Lew Rockwell is off his rocker, 99.9% of the time. I may not like Alan Keyes, but truth be told, he was never a liberal, hence he isn't a neo-con. Of course, when it comes to the truth, Rockwell is a seriously lost soul.

I used to like Rockwell's lectures on the virtues of limited government. However, I do agree Lew Rockwell's libertarian tirades have gotten old with time. Most offensive of all is his equivocating the US to the Soviet Union as an evil empire, something all anti-war Libertarians and liberals appear to be guilty of doing. Furthermore, Joel Miller is an idiot who regularly campaigns for immorality in the forms of legalized drugs, porn, prostitution, gambling in the traditional Libertarian fashion.

On the other hand, Alan Keyes is a conservative hero. How can you disagree with him? Perhaps because he has been critical of your hero, neoconservative President George W. Bush, the Neville Chamberlain of the Republican Party, who singlehandedly unconditionally surrendered the Republican Congressional majority to his Democrap buddies, McCain, Daschle and Gephardt. I'm sorry, but I will never get over Bush's betrayal of the Republican Party's hard-won Congressional majority. The man is a traitor to his Party, pure and simple. I think all clear-eyed Republican conservatives, who are not blinded by naive and unfounded unconditional loyalty to the President have come to realize that by now.

We agree on Rockwell, but little else.

As for Alan Keyes. You may consider him a conservative hero, but most conservatives, myself included, do not. BTW, I happen to agree with Keyes on some issues. I just don't like him. As for George W.Bush being a neo-con, that's simple not true. At no time in his life, was Bush ever politically associated with liberalism and therefore, can't be labeled a neo-con. And finally, to equate President Bush with Neville Chamberlain, shows a poor understanding of history. You may not support Bush, or even like him, but your convoluted rationale and inflammatory rhetoric, concerning his loyal conservative-republican supporters, has no basis in truth and serves no good purpose.

What convuluted rationale and inflammatory rhetoric concerning his loyal supports are you talking about? Everything I said was absolutely 100% true.

Here's the only thing I said in reference to Bush supporters:

"I think all clear-eyed Republican conservatives, who are not blinded by naive and unfounded unconditional loyalty to the President have come to realize that by now."

So, I ask you again what convuluted rationale and inflamtory rhetoric about Bush supports are you talking about?

Since when is being a former liberal a requirement for being a neocon? Neoconservatism is a philosophy founded by former Democrap party liberals, but most of its ideological adherents are lifelong Republicans. Bush meets all the requirements for being a neocon. He is a committed globalist/internationalist. Economically, he is a New Dealer and supports big government at home and abroad (NAFTA/FTAA/GATT/WTO). He has increased fedgovt spending at a much higher rate than Clinton did when he was President. He championed the far-left Kennedy education bill as his own which federalizes education and increases the education budget by nearly 50% and continues to deprive parents and children of educational choice. Like all other neocons, Bush supports globalist managed "free" trade cabals. He actually supports increasing immigration to the US from the poorer nations of the world and making the INS more friendly to "undocumented worker" and other immigrants favoring the establishment of INS "welcome centers" on the US-Mexican border.

Bush supports 80% of the Clinton third-way liberal agenda on foreign policy, trade, immigration issues and much of Clinton's domestic agenda as well including the neofascist AmeriKorps, federalization of education, big Medicare benefit increases, and much, much more. Nothing conservative about that, is there? So, in calling Bush a neoconservative for the first time, I am being uncharacteristically kind. I usually refer to him as our "conservatively challenged" President, a "center-lefty" or a mushy moderate. "Traitor to the GOP" is the most accurate political descriptor for what Bush has done in eviscerating the GOP by signing Democrap Incumbent Protection legislation earlier this year. Bush signed this Democrap majority ensuring bill against the will of the vast majority of GOP loyalists and elected officials (the most ardent of whom have since filed suit to this unconstitutional legislation) and in contravention of numerous campaign promises to oppose it. His surrender of the GOP's ability to win elections to the Democraps is certainly on par with Chamberlain's appeasement of the Nazis at Munich and it was done for the same purpose in the interests of "peace in our time" with the liberal Democrap partisans with whom conservatives have long since learned there can be no peace.

Furthermore, Joel Miller is an idiot who regularly campaigns for immorality in the forms of legalized drugs, porn, prostitution, gambling in the traditional Libertarian fashion.

Joel Miller is opposed to immorality, including the immorality of state coercion.

On the other hand, Alan Keyes is a conservative hero. How can you disagree with him? Perhaps because he has been critical of your hero, neoconservative President George W. Bush, the Neville Chamberlain of the Republican Party...

Keyes' errors, although they are less, lie in the same direction as Bush's.

Bush, the Neville Chamberlain of the Republican Party, who singlehandedly unconditionally surrendered the Republican Congressional majority to his Democrap buddies, McCain, Daschle and Gephardt.

You're so full of sh!t I can smell it up here in Maine.
