OK, so what the hell is a "neocon" anyway, and do "paleocons" use it too, and where's the limit between them?

Answer 1

Neo-Conservative.

In the 1970s and 1980s, many ex-Democracts went conservative and switched over to the Republican party. These new conservatives, or neo-cons, brought with them the idea of a large federal government, heavy on govt regulation. They saw this as a means to advance their conservative social agenda on a national scale via federal law.

The paleocons (I like that, they won't) are the original core of the conservative movement, normally called fiscal conservatives (fisc-cons?). They believe in small federal government, and sensible financial and fiscal policies. Such as not adding half-a-trillion dollars of deficit debt per year.

Many of the fisc-cons have left the Republican party, which has been controlled by the neo-cons for the past decade or so.

soreness is a actual feeling, like once you injury a bone, or get a toothache, or once you go into exertions to have a new child, even your abdomen, once you get starvation pains. it rather is all related on your nerves, which act as sensors and deliver messages on your ideas, and you have the actual reaction. suffering is comparable, yet no longer the comparable element. Say you have a toothache, it incredibly is the soreness area of it, however the suffering might come once you are able to no longer visit the dentist to have it fastened, and you're able to go through with the soreness, and particular the an infection. There are different tiers of suffering as properly, like once you lose somebody you enjoyed very lots, the soreness of that loss motives your coronary heart to undergo this, and it could take an prolonged time to heal, or in no way heal in any respect. suffering happens over an prolonged quantity of time, or what can look an eternity. desire this facilitates, good success.

Answer 3

Neocons are not the ex-democrats. If this is the correct Frontline series, it discusses their full history and how they evolved; but, I haven't watched them in awhile so not sure which part.

They are very informative and worth watching anyways.

I mean if you really want to know what its all about...

I call them nazi conservatives... fascist but they actually have a lengthy hirstory in the republican party. Btw, neocon is their technical name believe it or not... they are the ones basically trying to reverse FDR's New Deal.(That's discussed in the Frontline series)

Oh yea to answer the rest of your question, the palecons are more or less considered the moderate republicans of today. They are the ones basically losing out to the neocons in trying to stay with more traditional core republican views.

The republican party has been in a transition since the late 90s... moving more and more to the right.. the neocons. We used to call the right, the conservatives. Now, conservatives are the republican norm.

Answer 4

Read above statements plus: a Neo-Con today is those who follow bush to the letter without disagreement. It is a feeling of we should do anything and everything possible to kill our enemies. No peace talks. Forget that. Let's bomb the hell out of them. It is a feeling of forcing people to do what we want regardless of how they feel. It is a feeling of forcing Christianity down people's throats. After all, their religion is above everyone else's. Right now, the CONSTITUTION IS TOILET PAPER TO THEM. If you don't agree with them, you are considered un-Patriotic and a fascist - never mind the fact bush is trying to act like one. Let's put it like this: Pat Buchanan DOES NOT AGREE WITH NEO-CONS. That says a lot.
