Is Neo Conservatism dead in the water?

Question

and can we look forward to fiscal conservatives with true Republican values of Respect and Patriotism to America and her citizens.

Cheney and Bush more or less look like defeated men.

nonalcoho... Yes sir.. I would. I am a true independent that will only vote for candidates on the basis of policy and not on party lines.

Answer 1

As much as I would like to believe this is the case, I think it would be a presumptuous declaration to automatically assume because of the state of the war on terror, the occupation in Iraq, the loss of midterm elections, and Bush’s poll numbers, that Neo-conservatism is on its deathbed.

One can say that for right now it has been knocked down, but anything that can be knocked down came come back up, given the right circumstances. What dictates the circumstances conducive to the resuscitation of Neo-conservatism is the success or failure of both progressives and fiscal conservatives to formulate a plan, both domestically and internationally, that caters to the needs of American citizens, as well secures our place on the global stage through morally sound means. The resurgence of Neo-conservatism is contingent upon whether or not their adversaries fail or not. Let us pray that they do not fail.

Answer 2

Neo-conservatism is the two oxymoronic and moronic. As such, it is an inherently fascist term. this is doublespeak. this is purely purpose interior the language is to cajole Rush Limbaugh listeners to no longer be frightened of the huge transformations they presented to the gadget. Bush is an intensive Fascist Plutarch, no longer a conservative. happily, the yank gadget of separation of powers prevented him from ruining the country thoroughly. every person who thinks his regulations succeeded has the two been in a cave for 3 years listening to hurry Limbaugh(and hundreds of 1000's have) or ill interior the top(and hundreds of 1000's are)

Answer 3

The answer is yes and no.

I will explain:

Yes in much the same sense that the far left liberalism movement has been 'halted'. The country has moved more to the center with the extremes on either side basically being told, 'shut up we are not wanting to listen to you any longer.'

No in that, just like the far left liberals such as myself still exist, we have recognized we need to let the majority of the country lead at this pt in order to re-unite the country.

That is why I have toned down my anti-Republic rhetoric. The sad part is that the neocons haven't caught on yet to what I am saying; therefore, isolating themselves more and more everyday. A large portion of the conservatives have moved to independent... pretty much leaving the Republic party with only the neocons. As you can see, Republics are sitting around 28% popularity... illustrating my pt about it not being dead but losing power.

I've noticed here lately a few old timer neocons just don't seem to have a grasp of what is going on. They are still in the mindset that old strategies are going to work.

Here is an example:
A close-knitted group of neocons here are still using the term 'Liberal Democrat' every time they refer to any type of Democrat. They haven't woken up to the fact that Democrats just won the majority by electing Blue Dog Democrats = conservative Democrats. They haven't realized yet that when they use these terms, ppl get it now... ppl aren't falling for it and are recognizing those statements as inflammatory, polarizing and flatly, not moving us in the direction we all hope to go.

Answer 4

Depends on what you mean by fiscal conservatives. Do we need to cut spending? Yes. But nobody from any party seems to want to do that. Do we need to raise tax rates? No - tax revenue has skyrocketed since tax rates were reduced, because the private sector is allowed to reinvest its earnings, thus growing the economy and increasing the tax base, which has more than made up for the initial reduction in tax rate.

Answer 5

Your inability to detect political strategy is showing.

Neo-conservatism is more likely to survive than any other mid to left political arrangement. That alone is self-evident.

Only liberals can say that a sitting President and Vice-President are the losers, the defeated, when they are the survivors. It is typical of liberals to claim the winners to be losers, and losers to be winners; as they cite moral and/or intentional victory.

So don't worry about neo-conservatism.

Answer 6

I hope neo-conservatism is dead. After Bush and Cheney, I don't think anyone will run the presidency like that. In the end, if the only good thing we get from them is a manual about "How not to run the presidency" then it will all be worth it.

Answer 7

If you were daily walking through the mine fields this country has laid for these two decent men, you might just look the same way! Or can your libtard mentality not wrap itself around this concept?

Answer 8

I would say so. Bush's liberalism has exposed just how dissapointing a faux-conservative can be. He wants amnesty? The debt is screaming high! He wont fight this war like a real man! I don't think Bush is a conservative.

Answer 9

No. And you can thank the far left for that.

Watch the Democratic candidates for President. They are going to sound more and more socially conservative as we go along.

And my answer has nothing to do with Bush. The citizens of the US are socially conservative. Not leftist. Not even close.

Answer 10

Would you vote for a true fiscal conservative? For some reason I do not think so!
