I know that wasn't addressed to me, but people on the right side of the political spectrum are generally called Conservatives or ‘people who are resistant to change’ by definition. In other words, change is bad. Change is bad because it forces everyone to adapt to things like new taxes, new presidents and new spicy chicken sandwiches at Chik-Fil-A. Republicans know that we are all better off without these inconveniences and our nation would be more prosperous without modern advances in technology and culture.

The Conservative movement was established in 1819 by Francois Rene de Chateaubriand, a humble farmer from central Georgia. Republicans unanimously agree that life would be easier if things were the same as they were in 1819. People wouldn’t have to worry about electricity bills, black presidents, AIDS or children. Additionally, women would not be allowed to vote and the state of California would be non-existent. Republicans enjoy taking part in re-enactments of historic events as a way to reject America’s progression and eat boiled weasel.

'Endless war' is not a plank of the neoconservative agenda. However, exporting democracy and 'American values' though warfare is. Are you really gonna say you oppose those measures?

Regarding welfare, the neocons are not socialists - they, after all, give 'two cheers' for capitalism. But they, of course, oppose laissez-faire. You, likewise, marginally support capitalism but you do not support unfettered trade or markets. And do you really oppse the Welfare State, root and branch, or just minor aspects of it?
 
I don't use it because I know what it means and no one in here fits the definition.
You use it because idiots started tossing it around thinking it meant what you said it meant and you believe that's the meaning.

Makes it all the more hilarious hearing you and others calling people neo-cons.
 
So then, do you support pulling the troops out of Iraq now? If Saddam was such a threat, then fine, but we got rid of him 7 years ago. We have been and are now attempting to establish a democracy in Iraq. You say you oppose exporting democracy - so do you advocate the immediate withdrawal of troops?
 
I don't believe in going to war to export democracy and 'American values'.

I really do oppose the Welfare State, in its entity.
 
I understand what you are you saying but I reject both the idea of the welfare state and endless war which are the major tenets of neoconservatives.

We do have ourselves a bunch of neocommunists on this board, in fact some have even posted in this thread
 
This isn't necessarily true. Change in line with our founding principles isn't bad. It's the change, under the disguise of "progressivism" which is just another name for liberalism, which tends to take us away from our founding principles, is bad. It's not that we don't want progress, we just want the right kind.
 
Surprisingly, I talk more about "the forgotten amendment" than the 2nd Amendment. That of course being the 10th Amendment.
