Typical liberal lack of education in the English language. Curt pointed this out
Lets take a look at the term "neocon" in detail and have a little lesson in the English language.
neocon is short for neoconservative.
Some loser liberal made it up based on the idea that the term neophyte is an insult. Neophyte means, literally, New Pathological Growth. This term is often used by educated people to reference someone who is brilliant at learning about some subject, quite often religious since for most of European history most education was religious in nature. The prefix taken from neophyte means New.
Conservative is a word composed of three roots, not root words, there is a difference between word roots and root words. the roots are con (prefix) serve (root) and ative (suffix).
Con means together.
Serve means maintain or keep safe.
Ative means relating to or able to or devoted to.
Conservative means together we maintain or together we are able to maintain or together we are devoted to keeping safe.
Conservative means to keep things the way they are, maintain. In spite of uneducated rhetoric it does not mean return to some past way of doing things. Conserve resources, maintain resources. Conservation, the maintaining of resources. It does not mean "rebuilding it the way it was", although you will hear a lot of uneducated demophytes try to convince you it does mean that.
Now lets look at the two terms together, New together we maintain. So we are going to keep things the same, maintain only we are going to do it in a new way. I bet some of you think that makes sense.
New we keep things the same. These are opposing terms. You either do things a new way or you maintain doing things the same way.
The use of opposing terms together is commonly called an oxymoron.
neoconservative and the derived neocon are oxymoronic terms.
But go ahead and keep using it, I love it when liberal demophytes (free to change pathological growths on society) prove how uneducated they are and how little they know about the Liberal Arts such as English.

It must be the patriot card. The liberals are the ones who are gutting the morale of the troops in order to help the troops.

I know that the term, 'neocon' sounds catchy. But it has a specific meaning. I realize the left normally operates unhampered by such considerations, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

I think it's the, "The world has changed and we live in an age of terrorism" card myself. Why do libs think you can negotiate with terrorists?

More than likely it is one that makes people think instead of following blindly what the democrats say.
Whether you are republican or indepentant you tend to think more than the democrats!
