AlsThat's the most absurd thing I've heard you say in this thread, today. They can't be polar if they share commonalities? Is that merely in theory, or in practice as well? If Reagan wasn't a conservative, who was? What then was FDR? You need to think before you post, b/c you don't know nearly as much as you'd like to pretend....

Who said liberals and conservatives are polar opposites?

Wrong. Read some Metternich, or maybe even some Cortes. Conservatism in the 18th and 19th Centuries was divided into various camps. Before what had been called the "great reversal," conservatives espoused "aristocratic internationalism," and interventionism. Later, Cortes saw the battle lines between Catholocism and early Socialism (he thought liberalism would be the first to go). Catholocism and socialism were both interventionist doctrines that transcended national boundaries.

Neoconservatives aren't only characterized by interventionalism. Those were not neocons.
