Comment: Thanks for mentioning the misues of labels

I find labels matter, however I see how ineffective they can be when used by people who don't define terms.

Neocon.

It's the boogeyman around here. I consider it to be the equivalent of the liberty movement as the Red Scare was to McCarthyites. It is also frequently taken out of context. Being pro-life does not make you a neocon as the term isn't defined by your abortion stance.

However, if your paramount principle is that America has the moral high ground and thus we must maintain our military presence around the globe, you might be on the right path.

Words matter. Get to know your labels before you blanket them against everyone who disagrees with you.
