Reply #4: the GOP and perhaps the neocons were responsible for making [View All]

Liberal a bad word. You throw that in their faces the moment they start squealing about vocab. Just say:"you guys made liberal a bad word.. and that is my word - what is this about me not using the word neocon if it works".

The neocons themselves did not want to be called anything. They keep playing the race card to keep from being identified. Really they would like to remain nameless and just rule the world and get credit when things go their way and blame Turkey or France when their Utopian plans go awry.

Really - get out a political science text and see how the words are defined. I think neo-liberal is the scientific word for neocon.

And just remind them, that if they want to be rule makers.. setting up one set of rules for you to follow and living by another set themselves (they ruined the world liberal that did not even belong to them) that BTK was a rule maker that didn't follow the rules (he enforced zoning & lawn bylaws in an exacting fashion all day long while he had already murdered a few families). That One set of rules for them and demanding their opposition follow another set.. well that is what sociopaths do. So point out their hypocrisy. The will also try and get you to believe 20th Century fascism had nothing to do with the right wing (they claim fascism is right wing). That is bullshit too. Overwhelmingly, the communists were totalitarians Utopians and the right wing were the fascists (Germany, South America).

But in these awful times when they will try and dance you outside of yourself. So good to go to the library and read the chapter in a textbook on the definition of Liberal vs. Neocon Vs. Conservative. You cannot trust the internet to give you clear answers. Look for a book on world politics since world politics label things a little different (and more consistent) than American political books do.

Keep in mind that with the exception of Cuba today, we are all mixed market economies and Liberal Democracies in the West. So even the Republicans are a Liberal democracy party. Liberal means open to trade. And everyone in the world is these days.
