Interesting thread. If you scrolled through it, you would see, there is many different variations of what a neocon actually is. But one thing is consistent throughout, neocons are former liberals, who have embraced certain aspects of political conservatism. I'm not generally fond of neo-cons. I detest their overzealous foreign policy agenda and their desire for an activist role for the Republican Party, in Washington DC politics. They don't seem to have a great concern about the fraud, waste and abuse that exists throughout the federal budget and in every government department, program and agency.
I just don't like attacks against neocons, being overplayed and portrayed as an attack on all conservative-republicans. I believe this is done by the liberal media and many on the far right, and is detrimental to the Republican Party's ability to fashion and promote a unified front, against the Democratic Party and its liberal base. Such fractional politics is undermining conservative efforts to hold onto power in Wash-DC. Many on the political rightwing, better wakeup and smell the coffee, before its too late.
