No it doesn't mean that.. Period.  To me it means you are a free thinking, Astute, Brave and Objective individual who is not swayed by the premise of false patriotism whilst a few feather their nests.\n\nKeep up the good work pal.

As Lope de Vega said:\n\nTo faint away, to dare, to be a traitor, a coward, furious, rough, tender, liberal, shy, brave, mortal, late, alive, loyal, and spirited;\n\nNot to find out of the good center and rest, to prove to be happy, sad, humble, haughty, angry, brave, fugitive, satisfied offended rejealous;\n\nTo flee the face to the clear disillusion, to drink poison for soft liquor, to forget the profit, to love the damage;\n\nTo believe that the sky in a hell fits, to give the life and the soul to a disillusion, this is a love: the one who tried it knows it.

You'll probably get a couple of different answers such as a former Dem that switched to the republican party. The definition I personally subcribe to is that a neoconservative or the "new" conservative is one that is further right-wing than Reagan, your exclusive, bible thumping, war mongering lunatics that point to what I call "pseudo-patriotism" as the guise for validating their Un-American behavior. The classic example being Bush and his criminal administrtion. So I guess it really depends on which definition you prefer.

I have yet to encounter this word...could it be that you mean "uppity"? in which case, this means somebody who thinks TOO highly himself/herself. Simply put, somebody who is arrogant or snobbish.
