neocons are socialists who have taken over the republican party. ... not that it matters too much to me... for today practically everyone believes in (some kind of) 'social shit'... maybe that's the way it's always been... the main debate on a thread like this is not whether people should actually be left to their own devices - for most everyone (including the neocons) agree that such would be 'evil' - but rather the arguments are about which way the people need to be regulated, coerced, and 'pushed around'... i'll leave it up to you to figure out which posters are advocating what regulations, and by the same token, 'allowing' whatever freedoms they might in their seemingly infinite 'social wisdom'... and no matter what the viewpoint... 'neocon,' 'left-wing,' whatever... they all have their programs they want to get passed over everyone else... and regardless of 'viewpoint' they all know the just the exact amount of taxation and such that is necessary for the 'perfect society'... but the bottom line is, when you decide what kind of government to have, you're basically deciding how many people you're going to push and shove around, and the excuses you're going to make for that... so to sum it up in just a few words... 'the sheep must be fleeced'... so perhaps that is 'straussian' enough that i too could be considered a sort of neocon
