Why do Neocons hate women and children and hate Social Security?

Well Jack...I wouldn't say they hate women and children. I'd say they hate pretty much anyone who is not in their tax bracket, or their demographics. This would include men too. By the way ...Phillip K. Dick wrote "Minority Report" and "Bladerunner" just to name a couple

Yes neocons seem to think America is for them only to enjoy. Not for working class people. Let's see if the Dems can turn it around. I don't believe the rest of us were put here to only serve the rich and powerful.

conservatives are made of the ignorant and the greedy. they have tricked poor people into paying for their wars and tax breaks.

Because the neocons are interested in staying in power and in control. that includes certain business leaders who benefit from the climate of fear. It is sad because it causes people to alter their life choices do I really want to send my kid to Italy this summer? Should I worry about going to Canada? I wonder if it will be safe flying to Hawaii? That sort of thing. they are counting on continuing the perception that they are the only ones able to keep us safe. They brand anyone who disagrees with them as anitAmerican and/or liberal. At some point they will no longer be able to maintain the level of fear to keep the huddled masses in control. When another political philosophy is in power, there dang well better be investigations into the nonsense of the past five years.

I couldn't have said it better myself. You are so right. the Neo-Cons should be asamed of themselves for even using the term "conservative." Conservatism essentially means small government, which they clearly do not believe in, though they say they do. "Marriage = Man+Woman," they say. To coin a phrase... "Only a SITH deals in absoloutes."

Yes, it annoys me, too. I grew up around people like that. This is partly why I'm against welfare-because I know that it gets abused. The major reason I'm against it though, is because I believe in people just being responsible for themselves. Unemployment for people who have actually LOST their jobs is about the only social welfare I believe in-aside from financial aid, which helps kids get out of an unfortunate situation that they were put in by their parents.\n\npseudo_obscure, I skimmed through the other posts, and I see no mention of race/color. Why would you call someone a racist for commenting on welfare? It seems like you are the racist for associating welfare with a specific race.\n\npinky, and anyone else who does not believe that people on welfare actually pay for nothing in life, I grew up with people like this. First off, there's something called Section 8, in which the govt will pay part or ALL of your rent. Add food stamps to that, and what's left for these people to worry about in life??? A few years ago, I worked with someone who was about to move into another home, and she was hesitant because she didn't "want to lose [her] housing" and that she "waited 3 years to get free housing". SHE ACTUALLY SAID THAT!!! Can you imagine hearing crap like that from one of your COWORKERS? Knowing that part of the deductions from your pay check is going to pay her rent?

There is merit in your statements. Research into todays Neocons will reveal a lot of former Democrats. People like Wolfowitz and Kristol are more simpatico with Democrats then with traditional paleocon Republicans. Point of fact, Neocon Republicans today despise old style Republicans. Folks like Buchanan and Tancredo are anathema to Neocons. Rove and Tancredo within the last year actually had a shouting match at the White House. November 7th could portend a split within the Republican party.

Because their entire paradigm is based on control.  They have been against every issue that would give power to any minority or group that might weaken their control like: women's and black's right to vote, child labor laws, unions, handicapped rights, the minimum wage, social security, medicare, medicaid, unemployment insurance, the list goes on forever.  The point is to keep women under control so they won't upset the cart.  Women's view of the world is definitely contrary to this paradigm and needs to be stopped.

Conservatives hate women. Women are more often made the victim in illegal prostitution. Law makers who like women would help to make legalized, regulated prostitution a reality. It would even help stimulate the economy, among other things.

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.

While I'll simply say that I agree with "trinitytough" on the specific reasons, I want to address everyone that says conservatives hate Hillary just because she is a strong woman.\nWell, what about Condi Rice!?!  Rumors are that she'll be one of the major republican candidates in 2008, AND some opinions in the media describe her as one of the most powerful women in the world.  Hmmmmm... seems like conservatives should hate her even more than Hillary, and yet, many conservatives would LOVE to vote for Rice (or any of a half dozen other prominent conservative political women).  \n\nJust think if she were elected Pres... the first black AND the first woman president and *GASP* she's a REPUBLICAN!?!  What on earth will the liberals do when they can't call conservatives male chauvinistic, racists!?!  In their desperation they'll probably flip-flop and say that conservatives are trying to repress the poor, neglected white male...

i don't like democrats, simply because they want to put everyone on welfare and tell them that it's alright to not have a job because you are depressed.\nSome people will work very hard to support you but you do not have to contribute to society except to spread your legs (again) and have more kids that you can't afford. \nDemocrats also believe that illegal aliens should have more rights than tax paying American citizens.

No they voted for Bu$h twice and would again if they could, they only care about tax cuts for those making above $300,000. They also  will take short term gain over what's best for the Country at every vote they make. The objective of the Neocons is to end Social Security at all cost, even if they have to run up more debt. Short term they get the tax cuts and long term working class Tax payers pay the bill for 30 years.\nUnder Conservatives Government is now bigger not smaller, Debt is Higher, Foreign ownership of America has never been higher.\nThe Middle class is almost gone and the ranks of the poor have grown by leaps and bounds, 41 million Americans have no basic Health care and a end to all Social Security is the game. Just like under Reagan. History has been repeated. Now go back and look at what Reagan spent on Defense. Reagan also ignored AIDS and it will infect 100 million in the next 5 years.

Because Neo-Cons make up the top %1 of the economic elite in the U.S.  They are often backed by big oil and are large supporters of the Saudis.  Neo-Cons have a very specific economic goals, force down american living wages, force foriegn markets to open up to free trade, maintain american pharma profits and keeping generic drugs off the market, and keeping stable conrol of oil in the caspian corridor.\n\nThe Neo-Cons have achived almost all of their goals in the past 10 years.  If the average american knew of these things it would be almost impossible to achive these goals.  This is why the Neo-Cons keep people distract throught terror or misdirect them from the real reasons we are at war.  After all, it was the Neo-Cons that created al queda.  It is american forign policy that keeps cheap generic aids drugs out of Africa, etc...\n\nThere is a class war going on and the Neo-Cons are not on the side of the average american.  I wish people could tell the difference between a conservitive, a liberal, a progressive, a neo liberal and a neo-con.

Ultra-right wingers (not all conservatives) live in the past.  The ideal right-wingnut's world is 1950, with nuclear/military proliferation, women largely stuck at home baking pot roasts and popping out kids, and minorities keeping their place.\n\nThey're also angry hatemongers, always going for the jugular in the most inane, childish fashion.  Look at how popular Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Phyllis Schafly all are with the conservatives.  Combine these two facets and you've got a bunch of sore losers whose only delight is in rehashing old foes, when it's essentially pointless.\n\nMy $.02

They pay low wages 'cause they hate for anyone but themselves to have a good standard of living.  THey want to create a banana republic in the US where a tiny minority of rich control the multitudes of poor with union-busting, religious control & a culture that says the poor deserve low pay 'cause they're labelled as "lazy" by their rich overlords.

Because their leaders pander to them, because it is one of the largest voting blocs in the nation, interconnected and well organized.\n\nI know everyone thinks I'm a "neocon", but I truly despise Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, and think they are bad for my country
