Good, I'm glad it's scary, because there are plenty of us who want to see corporations castrated.
You conservatives.
Conservatism died with Barry Goldwater. Those you consider ''conservatives' today, including Reagan, both Bushes, their advisors and promoters, Kristol, Limbaugh, Hannity, et alia., are all 'neoconservatives'. They've hijacked the word because it serves to unite and polarize well meaning folks like you against the scarecrow of 'liberalism' as the root of all evil.
Neoconservatism is opposite conservatism particularly with regard to:
Taxes and spending- Neoconservatives promote 'tax cuts' but only for the already wealthy. At the same time, they transfer this tax burden to the working middle class in the form of increased Social Security taxes (as did Reagan), and shifting of other corporate expenses. This amounts to a transfer of wealth in the trillions of dollars from us to them and the eventual destruction of the middle class.
Neoconservatives are statists who support big, intrusive, expensive central government (not unlike the Kremlin of the former USSR). They have no problem borrowing unlimited amounts of money (stealing from future generations) in support of this goal.
Expansionist Imperialism- Neoconservatives maintain a sort of 'manifest destiny' worldview of dominance and will not hesitate to use the U.S. military to enforce same.
There are other differences, but those are the most glaring.
