Neo-Con meaning neo-confederate movement.

Neo-confederate movement meaning-

"The neo-confederate movement is a political and cultural movement based in 
the U.S. Southern states that is characterized by celebration of the history 
of the Confederate States of America (CSA) and support for the CSA's aims. 
Neo-confederate issues include states rights, such as nullification (in 
which state laws override federal laws), a "pro-confederate" view of 
history, particularly regarding the American Civil War, and support for 
traditional culture, including Christianity. Some groups in the movement 
support outright secession, while others focus on preserving heritage. The 
term "neo-confederate" can be considered a pejorative political epithet and 
its application to specific groups and individuals has caused controversy.

The largest secessionist neo-confederate group is the League of the South 
(LS). It claims to seek the "well-being and independence of the Southern 
people." [1] A number of small political parties also call for secession, 
including the Southern Party and its offshoot, the Southern Independence 
Party.

The term is controversial when applied to groups and individuals that do not 
call for secession but are otherwise "pro-confederate" or alleged to be so. 
For example, the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and the Sons of 
Confederate Veterans (SCV), both long-standing Civil War genealogical 
associations, have both been called "neo-confederate" by some critics 
although neither group advocates secession."

Sorry for the confusion.  Pay attention to past, present, and future posts 
and you will see neo-con used as neoconfederate.

Revolution is not a word but an application; it is not war but peace; it 
does not weaken, but strengthens. Revolution does not cause separation; it 
generates togetherness.
