Well I wouldn't know why anyone would want to be a neocon.  It seems so stupid.

I dunno.  People call me a neo-con because of my foreign policy, which is based off the belief that America has a moral obligation to help spread democracy, so maybe that's the answer.

These polls are ridiculous. I love how oyu try to blast  conservative beliefs,but when we bash liberal beliefs we are going to far.

I'm a Proud Neo-Con. Gotta a problem with it? Well to bad. You guys say I have no life?

I bet ya alot of liberals here sit on welfare all day  and go on the computer and go make fun of conservatives, because they know they can't win a educated debate in Real Life.

I googled that saying and its an old Irving Kristol quote. Reminds me of circa 2003-2004 in the heyday of the neocon movement.

Maybe being a draft dodger made them become neocons. Shocked There have to be as many neocon draft dodgers as there are draft dodging anti-war hippies. Tongue

Seriously, I think it's alarming that so many neocons have evaded military service.

Varies, but from experience it seems to alternate between some sort of crusader mentality and extreme cynicism. Either one is very disturbing, but I find the former more obnoxious. It takes a special kind of hubris and self delusion to think the US is the world's 'moral beacon' interested solely in spreading 'democracy.' At least the latter are honest about believing in might makes right pretty much.
