Nonsense. Neoconservativism is an ideology US president is an adherent.

We need more guys with common sense in governments, and fewer guys who will sacrifice lives and resources because God/Lenin/Little Bird told them to.

you're a fool if you believe this.

Well Vetlegion, I would ask you to define what you think of as 'neoconservatism' in terms of political 'beliefs'. How does one contrast neoconservatism with competing ideologies?

You need a picture Che. People don't vote for candidates they have never seen.

Also, what do you think of the common criticism that Marxism is Christian eschatology in disguise ?

Neoconservativism was born of disappointment with leftism by hardline leftists. People who are its creators are smart and well grounded in political theory. As such, they hold an array of nuanced positions I am not well qualified to elaborate on (nor do I claim acquaintance with all of them). You can find details on the internets.

US president is not a theoretician of high calibre but he is an adherent of neoconservative ideas, which have been the justification for much of his foreign policy.

Would you say invasion of Iraq was a common sense thing to do at the time or driven by ideology? I think the latter. Sorry for the threadjack Che, this is my last post in this thread.

You need more people friendly policies. Take a hint from that chick in California, who promised free boob jobs.

As far as I understand it, neoconservatism is more of a foriegn policy ideology, born from former Trotskyists who became disillusioned. The basic jist is to spread Western style democracy around the world, and by force if necessary. It is, basically, a more aggressive Truman Doctrine.

More of a rehash of Wilson dressed up in more conservative rhetoric.

I think the term has morphed over time. Originally was primarily an anti-communist stance, particularly for reformed liberals. What is now called neoconservatism seems to come from different people and roots and is really more a trial policy within the unipolar world.
