A Pig by Any Other Name
Interesting, those that are called "neo-conservatives" in American political thought/journalism are called "neo-liberals" in Europe and South American political discourse. Once I discovered that, lots of things made more sense.
In either place, by either nomiker, they are considered a shifty and self-serving lot who dish out pseudo-intellectual bullcrap, but it all seems to start with the premise that we should never appease Hitler.
And all enemies are by default, Hitler. All good guys are Winston Churchill (Never FDR, cause he was, in fact, a dirty communist) and all domestic political opponents are either "communists" or "dead end marxists" (in Europe), or just plain old "liberals" (in the US, or known as ""libruls" by the dumbed down media shills who ply their trade for the neo-cons). All domestic opponents are inevitably Neville Chamberlain. In other words, they're fighting a war that ended well over fifty years ago and won't let it die.
For more interesting elucidation on these matters, do listen to this.
