Is this wrong, in your opinion, if the inhabitants of said country would like nothing more than to rip your guts out, burn them in an open fire, and throw the ashes in the face of your widow and fatherless children?
I've heard this term a lot over the past 15 years, and I'm trying to figure out if a neo-con is bad or good.
Or if i may be a sympathizer. Your post was very well written thank you
Edit to add, What do you mean by grabbing up oil in the middle east? I thought oil was sold in an open market? If not would it be better to develop oil resources on USA soil?

Your reply is off topic and you didn't respond to my question concerning your opinion on neo-con philosophy.
This is my last post on this topic.
I still don't see how Sheikh's reply reeked of ignorance. I asked for an education and didn't get one.
Welcome to Realcent, red!

It's troubling how you completely lack the spirit of the founding fathers. And that your apparently not reading my posts.
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then.”
Do you claim to have some higher insight on the workings of a government then Thomas Jefferson?
I can only imagine you as a Redcoat solider saying (probably while giving some poor colonist a beat down) This is a colony ruled RULED BY KING GEORGE, NOT BY PEASANT MEN.
See what I did there ... yes the names were changed but the context is the same!
You think that we can fight corruption by voting in republicans?
Is the word republican synonymous with "honest"?
Here is a partial list of of Republicans who are most likely facing investigations by the Department of Justice, House ethics committee, Senate ethics committee, and or Office of Congressional Ethics.
* Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
* Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
* Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL)
* Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA)
* Sen. John Ensign (R-NV)
* Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA)
* Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA)
* Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
* Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA)
* Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
* Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA)
* Rep. Harold Rogers (R-KY)
* Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX)
* Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH)
* Sen. David Vitter (R-LA)
* Rep. Don Young (R-AK)
And don't forget the celebrity crooks like Giuliani, Chenny and Palin
Do you really think that people who would screw over whole states would care about a few soldiers?
The republicans are just a bad as the democrats there is no real difference. The two party system is a smoke and mirrors trick to fool the masses
and give the illusion that change happens ... All while the fox is raiding the hen house!

Yeah, as long as it's our soldiers getting killed instead of their homeboys, they are cool with it.
