There seems to be some confusion as to what a conservative is. Let me offer a litmus test. There may be some few exceptions which someone may point out or suggest another litmus test.

--A Republican is for tax cuts first and never criticizes Bush. Lott is a Republican.
--A Neo-Con is for Israel first and never criticizes Sharon. Kristol is a neo-con.
--A Conservative is for America first and criticizes both Bush and Sharon. Buchanan is a conservative.

Well, I'm a pro life, pro gun freedom loving American and although I am a Catholic I was taught in NY that turning the other cheek just gets you a black eye on that side too. You can classify me however you'd like. Actually, I find all these classifications both a bit amusing and confusing.

I'd say you got that about right.

Sorry buddy,.. but we are not "Neo-Cons" and I think that word is extremely offensive. It equates people who are conservatives to Nazi's.. period!! I would argue that it is people like you, who would silence free speach..and since you are one of the 1% that believe in Buchannans positions, perhaps you need to check out your own political ideologies and mental stability?

Pat Buchannan is a loose cannon. Pure and simple. The thoughts of him in ANY kind of leadership position is a frightening thought. We used to respect the man,.. but then we started to hear him talk more and more. And well, ... we were cognitive enough to realize the man is has a few lose screws.

Unless NEO means "Never Engage Ostriches" in meaningful dialogue.. it is a ridiculous label, and an offensive one.
