(46,700 posts)Actually, this early in the morning it would be easier to give examples:
1) A neo-liberal is a Democrat who blindly supports the pro-Israel agenda (as envisioned by its warhawks, like Neti) and would jump to commit troops for that endeavor without much debate.
2) A neo-liberal is a Democrat who believes that government process can be skirted if there is a good cause behind the effort. Unfortunately, they just have a better cover-story or selling points to provide the public, than Republicans do. This is what makes Thirdwayers so dangerous. Since they are designed to "find common ground" and compromise with Republicans, who have absolutely no use for government process, the end result is usually government running amok. Someone's rights will inevitably be harmed.
In the end, they are no different than Republicans when it comes to lavishing large sums of public money to their campaign donors. A good example is public works projects. They will sell the benefits of the revitalizations efforts, when behind the scenes they make sure the construction money gets in the right hands. It's a deplorable thing to see, especially when you have government attorneys believing they are community activists and sitting in on public meetings where they allow the train wrecks to go on without interfering with their course.
