The problem with all those reactionary Neo-Conservatives
Edited on Mon Oct-11-04 08:21 AM by ck4829
What are we in, the 6th century or something?

Let's look at what they think and want.
1. Religion has a role in life, whether it's in the schools or the courts.
2. Bush has a link to God, according to some Neo-Conservatives
3. Abortion made illegal
4. The teaching of creationism in schools, or intelligent design (backdoor creationism)
5. Very Stem Cell Research
6. The definition of marriage in the constitution

Let's all just go back to the days where 10% of your taxes had to go to the Church (and the Church was also feared and attendance was mandatory), women were property instead of people, no more medicine we would just bleed the bad humors out, and marriage was between a man and a woman... of the same color.
(Extreme Sarcasm Alert)

A Barbarian with a Cluster Bomb, Smart Bomb, or Hydrogen Bomb is still a Barbarian.

1. you're mixing up apples and maggots
listen. there is a god, there is 'right and wrong' there is mystery no one can even attempt to explain...into this comes the bush phenomena, and it is the result of plotting by reactionary rightwing racist neocon nazipoos; who use the name of god to distract from themselves....who use typical schoolyard bully tactics and get away with it cuz of the mediawhores' hard work. All governments (even a biker gang is 'governed' by its leaders) are motivated by their beliefs etc....let's not confuse the battle against a proven WRONG ie gee bushinc with philosophical issues like definition of marriage or the rights of unborn, guns and petunias etc.

2. This is more the Christian Conservatives
Neo Conservatives agree with some of these proposals and disagree with others; their chief message is that the United States should interfere in the middle east to make it all be democratic, and incidently to protect Israel.

They are distinct movements; I don't agree with either one, but this is a little like taking the Green Party platform and ascribing it to the Democratic Leadership Council (as Rush Limbaugh often does). While both are, technically, liberal, they are pretty different movements/organizations.
