neoconservatism, as I understand it, is totally a matter of foreign policy approaches. Some neocons lean toward New Deal liberalism on domestic issues, I'm told. The neocon foreign policy approach seems a matter of "the US is the world hegemon, so let's impose our values on the world" (though this hasn't worked in practice). -- Jim Devine / "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." ***********************************************
It started that way and remains so to a great extent, but one can see glimmers of neo-fascist domestic policy. Islamophobia partly with reference to the French eruptions starts to morph into animus towards immigrants who "won't assimilate" and multiculturalism. This dovetails with the long-standing neo-con problems on race. As well, political loyalty to Bushismo and an interest in catering to Bush's nativist base leads any domestic liberal/neo-con to downplay any differences. http://maxspeak.org/mt/archives/003091.html http://maxspeak.org/mt/archives/002212.html
