    do you think you can get a legitamate thought out, fact based opinion from progressive humanist? god I hope not.

    but to answer your question and what makes his ideas so funny is that the true definition of Neocon are former democrats that are new to conservativism and come from a socialist background. Its probably the downfall of true conservativism.

    Neo cons embrace the economic free market as the best means of distribution of goods and services.

    They believe that isolationism is bad, and leads to greater scale global damage.

    They beleive that government exists to enable people to succeed on their own.

    The believe the law is the law is the law, and should not be a "living thing".
