Sam, I don't think "neo-conservative" was a 'new moniker' given because of Bush and Co.

The term has quite a history to it. Neoconservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In fact, the link alludes to a point that it may in direct opposition to libertarian ideas, much like drgoodtrips suggested. Maybe he wasn't so much in need of 'research' after all?

It was in their mission statement in when I first read their website a few years back. They've reworded it when they figured out they shouldn't really say it in public. I remember it saying Global Domination. Now they call it Global Leadership. Here's what they say now.

Welcome to the Project for the New American Century

I'll just go change wikipedia right now to my definition then, and post that as a valid link. Seriously....a credible source would be better.

his definition is a load of crap. lol especially about conserving resources.. when i read that i was like wtf is he talkin about... honestly to me you are describing the difference between a corrupt conservative and an honest one then adding in some policy ideas you dont agree with in hoping that some conservatives will say 'ya im not a neo con i dont do that'.. its crap..its a bunch of hooey.

If the conservatives want to distance themselves from the neocons, they'll have to start rejecting them. So far, they are pretty much standing behind the Bush admin still.

Scott Ritter on neocons and conservatives/Republicans

ahh i knew it.. it was a game all along.. a ruse to get at mr bush.

Did you even read the site? It is cited through the history section, including an interesting set of paragraphs alluding to (and citing) instances where some aspects of neo-conservatism has roots in leftist and Wilsonian thought. But, even then I think the subtle point was been lost on you. Okay, here goes...

Point is that political philosophy is what drgoodtrips was getting at: You will see different takes and schools of thought within groups. Liberals and Conservatives included. Neo-conservatism is no exception.

According to who, exactly? Pundits? Most conservatives I know are fed up with Bush. The only ones I see siding with Bush and claiming to be Conservatives are other pundits, who I would not say represent the bulk of any real school of thought. They only represent themselves.

what did we call neocons during the cold war? patriots?

Neo - meaning New

Con - meaning "con" the sh*t out of the world into thinking you care about America when all you are really trying to do is gourge yourself upon the national budetary teet.

thats barely even clever shows me you cant even give a definition of one... tell me "neo cons believe in facism' um.. i dont... i strongly believe in representative democracy.... i believe in strong military and i support iraq war and afganistan war.. and the war on terror in general.. i support israel. i support america. i support the existance of christianity .. makes me a neo con.. thats basically it...honestly when it comes down to it

Like I said, I could change wikipedia right now and then post it as proof, if I wanted to. If your opinion is based in fact, find us some credible sources, like I did. I'm not doubting you, I just don't look at wikipedia like it's fact. Anyone can change it at any time.

According to Scott Ritter, as I quoted. The republican conservatives have just voted down the party line in the House and the Senate against the war funding bill, agreeing with President Bush, head neocon. I don't think that looks like they are trying to rid themselves of the neocon parasite.

They were called "the crazies" during the Reagan administration, read my link.

what was your source again? credible means unbiased meaning if you got them from a liberal source then its just a bunch of slander and lies.

Me thinks ye protest too much.

It is ironic how slanderers tend complain about being slandered.

If Liberals are by definition know to be overly "Politcally Correct," then how can they simultaneously be guilty of slander.

Politically Correct people are usually found to be painfully guilty of choosing their words too carefully as not to upset those they are defining.
