Realist. Ping.

[aliquis]

Turned out to be a realist...

[Blue Collar Christian]

Yesterday I couldn't even spell neoconservative, now I are one?

[clamper1797]

I'm a Neocon

[Dan from Michigan]

Realist.

[philosofy123]

I was ISOLATIONIST?

[Doctor Stochastic]

The Liberals do think of TR as a echt-Conservative. Big Government supporting Big Business. Trust Buster

[wordsofearnest]

I passed. TR, RR and me.

[Frohickey]

Eeeek!!! "Based on your answers, you are most likely a neoconservative."

Hmm... I thought that I would be considered an isolationist, like my hero, George Washington. :(

I, also, was rated "most likely a neoconservative." However, reading the blurbs about their categories, I think I am somewhere between a neocon and a realist. I have no problem being among Reagan, Teddy, and Eisenhower.

If I had ended up with Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter I would have had to jump off a very tall bridge with six cinder blocks tied to my leg!

After reading Dutch, I'm a bit wary of anything by Edmund Morris. But Dutch himself enjoyed Morris's writings on TR, so....

The quiz said I was a neocon, but I've taken to calling myself a neorealist in the last few years. I'm still rather fond of old-fashioned Westphalian states, but non-state actors are important, too. National interest is definitely important, but I think ethics should inform our foreign policy. A commentator in Foreign Affairs said Bush's foreign policy was the most ethical yet (IIRC).

Gosh... big surprise, I'm a realist! Yep... took off them rose colored glasses a long time ago.

[GunnyHartman]

Extreme neoconservative here!

"what "old" flavor of conservatism are we departing from that we need the new word?"


With the neo-cons, it's a departure from fiscal conservatism, as well as departure from the belief in smaller gov't. There appears to be little regard for running up the deficit with our current non-vetoing administration.

[gilliam]

All you neocons out there, you might want to read the book: The Pentagon's New Map . It will help you solidify your views.

[zlala]

neocon - I don't run & I don't hide....

[laotzu]

Ahh.....the time honored tradition of sheep lining up to receive a label.

Let's keep that line mooooving.

"There appears to be little regard for running up the deficit with our current non-vetoing administration."

In other words a world War on Terror isnt free?

[No Blue States]

"Ahh.....the time honored tradition of sheep lining up to receive a label. Let's keep that line mooooving."

So everyone who took the quiz is a sheep with the voice of a cow?

[kidd]

I am realist.

Which means that I want the UN building moved to another country before we nuke it.
