This is the proper definition of the word.
Around here, the operating definition of “neo-conservative”seems to be - anyone who had the audacity to not vote for Pat Buchanan.
After watching Buchanan WILLINGLY participate in a discussion about Anna Nicole Smith's new television show, I would say MANY of Bucky's Boys would be heading for the hills, hiding their heads in shame. And if they aren't........they SHOULD be!
Needless to say, it was NOT an earth-shattering CONSERVATIVE (the REAL CONSERVATIVE, don'tcha know) discussion. It wasn't even NEO-conservative. It was inane, pulp, trash. He had every opportunity to decry the garbage.....but chose, instead, to participate in the attempt to give the subject legitimacy.
