Chances are they learned to label and categorize people with different ideas than their own from right wing extremists, you know, people who gleefully toss around terms like "feminazi" and "libtard".\n\n*Sigh*, no that is not what "neo-con" means, but thanks for the disinformation.\n\n A "neo-con" was first termed in 1970 by socialist author and activist Michael Harrington to characterize former leftists who had moved significantly to the right, people he derided as "socialists for Nixon." \n\nThe "neoconservatives" thus described in this original sense tended to remain supporters of the welfare state, but had distinguished themselves from others on the left by allying with the Nixon administration over foreign policy, especially in their anti-communism, their support for the Vietnam War, and strident opposition to the Soviet Union.\n\nIn 2006, a "neo-con can be described as those hard right wingers who are mainly characterized by their interventionist, hawkish views on foreign policy, and their lack of support for the small government principles and restrictions on social and deficit spending, when compared with other American conservatives.

Give it to em Brit. You can't get a straight answer out of a Conservative Neocon Republican. What they say is all crap, and they sound programed by Neocon Oxycontin drug addict Rush Limbaugh. They will tell you the American Civil War wasn't over Slavery. I am a Yankee that is true, but I am a Liberal Democrat and I don't listen to these peoples crazy talk either. Republicans are racists and bigots, and they aren't afraid to say so. This has been their demise of power in America, and Congress is getting voted in November, and they are all out. America will start living in a Democracy again, so don't give up on us, we are not all the same.

First, I hope you realize that your Neocons label is kind of funny to us conservatives.  Its one that liberals love to use to describe a profile that they love to overlay on the rest of the conservatives with but to us its kind of silly cause it just some media thing.\n\nSecond, this is VERY important.  Conservatives (as I hope our liberal counterparts) care more about this country than words can describe.  So, yes as a very proud member of the conservative side of thinking I understand we've had some stupid/corrupt/lazy/{more expletives here} represenatives (high and low) over the last 4-8 years and we are not very proud of it.\n\nFinally, I pray that somebody can fix it and I believe it comes with fresh ideas and new energized people.  The Republicans (the politicians I'm talking about now) got fat and happy and forgot who they represented.  They are now gone or at least their power gone they got what they deserved am I happy?  Well, let me put it this way I happy some bad/lazy apples are out of town.\n\nSo heres to new possiblities!  Our day will come in 2 years but let's see where this train takes us.

take this test, see how close you are to being a libertarian.http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html\n'liberals' these days are democrats. the neo cons or 'conservatives' are republicans. they tend to lump everyone who sees thing differently from them as 'liberals' & use the term as a derrogatory. cant really trust what they say, pretty closed minded & elitist.

Nice rant.....\n\nShould I address all of the fallicies one by one or will it be okay for me to just say that your 'facts' are questionable at best and some are plain wrong.\n\nBut alas, the selective memory and closed mind of liberals is at work again.

Because they are afraid... they know that they have two years to try to convince America that being conservative is wrong, and are afraid its not going to happen... because most people know the truth.\n\nThe truth is of course that what Answerman said is wrong, either through ignorance or he wants to change the facts.  He linked conservatives with NAZI Germany.  Heads up kids, Hitler was a socialist... that's right, a liberal.  It the the liberal, democratic president FDR who had dealings with NAZI Germany.\n\nThe term Neo-Con is in flux, it doesn't have much of a meaning yet.  It is used interchangeable to describe the far right and the right leaning moderates.  If you want to frustrate a liberal when they use it ask what it means.  They get that deer in the headlights look every time.\n\nNote to BrianW_28:  I must have been typing when your answer popped up, I didn't see it.  Congratulations on being one of the few libs around here who can not only spell but use coherent sentences AND string them together to convey coherent thoughts.

