There is the issue that a lot of NeoConservatives come from a Lovestonite anti-Stalinist background; they believe it is the duty and right of the US to 'spread democracy' by bombs.

neoconservatism has an article on wikipedia
htt p://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/Neoconservatism
note how military action is supported by them, it is NOT however, the only methodology
lately it's been getting a bad rap because of bush's rhetoric
thing is, a lot of people felt within the neocon camp that bush's methodology was flawed, although his rhetoric is highly similar to the neocon's in reasoning, the methods were as many felt, based on incompetency as opposed to any real sense of understanding

contrary to what a lot of people who claimed to be neoconservatives because they simply felt "bombing the democracy into a country" would be a good idea is... a lot of neoconservatives feel that it is unwise to attempt to do so, rather the idea is to take out specific individuals and organizations that pose a clear danger to the group you are a part of, in this case a nation called america, and to increase affluence in developing countries
-
however, that's only the best way to go about it as far as I'm concerned, or would've been the best way rather
your rhetoric's not very accurate... neoconservatism isn't so much solely about bombing other countries, it's about exportation of western values, through any means really, not simply militaristic means
and it doesn't mean cultural imperialism either, it means a slight imposition in foreign locations so that a comparison in that culture can be made between western and other ideals

speaking as someone who agrees with a lot of neoconservative stuff, iraq is a strategic error, it's stupid because it's ineffective
overseas action is fine, afghanistan is alright
in actuality, a BIGGER occupation would've succeeded, it's because of the military methods, crushing an insurgent movement before it can really start, is the key, but instead they let everyone go wild in the chaos and disbanded the system as corrupt/bad as it was pre-invasion, it was SOMETHING, and then there wasn't

I am a traditional conservative similar to Ron Paul and i want nothing to do with these NeoCon communist pigs.

Let's let Ron Paul speak for himself. Where is your actual video of Ron Paul saying the things that you imply? Being noticeably absent, I would hope that people would take a look at what he does say.
Does walking through a gun shop signify a neocon? GEEZ!

LuckyPierre78, thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it. As English is not my native language and because I am not familiar with the subject, it will take me some time to fully comprehend what you have written. You are obviously very knowledgeable. Thanks.

According to some of their more heated critics, neocons view the world in Manichean terms, guided by the spirit of Leo Strauss. This portrayal isa crude caricature of those who believe that American values are worth defending at home and abroad. That conviction was, in fact, the view of Strauss, himself a largely apolitical professor. He was a firm believer in US democracy, which, he thought, needed to be defended by a well-educated elite. Strauss inspired some early neocons; few read him today.
Of course it's not a neoconservitive position. A lot of neocons are a bunch of ignorant flag waving phonies, that don't have a clue about what is really going on. Thanks for trying to explain it to them, even if most of them won't see your video, because they are to busy getting their propaganda from FOX news.

Interesting perspective, but unfortunately it is the Royal Families, the world leaders that are covertly related to them and the global bankers who want to see America, disarmed, bankrupt and destroyed, especially the middle class. These people are loyal to building an international tyrannical one-world government structure covertly using things like war of terror fear-mongering and climate change paranoia to dupe people into giving away their freedoms for a false sense of security.
