Also called neo-con, this political philosophy is a combination of liberal and traditional conservative views.
On domestic issues, Neocons say they are for limited government, free market solutions and things like that. However, when non-interventionist tactics do not yield the result they want, they have no qualms about using government power to garner the desired result.
For foreign policy issues, they tend to refrain from using diplomacy. Neocons tend to participate in nation-building in the attempt to set up desired governments in other countries. They claim to support liberal democracies and human rights abroad but generally are more than willing to abandon this goal if it won't create the desired effect. Neocons usually want to use massive military force to solve most international issues despite the fact that very few of them have ever served.
Neocons see the world in binary, good vs evil and us vs them, terms. They are generally upper middle and upper class white people with college educations (ie the stereotypical WASP) but there is also a strong neocon segment among poor whites with little education (ie the stereotypical redneck). Tending to be socially conservative, they often belong to evangelical Protestant Christian churches and claim to have strong moral values. They love the status-quo.

Neoconservative people primarily belong to conservative groups and parties such as the GOP and NRA. This leads to power struggles in these groups as tradition conservatives, paleoconservative and conservative libertarians (all sharing similar values) fight the neocons for control and to be the face of the group.

Get the Netionalism mug.Short for Neo-Conservative. They are in fact not conservative at all. They are in reality an opportunistic clicque educated at top colleges who rose up to be White House advisors and Washington spivs when they sensed the tide was shifting with Ronald Reagans rise to power.
They never serve in the military but want hicks to fight battles in foreign lands in order to protect globalism, or "American Interests." They rarely work for manufacturers or any product-oriented business, but rather network between law firms and public relations offices when they are not actually in Plum jobs.
Their favorite magazine is Rupert Murdoch's Weekly Standard, they hate Chronicles Magazine, the John Birch Society, the Rockford Institute and any other group that is Mid-West based and which exposes their nefarious activities.

Get the neocon mug.Neoconservative. Criminally insane spenders that believe in killing brown people for the new world order. Huge Orwellian government, unfathomable amounts of spending, bomb tens of thousands of people to death to rearrange the globe. Take the worst aspects of the liberal and conservative positions and combine them into one and you would have a NeoCon.