Some people try to empower themselves by using derogatory expletives and "name calling". They do it from a fear of being suppressed or from knowing they have no rational answers for those who oppose them. It would be better if non-liberals could debate the liberal  "ideas", but since most liberals are sheep and follow the flock, their ideas become generic without purpose and meaning. Liberal "extremists", like most extremists", make a habit of being argumentive by nature. Most people who debate them, are usually self thinkers with good self-esteem who can communicate powerfully  without the name calling. I call these people conservatives and moderates, not extremists

Calling someone names who offends you is just a way of admitting that you are less intelligent then that person.  This seems to be the common attack lately of the intellectually lazy and morally corrupt.  No matter how crackpot their idea, they claim that because it came from them they have some sort of divine right to be correct all the time.  Just ignore them, they will go away when they see something shiny or decide to be offended by the next thing that talk radio tells them to be offended by.

The greatest accomplishments of the right-wing conspiracy.  \n\nThe media is not liberal.  The media is irresponsible and sensationalistic.  The conservatives started calling it "liberal" and made "liberal" synonymous with irresponsible.  And they used their pundits like Rush, Hannity, and O'Reilly (the three antichrists that Nostradamus predicted) to push this agenda and it worked.  Now it has radio stations and fox news as it's own propaganda machine.  And they still get away with calling the media "liberal," whenever it suits their purpose.  \n\nThis is how politically savvy these guys are.  And liberals could do nothing to stop them.  And it hurts me to say so because I am a bleeding heart, but it is what it is.  Right-wingers are great manipulators.

I've been trying to figure that out myself. I'm just glad there are more Conservatives on here than I first thought. Its sad that yahoo answers has been poisoned by those damn liberals.

Yes, I am sick of the foolishness and name calling on people involved in the government. I myself do not "name-call" people I do not like in politics, because I find it inmature and ignorant. Instead, I find that it is much better to find logical points against them then use naive name calling.

Don't go to the "All republicans..." place it puts you in with all the "Why do all liberals..." people.  Having said that I would say the the most prominent neocons media spokespeople ARE insulting, condescending, nasty, sarcastic, etc.  They are making money by getting like minding people to listen and watch their shows and buy their books.  They love to use hyperbole (gross exaggeration as favorite tactic.

The main problem is that these "WORDS" are tossed around and used incorrectly! \n\nLiberal (Left Wing) should mean a free thinker, open minded, ect...\n\nConservatives (Right Wing) are people who should save, protect, or carefully use assets or make choices that require unclouded thinking.\n\nIn the end it's all a bunch of bull shit! The so called conservatives are ignorant minions of the wealthy and powerful. The GOP (grand over-class party) is a great example of this. They spend our money on bull shit like there's no tommorrow and try and oppress those who oppose them. They suck at social justice. (We are a Christian Nation yet we treat our poor and powerless like shit by cutting funding to important social programs and education). And they are great at filling their own pockets and the pockets of their masters with our hard earned tax dollars. This all goes against the saying "they will know we are Christian by our love".\n\nThe left wingers don't want people telling them how to live or what kind of choices they can make. BUT there are some things that shouldn't happen like a federal recongized homosexual marriage. The people need to vote on stuff like that. There are so many more important social and legal issues that need to be fixed before jumping onto a sword like that! \n\nIt all comes down to money and power. Right wingers leaders lie just as well if not better than left wingers. Don't let the left or right wing control your mind. Don't use these "Words" to lable yourself or others because these words are not used for what they mean. \n\nEducate yourself on the issues not by Watching FOX NEWS or CNN but by opening up a book and your mind.

Ya know, we really shouldn't get into name-calling and using putdowns and employing pejorative terms to define those with whom we disagree...\n\nOh screw it!\n\nYeah, most bush supporters strike me as ignorant of the facts, arrogant in their support of much that is in fact evil, and juvenile in terms of their political sophistication (or lack of same) and understanding of the world at large.\n\nMan, that felt good. ;)

how can you oversimplify everyone into "liberal" and "conservative" labels? At this point, those words have no meaning, because they could mean absolutely anything.\n\nFor example, liberal can mean socialist, or it could mean capitalist, and conservative could mean noninterventionist, or it could mean interventionist. Since these are directly opposed, the words have no objective meaning.\n\nThrow away the labels and use some logic.
