re: They are liberal in the sense they want to use the power of the government to effect change. They part with traditional liberals in that they don't really believe in bettering the average persons life.

Agreed. They are really all about foreign policy. I don't think they care about domestic policy a wit.

re: And they definitely are "the ends justifies the means" and "you have to break some eggs to make an omelet" types.

Which, I think, is traditionally more liberal.

re: They aren't really conservatives or liberals.

True. It's like the arguments on this thread... "was Hitler a conservative or a liberal"? He was a unique beast.

And these "new" conservative don't have a clue that they are really liberals."

They are liberal in the sense they want to use the power of the government to effect change. They part with traditional liberals in that they don't really believe in bettering the average persons life. And they definitely are "the ends justifies the means" and "you have to break some eggs to make an omelette" types.

They aren't really conservatives or liberals.


I agree. They are not like any liberals I have ever met. Even the most radical liberals were rarely violent. I can only think of the recent eco terrorists as fitting the bill.

These people are something else.....and in spite of their pushing Americana, they don't feel American at all.
