I can't for the life of me understand why neo-con is a such an epithet to many right wingers? Reagan was the culmination of neo-con thinking, and his embrace of the supply siders was a repudiation of the GOP country club set that had ruled the party since the '30's.The neo-cons brought the brains, the toughness and the better ideas, so that men like Reagan would would thrive.Being a neo-con now is a no more than being a conventional Republican.


It's really about time to drop this hypenation, don't you think?

The term "neocon" defines a certain wing of conservatism and the Republican party. Thus it is a useful term. And yes it is more mainstream and dominant now than other wings - for the moment.
