A Brief Comment -
adjective: neoconservative;
adjective: neo-conservative
- 1.“relating to or denoting a return to a modified form of a traditional viewpoint, in particular a political ideology characterized by an emphasis on free-market capitalism and an interventionist foreign policy.”
Not
modified, reversed.
No
one has seen a single example of a real free-market in decades. A
real free-market cannot exist where it is controlled by government.
Did you think, perhaps, the petroleum industry is an example of a
free-market? Hardly, it is crony capitalism or geriatric
mercantilism.
Another
real Conservative said, “While
I am a great believer in the free enterprise system and all that it
entails, I am an even
stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and
pollution-free environment.”
~Barry
Goldwater
And
Conservatives, traditionally, were accused of being isolationists
because of their opposition to war. Taft, the most prominent
Conservative before WWII, resisted voting for war and was attacked
for his stance by everyone.
