The Nazi government had an aim to try and better Germany and expand its borders for "living space". The policies and trends are completely different, so a direct comparison doesnt really work, but i see your point.\nThe current US gov is not, im my opinion making policies that greatly benefit the country, rather business and making rich people richer. The Nazi's, although very much misguided and twisted, did have grand plans to greatly improve Germany, which in some ways they did achieve (they achieved a lot of infrastructure improvements for instance).\nIt does have a nice ring to it though ;)

ROUND OF APPLAUSE for this man! Finally, someone besides me has figured out that Republicans = Nazis.\n\nFrightening, is it not, that the Govt currently holding power has so much in common with Nazism. My favorite quote is from Hitler: "What good fortune for Government that the People do not think." Brainwash the masses with religeon, and govt will follow. If you read Hitler's book, you'll see that he actually modelled the Nazi party on the Church, and used religeous ceremony under cover of darkness to hypnotize the masses into believeing the crap he preached.

:-)  Not sure what got into me but i'm hoping you will get it from the horses mouth since i forwarded your question to the Conservative Party.  (with a link to this question obviously)I reckon the new conservatives are more llikely to answer than the old ones ever were. \nAlso this is what you get when you put 'new conservatives' into their search egine: http://www.conservatives.com/search.results.page.do

I honestly don't think they're very compassionate.  As far as being conservatives,  I really don't think they are all that conservative either.  They want votes, and there are a lot of liberal ideas on the table right now.  Basically, they're full of crap

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.

Starting shortly after Bush, Sr. was booted from office by vote, the Republican party underwent a very quiet split.  Old school conservatives gave up the reigns to what have become known as neo-conservatives (neo-cons) with a very different agenda than your regular Republican joe.  To ensure the votes though, the party is still the same "Republicans", but with all neo-con leadership.  Old school Republicans (Reaganites) still in politics didn't wish to lose their backing so publically support the party line while providing unquestioning backing to the neo-con agenda.\n\nThe list of Neo-Cons can be found at their public website along with an outline of their very scary agenda that little resembles classical conservatism.  Through control of corporate media firms, the neo-cons have managed to make politics into an emotional issue where facts are no longer an issue.\n\nLabeling women's rights advocates as "baby-killers" and propogating gay rights movements as "threats to the family", as well as focusing attention away from domestic issues with a wholly manufactured "war on terrorism", they have duped part of the population into becoming something akin to the good folks in 1930's Germany.\n\nI see kids come on here with hate speech straight from emotional neo-con propoganda and I get reminded of that scene in Schindler's List where the little girl is screaming "Goodbye Jews!" as her neighbors are marched away.  Neo-con values are NOT patriotic American values by any stretch of the imagination.  If you change your thinking to the ideal of an American Empire, then the neo-cons are for you...I guess you could say the neo-cons are "conserving American power" at the expense of "American values".

A neoconservative isn't a conservative at all. Neoconservatives believe in an all powerful government which intercedes in the lives of all its citizens on behalf of big business and extreme right-wing religous zealots. The economic and military conquest of the planet is the ultimate goal of Neoconservatives by any means necessary.\n\nPaleoconservatives, or traditional conservatives, if you prefer, believe in small central government with the majority of power given to individual states and municipalities, minimal government spending, and the idea that the government should stay the hell out of people's personal lives.

Although this answer does not directly relate to the question asked, I do wish to point out that NAZIs were members of the National Socialist party in Germany.  Socialists are as liberal as you get without becoming communists, who are even further to the left.\n\nWhy do liberals try to change history by saying NAZIs were conservative?

Actually they fit the definition of a Fascist: Fascism is a radical authoritarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, totalitarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism.\n\n\n"The modern American conservative comes in many different flavors, but can generally be categorized in one of three ways: social, fiscal and foreign policy conservatism. Certainly these are very general categories, but almost any issue can fit into at least of the three. Social conservatives believe in traditional family values, the protection of innocent life and support religious tolerance. They typically oppose legal abortion and support tough crime laws that provide for punishment before rehabilitation. Fiscal/economic conservatives believe in limited government intrusion when it comes to economic matters and generally support the private sector vice the government when it comes to providing for economic prosperity. They fight for low/no taxes and limited regulation of businesses. They put their faith in the free market and they generally oppose the redistribution of wealth. Foreign policy conservatives, sometimes called hawks, see the value of having a strong military even during peacetime and support the right of a nation to defend itself. Their view of the world is such that they believe there are times when military power is needed to suppress and defeat Some also believe in the proactive spread of democracy around the world. Most recently, the term neocon has been used to describe President Bush's preemptive war on Iraq. Generally speaking, conservatives see a clear line between good and evil, right and wrong. They tend to not believe in moral relativism, which can be seen in their support of directly confronting threats both domestic (criminals) and international (terrorists, adversarial nations or organizations). Its important to note that the three are not mutually exclusive - a conservative can believe in any part or all of the three. Neoconservatives believe in all three. Neoconservatism is the intersection of economic, social and foreign policy conservatism. We are true conservatives in that we believe in all aspects of conservatism - social, economic and foreign policy."

The similarities are striking. The Nazi party did not suddenly snap into existence and start killing Jews. They slowly gained support by developing a system of acceptance for the absurd (i.e. hating Jews) until, after years of persistence, they got the public to support their genocide and repeated invasion of sovereign countries.\n\nToday, the three pillars of American government are heavily dominated by Republicans, a right-leaning group as were the Nazis. The style is the same: unless you are Christian and white, you are less worthy. This gives them the "moral" ground on which to mount a campaign to pursue similiarly absurd ideas as wiping out Jews (i.e. today, we're detaining and spying on Americans without legal probable cause, murdering "terrorists" who oppose our government, as well as invading sovereign countries).\n\nIs the U.S. government run by Nazis? Not sure. But the similarities are striking.

This is not a scholarly term, but a political spin by the right-wing media.   Ironic, since they themselves display a lot of Fascist tendencies.  I guess it takes one to know one.
