{Somehow I missed your reply here. I was busy as I was supposed to go to a BBQ but 'things changed' so that's prolly why. Anyway....]

What I was trying to get across to that pinhead name caller was the definition of Neocon that the Daddy of all Neocons, Irving Kristol, came up with himself.

Or to put it another way: Neocons are in their hearts; Still Liberals. And Big Government Liberals at that. The only thing they are 'Neo' (new) at is the 'con' part. And said 'con' part is their 'Neo' (cough-bs) *stance* on Defense. But therein lies the rub.

A Neocon's idea of what should be defended is not necessarily what really is in the best interest of the United States. And if it wasn't for the influence of the Neocons by their powerful Lobbying groups, and through infiltration of the US government - like Doug Feith, it normally wouldn't even make it in the top five things we'd be concerned about as a nation regarding our own security.

That's what I was attempting to get across about 'Neocons'.

An aside: I don''t know when Irving Kristol came up with his 'Neocon' definition (didn't Google it). But iirc historically the first 'Liberal who went con', aka: became a Neocon, was Scoop Jackson. And his 'Neocon' Defense stance was regarding the USSR. So maybe Scoop Jackson is the father of Neocons, not Irving Kristol? [would that make little Billy cry :-)]

Summing up----senior neocons are rank opportunists who squatted in the Repub Party for stealth purposes-----they are actually former Trotskyites that flew the coop when Stalin executed their hero.

The pinkneos blow whichever way the Beltway Winds are blowing-----spewing their elitist Endless War thingy, co-opting whoever's in power.

Perry's sex life is really improving as the pukeneos line up under his desk.....probably had to install a Take-A-Number machine to control the neo traffic. Here's hoping Perry's got the stamina for all the lewinskys coming his way (/snix).
