Answer 1

Is it kinda like a wheatsickle?

Answer 2

Neocon is the name the conservatives gave to the people who have embraced the conservative dogma during the 80s or later. Neo means new, con is short for conservative. Neocon is the philosophy of Rove and the Bushies as opposed to the old school conservatism of William F. Buckley and Barry Goldwater.
If you believe what the conservatives tell you you've been conned. If you believe the neocons you've been neoconned. Neocons try to appeal to Fundamental Chritianists. Old school Conservatives are more concerned with fiscal responsibility.
Neocons like to resort to immature and insulting name calling like calling Democrats democraps. They don't see the irony in saying libshits always result (sic) to name calling.They try to demonize liberals and progressives.They hate when the tables are turned on them.

Answer 3

OK, so I cheated and looked it up.
Neoconservatism is a political current and ideology, mainly in the United States, which emerged in the 1960s, coalesced in the 1970s, and has had a significant presence in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. It is today most closely identified with a set of foreign policy positions and goals: a hawkish stance during the Cold War and, more recently, in various conflicts in the Middle East. At times there have been distinct neoconservative positions in domestic policies; in particular, the first generation of neoconservatives were generally less opposed to "big government" and to social spending than other U.S. conservatives of the time, though they also called for significant restructuring of the goals and methods of many social programs.

The prefix neo- refers to two ways in which neoconservatism was new: many of the movement's founders, originally liberals, Democrats or from socialist backgrounds, were new to conservatism; neoconservatism was also a comparatively recent strain of conservative thought, which derived from a variety of intellectual roots in the decades following World War II. While some (such as Irving Kristol) have described themselves as "neoconservatives", the term is used today more by opponents and critics of this political current than by its adherents, some of whom reject even the claim that neoconservatism is an identifiable current of American political thought.

Within American conservatism, the foreign policy of neoconservatism is particularly contrasted to isolationism, especially as found in paleoconservatism. While the neoconservatives share some of the Christian right critique of a purely secular society, this is not as central to their politics as it is for the Christian right, nor are the neoconservative prescriptions always the same as those of the Christian right.

Neoconservatism is associated with periodicals such as Commentary and The Weekly Standard and some of the foreign policy initiatives of think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Neoconservative journalists, pundits, policy analysts, and politicians, often dubbed "neocons" by supporters and critics alike, have been credited with (or blamed for) their influence on U.S. foreign policy, especially under the administrations of Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) and George W. Bush (2001-present).

Answer 4

i do no longer believe it extremely is defined, as a results of fact to grant it a definition could make it into something, it extremely is the alternative of no longer something. once I examine the word "nothingness" what I see in my techniques is that this: The hum of the universe fading to quietness--no longer as a results of fact it extremely is quiet, yet as a results of fact each and everything interior ones self is attuned with it (style of like a scent will bypass away rapidly considering the fact which you get used to it.) Then, out of the stillness, there is nothingness. *shrug*

Answer 5

Don't worry buddy, because the democrats can't stand together long enough to come up with anything coherent...lol....i mean these are the same people who think killing terrorists is a bad thing, they probably think we should send in a team of counsellors to help them with their anger issues!!! OOPS, sorry dude...I think I just defined bleeding heart liberals...

Answer 6

libshits always result to name calling when they run out of talking points. Fact is they will only succeed with stupidity rules the world.

Answer 7

Can you define what it is that you are? I presume you identify as a neocon. That's what's important... that you know what you are, what you stand for Neocon is a relatively new ideology, it's ill-defined and shifting in its positions especially now that its ideals and its policies are not working in the real world.

Answer 8

they cant, one hap-hazard word and it sounds good enough for them to use over and over, ask them to difine 'is' so they can inform slick willy...lol

Answer 9

knows the meaning! hell most of them don't know how to spell it!!!
