism, but can also refer to the comparatively recent emergence of this "new wave" of conservative thought, which coalesced in the early 1970s from a variety of intellectual roots in the decades following World War II. It also serves to distinguish the ideology from the viewpoints of "old" or traditional American conservatism."
