Neo-Conservative

American conservative group that experienced after Ronald Reagan. Neo-Cons typically beleive in Supply side economics, a free market, and social conservatism. (IE: anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage) It is (as of the writing of this definition) the largest group of republicans, including people such as George W. Bush, Tom Delay, and Dick Cheney.

Other powerful factions of the Republican party are the Evangelical Protestants, and the Libertarians.

I, as a neo-conservative, beleive that abortion is murder and that the tax system is currently unfair.

neo-conservative

A term used chiefly by liberals of the present day to describe conservatives in power. The word has a highly negative connotation due to the fact that it is used by liberals who were badly burned twice in a row in the '00 and '04 elections.

Damn neo cons, they're in power and all I can do is sit and whine!

Neo-conservative

A mix of Conservativism and Classical Liberalism. Internationalist in nature, neo-conservatism is very concerned with political freedom, democracy, human rights, and economic freedom, and believes that these ideas are universally applicable. Pro-American, pro-Israeli, and pro-Taiwanese.

Most prominant neo-conservatives were liberals who came to change their opinion on economics.

Generally identified with the philosophy of Irving and Bill Kristol, Jeane Kirpatrick, Max Boot, Paul Wolfowitz, Natan Sharansky, Charles Krautheimer, James Woolsey, and Bill Bennett.

Possibly the closest to the political philosophy of George W. Bush.

Neo-conservatives love John Stuart Mill

neo-conservative

"A liberal who has been mugged by reality." (Irving Kristol)

The difference between a neo-conservative and a bleeding-heart liberal is: the former gets mugged and actually does something to prevent it from happening again, while the latter is so afraid of being accused of "profiling" that he becomes the victim he thinks his predators are.
