To All Republicans, Neo-Conservatives, Neo-Liberals, and Libertarians
Edited on Sun May-02-04 02:27 AM by The Lone Liberal
Fuck you, you traitorous bastards and fuck the horse your rode in on! You fucked my country, you fucked my fellow citizens, and most importantly you fucked me you slimy pieces of shit! You sold out my country , my future and my fellow-man out for a few pieces of silver, you Judas bastards. If there is hell may you spend eternity roasting your sorry asses for what you have done. You stupid jackasses couldn’t see the truth because you were too damn greedy and afraid some poor person would be able to feed their kids, so you gave it all to the rich shit that would give you the sweat off their balls. You allow them to hoodwink you into to thinking that because someone read a book they were the elite. Hell, stupid the elite live behind gated communities and belong to country clubs that you can only see from the highway. They told you to worry about gun control, while the only they were going to do was to shift taxes to your sorry ass. They told you to get all hot and bothered about abortion while all they were going to do was make sure their kids didn't pay any taxes while yours were in hock up to their eyeballs. You stupid pieces of dog excrement. I hope your kids kick your sorry asses when they find out you gave away their future.

6. Basically a neo-con with a D after his/her name instead of an R
Just a kinder, gentler neo-con but neo nonetheless. All working towards the Neo/New World Order.

Wars, occupation, Likud agenda, corporate globalization...

Btw, many of the biggest PNAC neo-cons right now were Liberals in the past.

Should make you shiver.

14. Basically a DINO.
Democrat In Name Only. Also called "Republican Lite". I am convinced these DLC types are really Republican operatives sent in to neutralize and destroy the Democratic Party.

9. I'd like to take that term Neo-Liberal
and use it as a name for a new and somewhat reactionary breed of Liberal who lives to counter the Neo-Conservative advance.

19. "Neo-liberals" aren't always DINO's, and DINO's aren't always "neo-libs"
Edited on Sun May-02-04 08:36 AM by drumwolf
A "neo-liberal" is someone who supports "classical liberal" economic policies, namely free trade. That's the old definition of "liberal" -- you know, "liberal" = "free" = "laissez-faire/free markets" -- and even today that definition is still often used in the context of an economic discussion.

They aren't "liberals" in the current popular definition of the word, although a lot of them ARE socially liberal. Being a "neo-liberal" has zero to do with party affiliation and is not the same as being a DINO. They can be of either party.

20. It Started With Scoop Jackson
These were the relics of the cold-war Democrats. Heavy on defense with little to no social agenda. The "guru" for these people was the late Sen. Henry Jackson. IIRC, Wolfowitz and Perle started out working for Jackson. When you hear PNAC'ers say "I was once a Democrat..." this is the type they were.

They got blown out of the party in the early 80's...(and the DLC helped!)

This is also the Pro Israel Democrats who grew up in heavily Democratic families yet were very Conservative...they were in a political limbo in a Democratic party moving more toward social issues and internationalism, thus went running to the Heritage foundation and then infested the GOOP.

4. And, by the way, who got those pieces of silver?
It ain't me, man, it ain't me... I ain't no senator's son... it ain't me, man, it ain't me... I ain't no fortunate one...

5. Would Kerry be considered a neoliberal?
He still supports NAFTa.

Well maybe if we put enough pressure on him...

8. NAFTA
Y'know, NAFTA doesn't have to be totally scrapped, just rewritten... to restore all the original environmental & worker/wage protections that were supposed to be included.

15. But how do you REALLY feel?
Well said, really.

They told you to worry about gun control, while the only they were going to do was to shift taxes to your sorry ass. They told you to get all hot and bothered about abortion while all they were going to do was make sure their kids didn't pay any taxes while yours were in hock up to their eyeballs. You stupid pieces of dog excrement. I hope your kids kick your sorry asses when they find out you gave away their future.

I have tried to express those very sentiments to a group of free marketing, non-wealthy, Bush-worshipping dittoheads on a mixed political forum. I had no luck. You've said it so well, though.

18. glad to see I'm not the only one having a fit this morning!
I had to go on BP medicine within six months of Bush stealing the election. I've been fucking mad for 3 1/2 years! It's really sad, but my husband and kids flee the room if they see me watching the talking heads on TV, because they know that I WILL be throwing things. WAKE UP AMERICA! I don't know who makes me madder the people you listed or the MINDLESS minions who believe everything their government tells them!

21. I was not articulate enough in that rant to get across that it is
the followers at which I am most upset.
