I knew that Big John. As much as you have seen me post here and you just ripped the big juicy worm off Dr.Hooks telescoping rod. I was hoping to get my limit, neocom suckers, -catch and release of course. NOthing fit for consumption in this pond.

I knew of course they used the term like young girls use the F word. They don't know what it means but it sounds cool. Also a brain dead function when the tongue gets tied and the nostrils flare.

[quote=schtyk;7282331]Interesting, although it misses the point that unlike Democrats, conservatives do not recognize race as a motivation for anything. They recognize the excellence of steele not his color. There is a great irony here that evidently few blacks see, i suppose because they have bought the hook line and sinker of the democrat race bait.
The poster is correct though there is no motivation for the Republicans to have chosen Steele because of color.

Response to that: [MOD CUT/language]
Are you serious?
You really think that if Clinton (or McCain even), was the president now that they would have done this?

Neoconservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neoconservatism is a political philosophy that emerged in the United States. Its key distinction is in international affairs, where it espouses an interventionist approach that seeks to defend what neo-conservatives deem as national interests. In addition, unlike traditional conservatives, neoconservatives are comfortable with a minimally-bureaucratic welfare state; and, while generally supportive of free markets, they are willing to interfere for overriding social purposes.[1]

Neo-conservative - SourceWatch
n their book Right-Wing Populism in America, Chip Berlet and Matthew Lyons wrote that:

Neoconservatives, including many Jewish and Catholic intellectuals rooted in Cold War liberalism, clustered around publications such as Public Interest and Commentary and organizations such as the Committee on the Present Danger. They emphasized foreign policy, where they advocated aggressive anticommunism, U.S. global dominance, and international alliances. Although they attacked feminism, gay rights, and multiculturalism, "neocons" often placed less emphasis on social policy issues, and many of them opposed school prayer or a ban on abortion. In addition, many neocons supported limited social welfare programs and nonrestrictive immigration policies."

In the old days we would have just said "Red baiters and anti-Semites".
