Neo Conservatism - Good for the world or lunacy?

[lg325]

I disagree with the guests opinions on the subject. I would like to get opinions of the members here on the political philosophy of neo- conservatism and what the U.S.A. or any democratic nations role in the world should be.
The days of neutrality and isolationism are long past ,for any freedom loving nation to survive it needs alliances and involvement in world affairs. To protect democracy all freedom loving nations need to be global police to fight totalitarianism in all its forms. That means Diplomacy, military, clandestine and promoting the freedoms stated in the United States Constitution.

I'm a populist.
That's why Republicans are tied with democrats regarding the question "which party cares more for people like me".

Conservative typically gave lip service to conservative policies.

A collection of the worst, most twisted power seekers in history. They are only truly happy when people, not them of course, are violently dying.

Neoconservatism is a political ideology that combines features of traditional conservatism with political individualism and a qualified endorsement of free markets. Historically, it refers to Americans who moved from the anti-Stalinist left to conservatism during the 1960s and 1970s. The movement emerged as a reaction to the political and cultural trends of the time, including leftist radicalism and lack of respect for authority and tradition. Neoconservatism is characterized by its promotion of democracy abroad and embrace of military intervention.

Condoleezza Rice, George W, Bush are two who are described as Neo -Conservative.
