Do neoconservatives pose a great danger to this great nation?

Question

Just curious....

If not, why not?

Answer 1

So dangerous that members of my extended family who have been lifelong Republicans have quit the party- not to become Democrats but to get away from the stench of Big Government "Conservatism" where Borrow and Spend is back and unneccessary wars are started.

A good balanced site about The War Party is www.antiwar.com, started by Libertarians but now allowing views from across the spectrum weighing against the stupidity of Perpetual Democracy (Leo Strauss's convolution of Trotsky's "Perpetual Revolution", meaning war, war and more war).

My own brother, just eight months ago, could have been a prototype Red State Conservative. Now he recoils in horror at the mention of Bush and is urging his son to NOT join the military as cannon fodder.

Answer 2

Neoconservatives pose a tremendous danger to this nation, and the world at large. They have made an unholy alliance between religion and big business, which has caused religion to be utilized for immoral ends, thus corrupting what ever little was redeeming about religion, and this process has also granted sacrosanct legitimacy to be accorded to big business regardless of how sinister many of their actions are. Neocons have deftly fooled much of the public into believing that the allowance of unregulated capitalism is the hallmark of a Godly country, while anything short of this ideal, or anything that hints of government oversight of business, is akin to ungodly Communism.

Neoconservatives, more than any other group, put our democracy in a precarious situation, because they have marshaled a substantial effort in attacking one of the most seminal pillars of democracy – the right to dissent without fear of vilification or reprisal. The Neocons have demonized those who have disagreed with their foreign policy initiatives and domestic dealings as being un-American, even going to the point of characterizing them as treasonous. The right to dissent without fear of being marginalized or persecuted is central to any healthy democracy. Neocons are in fact guilty of being the very thing they call others: enemies of democracy.

Answer 3

No. the perfect chance is the shortcoming of ability of all voters to throw off the inherent corruption in society often. It stems from how marketplace is administered no longer because of what marketplace (oil = Bush) is in contact with. agencies are run to help self activity of properly workers bonuses (money corrupts) as judgements are made for couple of minutes period income really than the perfect sustainable purposes. danger is managed to work out what might want to be were given away with really than seeing a thanks to cope with probabilities of one million in 50 twelve months activities, a million in 20 twelve months activities etc. it really is no longer confusing for wise conscious human beings to be positive, that's difficult for them to positioned their heads above the parapet and say "sufficient"......

Answer 4

Yes, more then most people think.

They want to do more than overturn Roe v Wade, they want to have total control of the American society.

They want to control the print media, and all of the air waves.

They want to provide absolute power to a Neocon President. Dick Cheney has even public spoken about absolute power of the President, he has been pushing it for a while. Of course Cheney will only push this agenda with a Republican President in the White House.

Answer 5

no hillary supporters set that benchmark long ago. its clearly guilt by participation NOT by association and theyll never get that.

Answer 6

The greatest danger to this country won't come from a policy of forcibly spreading democracy, it comes from those who would create an Imperial Presidency by subverting the US Constitution and its seperation of powers.

Answer 7

They pose a serious threat not only to this nation but to the entire world. Their insidious ideology has infiltrated the upper echolons of foreign governments, transforming them into mere pupppets, bending to the neocons' imperialistic will.

Answer 8

Absolutely. Their cowboy mentality and lack of knowledge of the world around them make their extremely poor decisions detrimental to the USA and the world at large. They only seek leaders who talk tough yet have no clue on how to proceed in a constructive manner.

Neo-cons no nothing about the Middle East nor AL-Q. Yet they believe that shooting from the hip will resolve every issue. Bush knew nothing about Islam nor the different beliefs within Islam. Yet he boldly invaded a country who's very populace represent several variations of the religion.

Answer 9

No.

Anyone who opposes them does.

Answer 10

Radicals and fanatics of ANY creed are a threat to ALL rational and free societies.
