Just do a search for Fascism, throw a cloak of "We want to spread Freedom" on top of it and there you have it.

the neaconservatives sprang from the very heart of Democratic America.The key founders were,Irving Kristol,Daniel Bell,Seymour Lipset and Nathan Glazer.Most of them were Marxist in thier youth and as they grew older they inbraced old fashion liberlism, the liberalism of meritocratic values,reverence for high culture and a vigorous mixed economy.It was the betrayal of this liberlism that turned them into neocons.They hated what was happening in universaties, the institutions that had lifted them out of the ghetto.How could the high priests in the temples of reason stand idly by while students trashed universaty property?How could people who were supposed to care for intullectual standards agree to quotas,Criticizing the war in vietnam was very well but how could these over privaleged brats burn the american flag?How could they argue america was always wrong and it's critics always right?Knee jerk anti Americanism was particularly offensive to these people whose families escaped the Holocaust only because the immagrated to America.They spoke the language of social science and were a major boost to the right.They showed that welfare payments can reinforce dependency. Preferential treatment can harm it's beneficiaries by shielding them from compatition. Neo Cons were muckrakers of the right.they abohored moral relativism,they used words like good and evil,virtue and vice, they believed the problem with america was not so much the lack of individual liberty but the destruction of individual virtue.They started the first Think Tanks.Many were and are agnostics who believed religon helped to promote social cohesion and social virtue," religon might not be true but it serves a purpose in keeping society in order" Irving Kristol once said "a liberal is someone who thinks it's okay for an 18 year old girl to perform in a pornograghic movie as long as she'd being paid minimum wage"

Below is a link to a very good definition. It's basically a desire to retain traditional American values, ones that served us well up until 1960 or so.

Neoconservatism is the concept that we can bring peace to the world by invading all non-democratic countries and using military force to turn them into democracies.

Simply as that, good luck with your debate

My belief ... it is the ideology of the world's winners, not because we are naturally so but because such principles lead naturally to success.
