Whats worse,being called a Neocon or Liberal?

Question

I'll take being called a NEOCON any day of the week!

Answer 1

Personally I think being called a liberal is worse. The connotations of the word in itself are calling people a know nothing empty brained fool incapable of logical thought.

Answer 2

Being called a Liberal is much worse. Being called a Neocon is a high compliment.

Answer 3

Well both are used way to much because you can be a democrat and not be liberal and you can be a republican and not be a neocon. in the end, since our country was founded be a bunch of liberals(in the true meaning of the word, look it up) and the ever since then most of the forward moving laws have been passed by progressive liberals, I'll take being a liberal everyday. Liberals will be around forever because every party has its liberals, bur neocons cannot compromise and refuse to listen to anybody, so they will ultimately die out(look at other parties through history and see how many of their extreme groups survived)

Answer 4

I think liberal is worse because you can associate that word with radicals but i hardly ever hear the word neocon

Answer 5

Nothings wrong in being called anything you want to be called. If you are a Neocon you believe in the destruction of America and the Planet. Since they are all 'satanist' (this is not an opinion but fact) then you support everything against life and God.
The Neocons are the NWO boys and girls whose teammates are made up of the Illuminati, Israel and the Vatican.

Answer 6

Liberals I know can at least make a fact-based argument.

I've never heard of a Neocon who was able to do so, and their arguments are usually hypocritical to some degree.

I'll say Neocon is worse.

Answer 7

I'd rather be called a liberal. Especially by someone who thinks it is actually an insult.Then I can just quietly laugh over what they think.
I would like to point out that I do not use the word neocon.I may be a liberal, but I personally do not use this word and havent for some time now.

Answer 8

Let's see. Liberals ended slavery, gave women the vote. Won the Second World War, passed civil rights laws. Tried to lift this country into being the greatest hope for the human race in our time.

The Neo-Cons wrecked our economy, sold our sovereignty to international creditors. They squandered our victory in the Cold War by invading Iraq.

What do you think?

By neo-con standards, Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan wouldn't have been let into the Republican party for being too "liberal."

Go read a book. I suggest Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency by Patrick J. Buchanan

From Publishers Weekly
In his indictment of the current Bush administration and its "neoconservative" policies, pundit and occasional presidential candidate Buchanan likens the American condition to that of Rome before the fall, citing "ominous analogies" such as "the decline of religion and morality, corruption of the commercial class, and a debased and decadent culture." According to Buchanan, the blame for this state of affairs rests squarely in the lap of "neoconservatives," who are mere liberals in sheep’s clothing. These neocons, the author contends, have wrestled control of the Republican party out of the hands of true conservatives such as himself, Barry Goldwater and, of course, Ronald Reagan—with disastrous results. Buchanan takes issue with Bush’s policies on, among other things, immigration, terrorism, imperialism, the Middle East, free trade and the deficit. What may come as a surprise to readers is Buchanan’s position on the war in Iraq, which he believes was an enormous error in judgment. "By attacking and occupying an Arab nation that had no role in 9/11, no plans to attack us, and no weapons of mass destruction, we played into bin Laden’s hand," Buchanan writes. But liberals won’t stay on board with the book’s message for long, especially when it comes to issues of culture and social policy. Buchanan is against affirmative action, abortion and gay rights, to name a few, and he believes immigration poses a serious threat to the American way of life. At times, Buchannan obscures his arguments with ill-chosen words that many will read as xenophobic, if not racist. In a discussion of illegal Mexican immigrants, for example, he calls California "Mexifornia" and adds, "Ten years after NAFTA, Mexico’s leading export to America is still—Mexicans. America is becoming Mexamerica." Whether or not one agrees with these conclusions, Buchanan’s book is provocative and will certainly ruffle feathers on both sides of the party line.
