lol i know your going to call me stupid but can u tell me what a necon is

[KA]

i have an idea but im not sure exactly what the definition is

how are they deferent from a normal conservative

[ALago1]

1. Neocons

Neocons generally have all the characteristics of a republican (i.e. social and fiscal conservativism), but also an affinity for worldwide conquest and imperialism.

[Salviati]

4. I'm not so sure about that fiscal conservatism...

Have you seen the budgets under Bush?

Unless of course you mean to imply that fiscally conservative and fiscally responsible are two completely disjoint things, then I completely agree, at least with this current batch of "conservatives"

For more info on neo-conservatives, check out:

[Syrinx]

2. supposedly they are liberals turned conservative

But for some reason they seem to all be ferocious imperialists and intolerant of internal dissent.

5. Leo Strauss

Google: Strauss Rumsfeld Wolfowitz Perle et al...Kinda points to PNAC

[many a good man]

6. Your future

Here are two great links about Leo Strauss' loyal adherents and the future they want to build for America:

This is a nice little background piece by Jim Lobe at AlterNet describing Leo Strauss, the intellectual father of the people who run our foreign policy, and increasingly, domestic policy

This article, Published in the December 29, 2003 issue of The Nation
by Renana Brooks, describes perfectly the neocon strategy at work and how it plays off the mental health epidemic of cognitive dissonance sweeping America today:
