Turning The Tables

You know, I'm really tired of this "neocon" thing that keeps getting thrown around. It doesn't even make sense! It seems like "neocon" just means "anyone the left disagrees with."

However, look at the Democrats of today. They're not the same Democrats that existed before, and they seem to be slowly but surely heading toward socialism. They call themselves "liberals" while trying to make Americans less free, and they call themselves "progressives" while trying to implement numerous policies that clearly don't work.

So, from now on, instead of using words like "moonbats" or "LLL" or any of the common terms, I will be referring to the crazies on the left as "neolibs." The so-called liberals of today are an insult to true liberals, who now reside on the right side of the political spectrum, and they no longer deserve the title they've given themselves.

(The above post was partially inspired by this piece.)

Neocon originally meant someone who used to be on the left, but whose views shifted to the right. Examples of famous ones include: Irving Kristol, Neil Podhoretz. (and technically Ronald Reagan falls under that category)

The secondary meaning is "Jew"

I know what it originally meant, but now it seems like it's being used to describe people like Bush and Cheney who were never on the left to begin with. I think the neolibs just use it because it has kind of a sinister sound to it.

I like neolibs, but have pretty much decided to call them socialists, especially after Hillary's little remark. Now of course, they like to pretend they're moderates to avoid the ugly "lib" tag and have plenty of help in the media, but what about their agenda isn't socialist?

Check out the following article. (Cut and Paste). http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27816

This little guy sums it up at his ripe old age of 15 (from 2002)...
Before you look at his comments, however, here are mine:Being apparently one of few Kalamazoo, Michigan new teachers around where I live that doesn't buy into the robot trail of Democratic Socialism and blind union support, and being one that isn't afraid to say it, I am asking you all to be proud to be an American, deny Democratic Socialism, and register to vote and hold some individual responsibility as opposed to relying on the government to do it for you. KEEP IN MIND WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE CURSES THE GOVERNMENT, REMEMBER THEY ARE CURSING YOU.THE GOVERNMENT IS MERELY A CHECKS AND BALANCE SYSTEM THAT WE APPLY OUR ACTIONS THROUGH, AND IT IS REALLY STEERED BY US, AS IT SHOULD BE. I hope you vote for Bush, as he is a HERO doing the best he can under the most treacherous of conditions in a high tech world, but also as he is our only hope fighting for our chances for the pursuit of happiness, the rights to freedom and liberty. American citizens- stop suing, stop leeching, get your hands dirty, suck it up and work hard and work honestly. Only these steps will assure hope in America's future. If you are interested in volunteering for fighting for Bush's re-election, contact me at kimcall@yahoo.com, as I am a Bush volunteer;- or look at the website: www.georgewbush.com
Peace to you all- now read the boys article I mention above- great article!
