Weren't neoconservatives created from the failed liberal policies of the 60's?

Question

Oh really Nostra.... Historically, neoconservatives supported a militant anticommunism, tolerated more social welfare spending than was sometimes acceptable to libertarians and mainstream conservatives, supported civil equality for blacks and other minorities, and sympathized with a non-traditional foreign policy agenda that was less deferential to traditional conceptions of diplomacy and international law and less inclined to compromise principles, even if that meant unilateral action.

Answer 1

I wouldn't say so. I was a Goldwater conservative, and am now considered a Liberal. My views haven't changed.

The neoconservatives are leaning very heavily towards facism (some would say from the inside), noting to do with 60' Liberals. Liberals from that time still stand for the same things, personal liberty and equal rights. Not Neocon aims at all.

Answer 2

In the 80's

Answer 3

no.

but i would be simply fascinated to hear from you which accomplishments from the 60's that were the result of liberal policies you regard as failures.

i wonder if you consider the voting rights acts of the 1960's as failures, or anti lynching laws or laws that granted greater freedom of equality to minorities and women.

in my opinion neocons were created from an alliance between business and govt, which is bad for both...

Answer 4

No. I believe that the liberals of the 60's are, for the most part, still liberal. However, they are not as extreme. Maturity did this.

Answer 5

No the 60s is when you liberals came out of the closet, burned your draft card and put on your pink tutus.

Answer 6

it may have been created from that... but it's been mixed with the religous right and all comprimise is gone... it's "the way they view God's" way or the highway...

Answer 7

no,it started further back.
