- right now "neocnservative" redirects to this, will they all go to "neoconservativism" in the end? human be in 18:33, 22 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Needs a doing over
This article isn't very good. It barely describes what a neo-con is. I will take a look at it soon, once I finish that silly MMP article I started. Perhaps someone else might like to help as well. We need something that reflects the notion that this author is saying here (basically that Neocons look for order in society by using religion and other "goals" of a society to give it focus). To me, the more I read about Neocons, the more I understand the policies of Bush and Co.--Damo2353 22:17, 29 July 2008 (EDT)
- Well, it could certainly use a good "positions" thing right after the brief intro. By the way, Bushco are pretty much the manifestation of neocon policy, of course. ħuman cabal 22:30, 29 July 2008 (EDT)
- I can't do anything right now, but this Leo Strauss fella, seems like an interesting philosopher. Almost a mix between the characters in the Republic (Ironically enough) Socrates and Thrasymachus. He seems to be saying that the best way to organize a society is to have the rich and powerful ruling over the poor people and telling them Noble Lies about religion and the necessity to fight wars overseas to "spread democracy". Here is a fascinating interview [1].--Damo2353 22:52, 29 July 2008 (EDT)
