You are willfully ignorant...

As I have already pointed out on this thread, it is important to prepare to be called willfully ignorant for refusing to parrot the “official” definition.

Your continued use of ad hominem attacks indicates you have nothing else to say...a common affliction in certain circles.

Define “neo-con”.

If you mean someone wholly dedicated to the protection and exportation of the American way of life, by force if necessary ... then count me among them. This is the definition used by most liberals — and it includes most of the great conservative minds of the last 50 years.

If you mean a shallow, big-government, free-spending “new conservative” — then I am not among them. This is the definition used by some conservatives.

If you think they are one-in-the-same, then you are mistaken.

When we argue with vauge terminology, people read into your cryptic labels whatever they want.

Only when we allow it.

How do you stop it? I would have been honored to be called a liberal 200 years ago.

Did you know that "air force" appears nowhere in Article 1, Section 8?

It must be dismantled immediately.

Schnell!

"When I see the word “neocon”, I always see it as a codeword used by kooks to really mean “Jew”."

Your keyboard only works in "output" mode? Ever read anything?

Try post #42. If you need help, send up a flare.

That’s because the word “neocon” is always used by anti-Semites to refer to people who want to help Israel.

I didn’t think you’d dare to show your handle around here after “L Ron” deciminated your candidate in the GOP primary last year. Now...Ron is on nearly every talk show. That must really burn you up.

Well, that’s ANOTHER definition. (post 42)

And no, I don’t “accept” their definition, if your reading skills weren’t deficient, you’d have understood that.

Baiting you? First off, I’d have to value your opinion to want to bait you. I don’t know you, so no, i don’t have any basis on which to value your opinion.

I don't think Irving Kristol, who continues to proudly call himself a neo-con. will appreciate your smear that he is an anti-semite.

You and Al Sharpton must be good pals. He screams racist to shut up anyone who disagrees with him and you scream anti-semite. Do you also call your wife an anti-semite when your coffee is cold?

"..stick further explanations up your.."

Obviously, if people don't understand the terminology, they are going to be confused. If someone is confused, how are they ever going to learn to recognize the enemy?

We currently have a situation where good patriots are being fooled and they're going after straw men instead of learning anything.

Alternatively, we could all just continue to tear at each other, allowing the socialists to completely take control unimpeded.

Apparently you are operating under the mistaken believe that I do not understand the meaning, thus your asinine post to me. No,it is because I understand it that the article makes no sense.

Designer seems to be doing a lot of that on this thread -assuming nobody but he understands the term, and thinking there is one, solid definition used by all people.

Purity? Now thats an evasion of fact.

RINOs and the K Street elite are not even on the same ship of state as are the various conservative groups.

Facing a choice between a liberal lite republican and a real deal, take no prisoners, far left liberal, guarantees a leftist victory virtually every time.

Although there are various Spectors - and it does Snowe in the GOP.

When the GOP itself stops bashing conservatives, - ala McCain, et. al, - it may start to win in the big arena again.

I don't need purity. - I'd settle for being on the same path at all.

I am sure the losing GOP candidate for Paul’s congressional seat in Texas apprecaites the fact that you laughed at his defeat. Is that how you treat all your friends when they suffer misfortune?

You didn’t read what I said. I’ll repeat it.

That’s because the word “neocon” is always used by anti-Semites to refer to people who want to help Israel.

"If you think they are one-in-the-same, then you are mistaken."

Some folks here think definitions can change. How say you?

I’m not sure who he is, how he became my friend, or what he apprecaites.

I am sure many of your posts are filled with lies.

Maybe I should just help you with simple logic

Anti-Semites use the word “neocon” to refer to people who help Israel

That does NOT mean:

Everyone who uses the word “neocon” is an anti-Semite.
