Neo: New; recent: Neolithic; new and different; new world.
Conservative: One favoring traditional views and values; a supporter of political conservatism.

We have all heard the press go on and on about the neo-conservatives (neocon) in this country. It is one of the buzz words we as Americans love to use when it comes to politics. Matter of fact we just love to label people, makes it easier to put them in a box. You know the labels rich, poor, old, young, punk, liberal, conservative, dickhead, square, motor head, geek, pompous fuck, loser, know it all, miss-speller and so on. Neocon is just a better way of saying war monger. That might be a little over the top for the term. It might be easier to say, the White House, but then again they would probably take it as a compliment.

You are asking yourself right about now, “what the hell is he talking about?” Don’t worry I am going somewhere with this, you have to keep reading.

So all these neocons in top positions of government, some say, are the reason we are all mixed up in Iraq. They wanted a war that would bring more oil and a better footing in the Middle East. Some of the more liberal among us have suggested there might be a money trail. As in the men running the show were going to make a pile of dollars? But that seems on the fringe, I mean come on a war to make money? Oh, almost forgot, “they tried to kill me daddy”, he had a say in this also. So given the team, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Wolfowitz and the bunch, this is what they have given us in the last four years.

This conservative way of thinking has brought this country the biggest debt in history. Deficit spending has made a return. Finally, for the first time in our nation’s history we attacked another country without reason. I know what you are thinking, and there were no WMD. The connection between al Qaida and Iraq was non-existent. This is just the short list. Where does this leave us you ask? Iran, yes I said Iran. If you put your ear to the ground you will hear this sound coming from neocons, (whispering) we must bomb Iran!

My grandmother said it best, if you fail, pickup, try again and this time don’t fuck up. Maybe my grandmother said it without the profanity. I think what she was trying to say was this, if you make a mistake like invading Iraq; don’t try to make it better by invading another country. I am not sure what is traditional, conservative or Christian about bombing and invading another country? I am really not sure how anyone can think by doing this it will help get ride of the demons of the past. But given my most resent read and what has been flowing out of Washington. This seems to be the new thought? I am not sure how it works but the next time I am with some neocons at church or in a bar, I will ask.

This way of thinking has our little country in some hot water. We have done nothing but piss off the rest of the globe. I know the neocons among you would say, who gives a shit, we don’t need the world. I am sure they would end the statement with, I hate the UN! I know the UN is not perfect, but why is it necessary for ever conservative I know to hate the UN? I think I will save that for another blog. The fact of the matter is this; you can hate the UN and tell the world to piss off. But I want you to think about something the next time you are in a Wal-Mart or buying clothes at Nordstrom’s. Our economy is integrated into the world market. Everything you own or are thinking of owning has in someway come from somewhere else on the globe. The notion that we can simply bully the world into our way of life is folly. If this neocon way of foreign relations continues, bombing and invading every country on the planet, we will be all alone. Worse yet these policies are forcing us into a real war with high casualties. Maybe even nuclear?

In the end you have only one choice. If you want to continue fighting wars for, I don’t know WORLD DOMINATION, then stick with Bush and his neocon buddies. I think you can see the writing on the wall and it is written in the blood of American service men and women. I just hope come Election Day we put these boys and girls back in the black box they came in and shot them into the sun.
