There has been so much talk about neo-cons. You know the new Conservatives who will do anything to support Israel and force a new order in the mid-east. Come on, you know, Wolfowitz, Perlman, et al.

But what of neo-Liberals. What are they you ask? Progressives, you know, the new type of Marxist. You see them on the tube whenever the World Trade Organization is meeting. You see them whenever Bush or Rumsfeld speak. They will never cross over and agree with conservatives no matter what. If they agree with neo-cans they form a new opinion farther to the left. You know the type, they believe that we were at fault for being attacked on 9/11. They believe that Osama was a guy who built roads and daycare centers (for what daycare centers would be needed when women can't leave their houses without a close male relative is beyond me). They believe even though Saddam did gas the Kurds and pummeled the Shiites, we still had no business toppling him, and were horrified that we not only offed his treacherous offspring but showed their bodies. They're the ones who protest in support of the cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal and the death penalty, yet never showed their faces when an abortion doctors murderer was put to death.

As I said in a previous post, they are not Kennedy (Edward maybe, but not John), who lowered taxes to boost the economy, and stood up to the Soviets. They are not Truman, who dropped a nuclear (nucular if your a Bush) on an enemy to save American lives. No, neo-libs are spineless. They believe that even if attacked, response is not just wrong but reprehensible. They believe that the Israelis are as bad as the Palestinian genocide bombers. They believe that globalism and genetically modified foods, which will only serve to pull the impoverished up to a higher standard, are evil (no, not evil, Bush uses that word and it's so simplisme, so black and white).

I won't go as far as saying they are anti-American, however I will say that they believe that the UN should have a greater say in the lives of Americans than the comnstitutional government, and that my friends, is unforgivable.

Some old time Libs get it. Hitchens to a degree is one. I hope that others,as I said with Saletan in an earlier post, eventually get it.
