Is Tony B. a Neo-con too... Is anyone who disagrees with you simply a
Neo-con.

Also please tell me why is a Neo-con a bad thing....


You seem rather defensive about it.


No just asked a question, I have always been a traditional conservative....
I just wanted to know why folks felt the
NeoCons are this OH so terrible group as opposed to other political
groups... I was hoping for an honest explanation
why they were any worse then your run of the mill West Coast liberal... It
seems to me Neocons use government for their
causes (some i find wrong and distasteful) and liberals use government for
there causes (most that are wrong and distasteful)

Personally I prefer we would shrink government and get it out of people
lives and allow the people, to do their own work.
I do realize some regualtion and centrial goverment is needed sure... But
I don't beleive in the socialist "Big Papa" concept at all
and trully beleive that state/local goverment is the way to go for these
type issues... They are much more accountable to the people.


Had never heard of Neocons until this Iraq thing blew up. Neocons
apprear to be an interesting bunch - if only for their rapid rise to
prominence in US Republican politics. Also interesting is their
relationship with an organisation called the AEI (American Enterprise
Institute)
There have been documentaries in Oz (a tv show called 4 Corners) and
in the UK on the BBC describing the 'agenda(s)' of Neocons and AEI,
and without setting the moggie amongst the pidgeons... Israel appears
to have a lot to do with it (ACCORDING TO THE TV SHOWS! ...not my
interpretation) However, I doubt hat such documentaries would make it
onto mainstream US TV dunno about PBS though.
