As I get very tired of trying to educate folks who just don't give a rat's behind about facts

Maybe you're the only one here who doesn't realize that the meaning of words change over time. You know, whomever controls the language controls politics.

A learned man such as yourself should certainly be aware of this. Instead of reading what others have written here that explains how the term "neoconservative" has been bastardized by the left, you're busy ranting about your own superiority regarding a term that was coined more than thirty five years ago. The popular understanding/meaning of that term has changed dramatically over time and it's unfortunate you're still clinging to a definition no one uses any longer. Instead of admonishing others to learn from you perhaps it is you who should be doing the learning. Looks like you have a little homework of your own.

"..the meaning of words change over time."

Only when we allow it. My dictionary does not "change" while resting on the shelf. My name does not change over time.

"..regarding a term that was coined more than thirty five years ago."

Taking that "logic" to its natural conclusion, our Constitution is hopelessly out of date, and the meaning of it has utterly changed, so we might as well ignore it completely .

You and the socialists have a lot in common. Did you get that job that you applied for in the Obommer administration?

I gave "my" definition, now will you do likewise, and post "your" definition of neocon for us?
