Are Neo-Cons the new Nazis?

Neo-cons and neo-libs are basically the same.

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.

Very funny question. When a neo-con is attacked, he rolls a dice and follows the instructions below:\n\n(1) call the attacker a traitor\n(2) question the attacker's patriotism\n(3) cite a higher authority\n(4) insist that the attacker doesn't understand the issue\n(5) blame Bill Clinton\n(6) talk about attacking another country in order to shift attention.\n\nThe real problem is, this has worked just fine up until Nov 7th.

The term Neo-Nazism is used to refer to any post-World War II social or political movement seeking to revive Nazism or a racist form of Fascism.\n\nA distinguishing feature of modern Nazi-influenced white supremacy is the claim that white people are innately superior to some or all other races, and therefore should rule over them. White supremacists almost always believe that dark-skinned people (especially those with sub-Saharan African ancestry) are inferior.\n\nBecause of historical racist use of Aryan, and especially use of Aryan race in connection with the propaganda of Nazism, the word is sometimes avoided in the West as being tainted, in the same manner as the swastika symbol. In the English language, the word "Aryan" is no longer in technical use to refer to an ethnic group or race, and the popular use of the term to mean "white person" fell out of favor during the 1930s when the obvious obsession of the Nazis with the word became a matter of ridicule in Britain and North America. In the USA, the established and less contentious term "Caucasian" became dominant in official usage.

Neo-Nazis are called like that because they are 'New' Nazis (Nazis were followers or members of the 'Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei' = NSDAP of Adolf Hitler). The Germans call everybody a NEO NAZI that was born after the end of World War II, or the end of the Nazi Regime 1945, following the same political views as Adolf Hitler. The ideology behind 'Nazis' is called Fascism and is not at all limited to a political direction. Fascists are 'Nationalists' caring only for citizens of their own Nationality. They oppose immigration, homosexuality, arts, women's rights and intellectual thinkers. The individual means nothing, no civil rights are granted and is to serve the will of the leaders. George Orwell's 1984 is a very good book for that matter. The worst thing under a Fascist rule are 'Concentration Camps' in which all people end up that don't follow the leaders or don't reflect their vision of how things should be.

Oooh this is a good question. Let's just say that a Neocon is sort of a like a dog in that he only sees in Black and White. The Neocon has no use for debate or dialogue. It's his way or the highway.\n\nToday's Neocons really believe that we are under grave threat, but they don't have the time or inclination to understand why and what we could do to pull the  "barb from the eye of our enemy". \n\nYou know a lot of people walk around with their smart alecky -- WWJD, but you know what they don't want the answer, because he wasn't a Neocon. \n\nHere's the truly funny thing about today's Neocons. It used to be that they shored up despotic governments friendly to American Business interests and couldn't care less if human rights were violated, because Neocons don't give a rip about that stuff. That's for Liberals to worry about. But today the Neocons go on and on about Spreading Freedom...the world must be off it's axis because today's Neocons sound more like Liberals than Liberals. Spreading freedom...since when did a Neocon ever really care about that??\n\nSecurity is what they worship...not freedom.\n\nOf course this answer comes from an unapologetic Liberal, so you have to take it with a grain of salt...I mean what do I know what goes on in the mind of a Neocon and truthfully, I hope I never find out.

NeoCons and many other less radical kinds of people will think that they are not Anti-American but rather Patriotic Americans sticking up for America, against those wishy-washy "liberal" dumb butts.\n\nIt totally escapes them, of course, that they confuse patriotism with chauvinism, which is a prejudiced belief in the superiority of one's group or kind and a fanatical glorification of one's country.  Such people are not influenced by reason or common sense, and it is largely hopeless to talk to them.\n\nBut there is value in accurately describing them and pinning the correct labels on them: chauvinist, unthinking, hate-mongering rabble rousers hiding behind a patriotic facade.

The correct term for them is marxist.  I've heard Horowitz refer to them as neo-communists, but that doesn't really capture their essence, and neither does socialist.  The problem here is today's marxists don't even have a cogent plan for their particular implementation of marxism....just some vague agenda for destroying the United States and democracy in the world in the interests of "social justice".  However, just like all of the previous children of marxist thought......national socialism (nazism), socialism and communism, progressives and liberals are really all about genocide.  What they want.  What they support.  What they ALWAYS support, is nothing less than the murder of hundreds of millions of innocent people.  That really is all that marxism is about, when you pair it down to its essence.  It is the one repeating pattern that ties all of these people (including all liberals) and their behavior together.  It's their goal.  And it is a good reason to seriously consider rounding up and jailing the lot of them.

No, neo-cons are smiting America.  If they weren't doing the smiting, someone else would be.

He'll probably start to target kids early much like the Nazis did with neocon board games and comics depicting anyone who doesn't agree with neocon ideolgy as un-patriotic or communist. He wants to ensure another healthy generation of neocon imbeciles.

Most likely you are making a sick joke. Just in case you are serious. Even in Nazi Germany only a small percentage of German's were Nazis. Many opposed the Nazis and some even paid for this with thier lives. In modern Germany less than %.01 of the people are Neo-Nazis. You will find higher concentrations of Nazis in the US, Brazil, UK and Argintinia among other places than in Germany.

Dr. Phil a man with the PHD said they were criminals to the United States of America. Building NEO-NAZISM, NEO_CON, white supremacy, bigotry through out America is not being American, but an enemy of America and the people. This present Dictatorship needs to stand down, and the Conservative criminals should be imprisoned or deported to the Iraq front to fight the war they started. They are sociopaths & psycopaths that is the diagnosis.

There is a difference.\n\nConservatism is a general term for that side of the spectrum.\n\nA neo-conservative in modern times are the conservatives who are a little farther out on the right.  They, like anyone who gets too far off the deep end, gets closed minded, thinks their side is ALWAYS right, feels like the other side is ALWAYS wrong and is a general BIGOT.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I'm not calling all conservatives that, only neo-conservatives.  It's the same with liberals and neo-liberals (liberals who think all events are a conspiracy by Bush, etc..)\n\nBeing too far on any one side is bad.  That's the idea of neo-con/lib.\n\nUsually, on this forum though, it's just name calling.  Most of the liberals that use "neo-con" are themselves "neo-libs".
