Made you look!

neo - New and abnormal

con(servative) - Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.

And that's straight from dictionary.com :D

What does it mean??? It just means your thread is crippled because Les is most likely going to take a dim view of it based on http://www.otcentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15120

There will be no more heckling.
There will be no more fishing for arguments.

I should like to add that the words neo-con, neo-anything, liberal, conservative, commie, lefty and righty will no longer be utilized as broad insults/tools to be inflammatory.

Well I don't mean it as an insult it's simply the dictionary definitions of two words that form a new word. I really ment the thread as a joke. It's a;so pretty difficult to make out the crutches so thats why I didn't get that it was two cripples.
 
That title "neocon" makes just about as much sence as does the name of one of our political groups "Progressive Conservatives".

Neocon - The newest people who whine about how good things used to be.
 
A Neo-Con is some new to the Conservative side.
A former Liberal! Remember even Reagan was a Democrat.
By the definitions I've found that I agree with I am not a Neo-con.
I have voted Republican in the
last six Presidential elections.
 
That is a silly name for conservatives....progressive conservatives. It's equally silly for liberals to call themselves progressive. We don't need new names for traditional roles. We need people to stop denying what they are.

As did. They changed their name when they merged with the Alliance (formerly the Reform party), to the New Conservative party.

Yeah...and with an election coming up soon, it ain't getting any easier to follow platforms or parties.
We have:
The New Conservatives
The Liberals
The New Democratic Party
Le Bloc Québéquois
The Green Party

Even when you watch the debates...the only impression that you get is that they're more interested in driving stakes into each other's hearts than actually debating the issues. Feh!

The problem is that they aren't playing traditional roles at all. The Conservative party ain't as conservative as they used to be, the Liberals aren't liberal, and the New Democrats ignore the people regarding several issues. Hence the confusion come vote day.

What would you call a "Liberal" with some conservative ideals?
A DemiLib? A DemiCon? A LibCon? A fence-sitter?

The same thing you'd call a conservative with some liberal ideas. A moderate. :D
