Sorry...I should have added to that : I'm not a "neo-con" either. I have never seen the term used in any BUT a disparaging way, by bot the far-right and the entire left....to describe mainstream America, which I am a part of.

Mainstream America does not take well to being accused of being that which our families fought against. That is why we take offense.

Well, I'm not sure how you define "neo-con." I always thought that I'm mainstream, and Idon't hold to much of the views of the neo-conservative movement. Am I out of the mainstream now because I don't agree with Richard Perle?

My family fought against a lot of things since we've been here--Purtians, Quakers, Indians, Kings (both British and Spanish), Hessians, Mexican dictators, Federal troops, Germans, Italians, etc. What fights are you talking about in particular?
