I know you like to pretend there is no such thing just because you get a few different definitions.  but they're not a mythical creature, they actually do exist and they called themselves neoconservatives before the term became unpopular.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism

Even the dictionary has a watered down definition:

Actually I simply pointed out, like I have in the past, that I've read varying definitions of the term "neoconservative."

What's more important, the destruction of the dollar, run away inflation and the collapse of the American empire? Or gay marriage?

I think the issues you mentioned take precedence over an issue like homosexual marriage.  But that's really a question based on a false premise:  that discussion one issue means the exclusion of the others.  That's simply not what happens.  There are extremists who try and censor discussion of issues they don't like, or people who disagree with them, but that doesn't make the issue go away. 

Plenty of people are able to discuss multiple issues.

The irrelevant issue of gay marriage is being discussed to the exclusion of REAL issues like those mentioned above. There is virtually zero mainstream coverage on them.
I hate the State.

Sadly, the average dolt can understand Gay marriage.  

The issues discussed by Schiff and RP are too hard for these morons to comperhend.

That's not true.  Here are links to CNN and Fox.  Do your own comparison.

If you look at what is making the news and what is being discussed, it's hardly being dominated by homosexual marriage (or abortion).
