No, you failed on so many levels.Now you are degenerating into irrationality (at best) or dishonesty (at worst). Oh well. I tried.
Gaullism was recognized as political/econ set of beliefs adopted by Konrad Adenauer & Gerhard Schröder in Germany, so this WEIRD idea you have that political ideologies are bound by geography again falls on it's face.
It is just stupid to hold to this position, but there you are.

It is a falsehood to claim that Konrad Adenauer was a Gaullist. Even your own link does not claim Schroder was a Gaullist.
Let me see...um..... cognitive dissonance? Yes, definitely.The most notable Gaullist was chancellor Konrad Adenauer, an outstanding Atlantiker his minister of foreign affairs, Gerhard Schröder. A typical Atlantiker was Protestant and believed in free market economy, a typical Gaullist was Catholic and tended toward Rhine capitalism with its more regulated markets and state intervention.

Bottom line: "Neoconservatism" has no meaning outside the U.S. political context, and "Gaullism" has no meaning outside the French political context. Both words can be (and have been) appropriated for other purposes outside the U.S. and France, but those uses are more properly understood as misuses, their transitory utility notwithstanding.
The decision was made public long before the Boston massacre, which had absolutely nothing to do with it.
You win, hands down.

No, it means you seem to be too lazy to go back and review where I stated previously what I believe the differences are in the ideologies.Is that another euphemism for, 'abandonment, 'retreat', or 'withdraw'?
It has no meaning to you. Repeating over and over that an ideology is bound by genetics or geography renders it utterly useless for you. I have seen people unknowingly destroy their own argument, but to deliberately do so is very strange.Bottom line: "Neoconservatism" has no meaning outside the U.S. political context, and "Gaullism" has no meaning outside the French political context.
