If I liked Sarah Palin, am I a neo-con? If I favored the surge and winning in Iraq, am I a neo-con? If I favor America and American sovereignty, am I a neo-con? If I dislike everything Michael Steele has done/said so far, am I a neo-con?
Would someone please explain this gobbledy-gook to me?!
Kick the RINOs out too!
I can't see how Rumsfeld, Cheney or Palin are "Neo" anything. Were they liberals in the past? Nope. They are deliberately being dilluted with those that do originate from the left and the RINOs. In essence the Joe Lieberman, Ed Koch types... socially liberal but forein policy hawks.
We are all neo cons unless we can prove otherwise....Lets get ourselves out of our party!

Dear Confused:
Boy! You really ARE confused!
Aside from the fact that the definition of Neo-Con has been posted here many times before, I see that there are still plenty of people who were absent that day. So here goes: (again)
The neocons were (and still are) liberals who left the democrat party when the democrat party "went soft" on war by nominating George McGovern.
The neocons migrated to the Republican party in order to make sure their version of foreign policy continued to have legs. They originated the term, not us. We are not attempting to disparage someone based upon religious or ethnic background. The term is purely political, not "racist". It has nothing whatsoever with anyone who recently converted to conservativsm. I know of absolutely no example of anyone who is actually conservative being a neocon, unless they are just too ignorant to know anything about it, and they end up empowering the neocons out of their own ignorance.
As I get very tired of trying to educate folks who just don't give a rat's behind about facts, I suggest that you don't take my word for it, but do some reading on your own.
Think of it as "homework" and your grade in freedom hinges on whether you can understand who is our enemy, and who is our friend.
Neo-con is an epithet thrown at those who disagree and/or those who are Jooooos. Identifying "neocons" is little more than a game of "spot the Jooooooo."
