Well, I did do a search on neocon, and the Urban dictionary rates the highest recommended definition as:

The term "NeoConservative" dates back to the early 60s to mean a branch of radical Conservatives who goes beyond the traditional reactionary stance.

Today the term means radical rightwing supporters who supports the supression of freedom of speech although they support racism; who supports nation building abroad although they hate making the US a better place; who supports the "liberation" of Iraqis although they support racist profiling as well lock ups of Arab immigrants in the US; who supports Corporate welfare although they hate the welfare system; who support the rich in general, although most of them are in the middle/lower class; who support the war, knowing how much it will cost, although they are against taxes.

see hypocrisy
see cognitive dissonance
see ignorance

NeoCons are making America look bad.


Surely, this definition is much harsher than mine. :)
