What big government solutions? Neocons are the ones who came up with every good idea for the past decade: privatization of Social Security, tax cuts, school vouchers, privitization of government services when logical, free trade, funding of science and technology research, the broken windows theory of crime fighting. All of them are neocon ideas. It is the paleocons who have their heads in the sand trying advocating "big government solutions" like protectionism, and disincentives to globalization. Thomas Fleming said himself that he agreed with the leftists and Seattle protestors about globalization, McDonalds and the modern world. Listen if I had a time machine I'd send these people to the 19th century which is what most of them seem to be pining for.

These things get more talk-talk than implementation .. not unlike the bones that the other party throws to their salivating constituencies from the political stump. Meantime government grows and grows.

More importantly, foreign adventure dreams grow even more monstrously. We have departed in a relatively short time from Ronald Reagan's shining city on a hill to the imposition of "our values" at the point of a bayonet.
