I'm a moderate who does like to play a little bit of devil's advocate in order to promote people justifying their opinions.<br /><br />On the second note, I have to say that it is strange that conservatives like to attack all media as "hating the conservative movement"...<br /><br />There is a multitude of other evidence that shows that George W. Bush's policies were strongly influenced by neo-conservatives. Namely that many of his cabinet and advisors that he listened to post 9/11 were neo-conservatives, and the neo-conservative movement itself claims Bush as one of their own when looking at his policies.<br /><br />From self-described "paleoconservative" Gary North's "An Introduction to Neo-conservatism", the essay talks about the history of neo-conservatism and its emergence during George W. Bush's presidency.<br /><br />Basically it comes down to this: regular conservatism (paleoconservatism) is Reagan: Reactionary. We didn't invade the USSR or attack them, we were just ready in case they attacked us. It's <I>butter and guns</I> meaning diplomacy first, then military if needed.<br /><br />Neo-conservatism is <I>guns and butter</I> meaning military first, diplomacy later. George W. Bush's <I>Bush Doctrine</I> of <I>pre-emption</I>, which is what we did in Iraq. We thought they might attack us and so we invaded.<br /><br />Source:<br />http://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north180.htmlJames' Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575769532441311670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62394895311366879.post-38111687930924471482009-05-03T13:45:00.000-07:002009-05-03T13:45:00.000-07:00James is not a liberal, he is a moderate.

Bush himself was almost textbook towards the end of his presidency. I supported him his first term because he <I>wasn't</I> neo-conservative but just conservative. From wikipedia's "neo-conservative" entry:<br /><I>Neoconservatism is a political philosophy that emerged in the United States. It supports using U.S. power, including military force, to bring democracy and human rights to other countries, seeing this as virtuous or even morally obligatory. In addition, unlike traditional conservatives, neoconservatives are comfortable with a minimally-bureaucratic welfare state; and, while generally supportive of free markets, they are willing to interfere for overriding social purposes.</I>Bush's doctrine of pre-emptive war et al are examples of neo-conservatism. Those that supported, and still support, these policies are neo-cons, in place of conservatives.James' Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575769532441311670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62394895311366879.post-90585374611892013722009-05-02T09:30:00.000-07:002009-05-02T09:30:00.000-07:00He's their fall-back guy when there's nothing else...He's their fall-back guy when there's nothing else that can be said. <br /><br />"Well, uh... ya... but then there was Nixon... ya!!" <br /><br />They don't get the fact that it isn't the "party"... it's the individual.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322267331626121835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-62394895311366879.post-44417043693384477942009-05-02T08:53:00.000-07:002009-05-02T08:53:00.000-07:00Now there another Lib/Con feud over at Progressive...Now there another Lib/Con feud over at Progressive Eruptions..<br />I put the responsibility on the personal actions directly on Shaw.

It is the current administration that is actually putting the brakes on creative research by constantly hinting at government intervention. Nothing can kill innovation in drug discovery like the heavy hand of the US government. They need to butt out and let scientists do their job instead of hanging over their shoulders and trying to regulate everything and anything they do. Obama has only himself and his Marxist tendencies to blame if the US stops producing the world's best medicines.<br /><br />Last point. If ANYONE dies in the United States because of this government's "political" response to a major flu outbreak, there will be hell to pay.
