Neocon? Does that mean neo-Conservative? Isn't that an oxymoron...?


...and Skunky's walkin' the picket line...

Well, if it ain't an oxymoron, it must be a poor example of antithesis. I thought that all neocons were charletons.

Neo = new.......Con = fraud or fraudster or old lag/jailbird.

So, this term may be interpreted as a new convert to an old confidence trick who ends up in jail ! Are most Republicans neocons ?

Sir!!! Republicans are members of the Grand Old Party...not NeoCons...!! (shut up, Duke...!)

I've only seen episodes the last three episodes, but I love it. The sound effect dubbing is spot on, and the personal stories are great.

No on both counts. Labels are just stereo types, and in my experience the liberal banner is spread far and wide and depends on the person applying it. Same the other-way round.

Again this is just my impression but the neo-con's can be limited down to the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz type ideologues that have gained influence under the present administration. Unfortunately that seem to be trying to take the Grand Old Party down with them.
