I wouldn't mind adding other words too, if people think they are overused. I doubt we could make it happen, but it would be nice if we could get the mods to institute a penalty to those who misused the words.

BTW, I think someone above accused me of being conservative (I might have misunderstood). Anyways, I'm not, I'm quite liberal in my ideals, but I stray from a few of their ideas.

Can you disprove they are Bible Thumpers???

Can you disprove they aren't Brainwashed???


When these so called "Republicans" just continue to spew Religious epitaphs with their Political views and sound like Tape Recorders (Brainwashed) for the so called "Conservative" Talk Show Hosts, that is not "dissagreement" or an "understanding" issue, that is the definition of the ruling club members of the Republican Empire I call the Neocon Nation.

Interesting, Neocons should be proud of this but instead are desperate to be separated from it, wonder why??? :confused:

There should be 4 terms used....

1. Bush supporters (2.5% of posters)
2. Rabid Kerry Haters (5% of posters)
3. Rabid Bush Haters (90% of posters)
4. kerry Supporters (2.5% of posters)

That should cover the spectrum getting rid of the the L/C, D/R labels.

Actually, I think it's the other way around. People resort to name-calling when they've run out of ammo. If name-calling is the best you can do, why are you even in the discussion? You say you don't like diversionary tactics... well, hauling out the name-calling is just one big fat diversion. It's an attempt to derail the discussion and it's lame... regardless of what the general sentiment on the board may be.

It's one thing to mention it now and then, especially when it's just in fun... but there are a few people here who rely on these terms as a foundation to their stance, and that's absurd.
That's what I meant...perhaps I was a bit unclear. The person using the term has, imo, run out of ammo.

If only we were as smart as you Dave..

misuse of state resources is "being caught inside the corrupt political machine"? explain that one to me

Sit in Jail, lose 2 years of your life, lose $18,000, face 120 years prison time and it would need no explanation.

Where is the link to a better explanation of what happened? If you were wronged, I want to know about it and voice my outrage too. (This is a serious statement)

I can't disprove that you're not really a Nazi or Communist... but you don't see me calling you one.

I've seen you call people neocon at the drop of a hat and without any hint of religious sentiment on their part. Of course, not that having religious beliefs automatically makes you a neocon. The fact is, you are the most narrow-minded SOB on this board (how's that for a label?) and you have absolutely zero tolerance for people who disagree with you or question you. You talk about "objectivity"? You should be handcuffed for defecating on the word.

Get over yourself.

That sounds like one helluva rotten deal... but it's still not an explanation for such blatant disregard for others' views. You can't expect the world to roll over for you and agree with everything you think because you got screwed.

We have to prove nothing about your posts ALWAYS containg the word Neocon! You prove it post after post.
Wake up and smell what you are shoveling not everyone who disagree's with you is a Neocon or brainwashed. If you cannot admit to that then seek professional help. You are obsessed with the "NEOCON" label.

Awwww, at least you are a Proud Neocon. Good for you. Not many say that.

Thank You. I am "Narrowed Minded" on how this Country should be and when it is threatened and disrespected like it has been the past 4 years I will say so and not afraid to voice my dissent about it.

If that makes me an SOB Proud Ass then so be it. :thumbsup:

Basically, neoconservatives are Jewish Republicans. The neoconservatives pushed for war with Iraq. The Bush administration has been tricked into this huge mess.

General Anthony Zinni Blames Neoconservatives And Says Their Iraq Course Doomed

But, don?t take what I say at face value. Listen to the words of retired General Anthony Zinni --- no nitwit he. From 1997 to 2000, he was commander-in-chief of the U.S. Central Command. He was in charge of all American troops in the Middle East.

Following Gen. Zinni?s retirement from the Marine Corps, the Bush Administration thought so much of him that he was appointed their special envoy to the Middle East. In mid-March of 2002, President Bush said that he and Vice President D. Cheney ?both trust? Gen. Zinni. In this same month and year, Vice President Cheney called him ?a superb officer.? And in late May of this year, even after the interview I?m about to tell you about, White House press spokesman Scott McClellan said: ?We have great respect for General Zinni.?

?In one article--because I mentioned the neo-conservatives, who describe themselves as neo-conservatives, I was called anti-Semitic. I mean, you know, unbelievable that that's the kind of personal attacks that are run when you criticize a strategy of those that propose it. I certainly didn't criticize who they were. I certainly don't know what their ethnic religious backgrounds are. And I'm not interested. I know what strategy they promoted, and openly, and for a number of years, and what they have convinced the president and the secretary to do. And I don't believe there is any serious political leader, military leader, diplomat in Washington that doesn't know where it came from.?

For all of this, Gen. Zinni blames ?the civilian leadership of the Pentagon directly? and others who are so-called neoconservatives. These individuals include Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, former Defense policy board member Richard Perle, National Security Council member Eliot Abrams, and Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis Scooter Libby. He believes these persons are political ideologues who have hijacked American policy in Iraq. And they advocated an invasion of Iraq to, among other things, strengthen the position of Israel.
