You, too.

Thanx.

Any others while we are at it? May as well go ahead and get it out of the way with now.

There really isn't much in common between paleo cons and neo cons. Conservatism is indeed a rather muddled concept. In practice in the public square of practical politics, it is about a bit less government, and bit more reliance on market forces, a bit more tolerance for religion in the public square, a bit more of a daddy rather than a mommy state preference, a bit more of an interest in a robust military, and a bit less redistribution, than modern liberalism. It is about rather marginal differences around an essential centrism. Moving out beyond that, and it is bit chaotic out there, just like Free Republic.
