But that has nothing to due with it, to be honest the "neo" label is constantly abused by the left.

It does because the left doesnt apply it to all conservatives. I have never heard a liberal call Pat Buchanan a neo-con.

What does Limbaugh, Elder, and Hitchens have in common? Not much but they are all called Neo-cons because they all want a powerful foreign policy. Get out of foreign issues and Hitchens would find no common ground with Limbaugh or Elder.

Even assuming that is true, it still means there is a distinction. So the labels are justified.

Reagan was a neo-con, when it comes to foreign policy just like Bush JR. He wanted a aggressive foreign policy to stop the evil empire.
|
Reagan also didnt have a huge problem overthrowing democratic governments to install friendly dictatorships...to neo-cons that is anathema. Blasphemy. Neo-cons are aggressively pro-democracy.
Reagan was not a crusader in the way that modern neo-cons are.

Sure I agree but neo paleo doesn't work at that its much more complicated then that.

It is like divinding animals into mammals and reptiles. A lot of reptiles are different from other reptiles, but it is still ok to label them as reptiles, because they have traits that they all share that make them very different from mammals.
And that is why labels are used. When someone is called a neo-con, it tells you something more than the fact that they are just a conservative.

It still means 72% didn't vote for him. Now THAT'S a majority. A fairly large one, too.

A majority did not vote to get rid of him. THATS a majority too.

You said the "majority" wanted him.

If they didnt, they would have voted him out of office.

28% is not a majority of anything no matter you dice it.

In this case it is. I just explained why. See above.
