Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Neo-con invasion
She means that they are not oldtime conservatives, such as we knew prior to the 1980's. Oldtime conservatives were fiscally responsible. Neo-Cons are not. Oldtime conservatives did not rush to war when war is inadvisable. Neo-cons do. Oldtime conservatives were loyal to the Constitution of the United States. Neo-Cons regard it as an impediment.

That sort of thing...

Some oldtime conservatives support the neo-cons, because they haven't realized that an insane alternative to "liberalism" is not a good alternative nor is it the only alternative. Some oldtime conservatives do not support the neo-cons, but can't bring themselves to support the Democrats either, which is not surprising! (The Democrats are corrupt.)

Here's one more difference: oldtime conservatives were in favour of creating jobs in America, through American free enterprise. Neo-cons are in favour of moving most of the traditional American jobs to Asia, because a multi-national corporation has no loyalty to any society, only to its own bottom line.

And more: Oldtime conservatives believed in saving money and paying off debts. Neo-cons are in favour of buying on credit and never paying your debts if you can possibly avoid it. Just pass them on to the general public.

And more: Oldtime conservatives believed in the middle class. Neo-cons believe in only 2 classes: the very rich...and the poor. The middle class is now steadily withering away and vanishing under their tenure, as it gradually joins the ranks of the poor.

She's right. They are not conservatives, they are radicals. The Nazis also pretended to be conservatives, but were extreme radicals, and they appealed to the same basic emotions in people as the neo-cons do.
