>>Little Hawk, you make my case--liberals often use Neo-Conservatism as a pejoritive. Thank you.

For one thing, people calling themselves Neocon have done some very bad things. Even if Pax Americana is a good thing in your eyes. To many of us it is the vending of America's soul for the illusion of peace and for empire. Even if it were to bring about all that Bill Kristol and Cheney and Wolfowitz and Feith promise. The cost is way too high.

Te Neocons are a very specific group doing nasty things. What would you have us do? Try to be politically correct and not offend them? Do I detect some liberalism in your point of view?

On the other hand "liberal" is a broad term with a grand history and some wonderful leaders as its paragon, including Eisenhower. Self identified "conservatives", not you that I remember, use that word as a pejorative pretty much every day.
