Ah, thank you, Pat. True enough - it should have been specified. Neo-cons are much more radical in their thinking than your run-of-the-mill conservative republicans.

Did you happen to read the recent story in Fortune magazine about that company
Sure did. A perfect example of how Unions can destroy a company. Unions are going to cause the eventual demise of Vons, Albertsons, and Ralphs. They cannot compete with Costco's, Kmarts, and Sams Clubs due to their rediculous wages. You should not make $30 an hour scanning groceries. A 5 year old can do it.

DEMOCRAT MEMO to "Journalists":
Make sure to report only BAD news, to make viewers and readers think we're in a quagmire.
Make sure to report, infer, and imply that the "insurrection" is throughout Iraq, and not localized to a small area of a vast country.
Make sure to report a handful of Iraqi citizen human interest stories about how they've suffered under the "occupation," to create the impression that the entire population resents us and wants to return to Saddam.
Make sure to use the words "invasion" and "occupation" - never "liberation."
Make sure to report US military mistakes, missteps, and the conflicting analyses that inevitably happens on the battlefield - but never successes.
Always refer to Coalition presence there as "The US," "us," "we," and "our" - and ignore the thirty-some other countries involved in the effort.
Make sure to spotlight the relatively few returning dead or wounded soldiers and ignore the thousands who returned safely, alive and confident in the work being done there.
Further, ask those who are family survivors to their faces: "How do you feel about losing your loved one?" and "How do you feel about the Iraq War."
Focus always on yellow ribbons, funerals and the gloom-induced malaise necessary to pressure for withdrawal.
Always report on the tired old "Rent-A-Mob" protests numbering in the handfuls, as conclusive proof most Americans don't support the war.
Remember, your job as Journalists is to advocate and spin a point of view at all times harmful to George W. Bush and US interests, never to report the FACTS.

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war.
They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point: We didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11. Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.
FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.
Truman finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,333 per year.
John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.
Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.
Worst president in history? Come on! The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation.
We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge.
