Ronald Reagan would classify as a neo, but he wasn't nearly conservative enough, was he? Its always so nice to get a forearm shiv from the bunch that does its best to turn everyone away from conservatism because it isn't "conservative enough". Keep beating your chest.

THANK YOU! I forgot to mention Reagan in my previous post.

It's like this. Man is imperfect, and by extension, any philosophy that the imperfect man creates is by definition imperfect.

Therefore, I will subscribe to no man's dogma. But these types who say that they are the true conservatives are just as dogmatic and rigid in their mindset as the dyed-in-the-wool Leftists are in theirs.

I reject such rigidity of thought out of hand.

If I escaped the mental plantation of the RATS, what makes anyone think that I'm going to enslave my mind yet again to another ideology?

I don't think so. I'm a free-thinker who views issues through the lenses of free (fair) trade, deregulation, tremendously less taxation, overwhelmingly strong defense, and liberty. How to attain these are up for debate to me, but apparently not for others. To them, it's their way or the highway.

Be happy to. Explain why (again) to me that we have to support the Shrub because he is "our guy" in spite of signing the "Patriot" Act, the Farm Bill; CFR; and he will sign the Prescription Drugs for Seniors??? If W. is not a neo-con, then what is?

Use Crayola this time. Just to make sure I get the point why it is not ok to criticize folks for "not being conservative enough." < /sarcasm>
