what does neocon mean please? (be polite also i am trying to learn the proper terms and there meanings?

Answer 1

First of all, they're not conservatives at all. They're radical nationalists. They're radical nationalist extremists, who serve private power with fanatic dedication. They despise democracy, they want to eliminate it. They tend to believe that the United States should use its military force to dominate the world instead of other kinds of interaction. They're very remote from public opinion - public opinion is opposed to them.

And they manage to maintain some degree of control over power by shifting public attention from what are called issues to qualities. So you try to frighten the public, you try to make them think you're pursuing their moral values, somebody's going to defend them … that sort of thing. I mean, they're very much like Hitler. If you have to control the public somehow, you're carrying out actions that are harmful to them, you have to use those methods - so they do. And they're aggressive and violent, and kind of an extremist nationalist group.

Domestically, they have a very clear goal; they want to eliminate the entire progressive legislation of the past century, to eliminate pensions, healthcare, whatever rights people want, labor rights - they want to eliminate labor rights. And it's very clear, they're not concealing it; the agenda is very straightforward. Internationally, they're doing what they say; they want to dominate the world by military force, they're carrying out a major expansion of offensive military forces, understanding perfectly well that that increases the threat of terror, and increases the treat of even accidental nuclear war because it's forcing others to respond in the same way.

What Does Neocon Stand For

Answer 3

Opinions vary, but generally the term refers to a "new breed" of conservatives who favor an aggressive foreign policy and place less emphasis on limited government than traditional conservatives do.

Some would allege that neocons place the highest priority on security, instead of liberty or morality like other types of conservatives.

Answer 4

Neo-Con is the self selected name meaning New Conservative; members are characterized by extreme right beliefs. They are also known for their global ambitions, which include the destabilization of the Middle East and a New World Order. They favor the use of military tactics over diplomacy. They tend to have an "In your face" attitude. They use scare tactics to try to get us to give up our civil liberties. Finally, over 30 percent of our population and 50 percent of New Yorkers, believe that they were involved in the 911 tragedy: Used as a pretext for war.

This group (Our present administration) has proved to be so extreme, that more and more traditional conservatives are distancing themselves from them.

Some people find this term offensive because it has been closely associated with the term "Neo-Nazi". In fact, some members of the NeoCons, including Pres. Bush, are known to have roots that were closely tied to the Neo-Nazis: Check Prescott Bush.

Politically, this is an touchy topic, because it needlessly, threatens some conservative seats, in this Novembers election. So expect to run into some backlash if you use the term.

Answer 6

Neoconservative means an even bigger-government conservative than traditional conservatism. Indistinguishable from a modern liberal in terms of spending.

The antonym to all the above is classical liberal, aka libertarian.

Answer 7

Neo - new
Con - conservative

It is referring to the new conservative movement that is taking hold. And from what I am seeing right now, just like rock music, I am longing for the good old stuff.

Answer 8

It is the term that the Democrats use when talking about the crazy right winged radicals. Used the same way the Republicans misuse the term Liberal.

Answer 9

Neocon means Republican and Liberal means Democrat Becky. Don't let these juveniles confuse you either.

Answer 10

all of the above are correct except the obvious "poisoned" individuals.. (you will know them by their venom) I think that enlightenment really put it down the best though.. if you can get through the whole thing.. he is really saying it.
