In other words: A discussion of The Bush Administration
An Open Letter to Neo-Cons
Though you may debate this, both our political views come from our love of America, and the freedom it represents. For some reason though your definition of freedom is different than mine in that your definition includes the want to arrest protestors for sedition. Here’s the funny thing there, if you listened to the protestors, 700 plus Americans would still be alive, 1,000 plus Americans would have their eyes, legs… their health back, and al Queada wouldn’t be having the recruitment boom it is now enjoying. Let’s not even get into the $100 billion plus missing of our money (you do pay taxes don’t you?). So who was practicing sedition here, the ones that wanted to save this damage befalling our country or the ones who wanted to destroy American good will internationally?
Let’s put this aside for now.
You love America, and you believe that your political philosophy will benefit America. Your chosen “leader” in this cause is George Bush. Unfortunately at this point it has become glaringly obvious to anyone that this "leader" and his advisors are incompetent. To put it the way your “leader” would say it: Bush is incompetent and when I say incompetent, I mean…. incompetent. For a while now I’ve assumed that your hope was that somehow if he was re-elected he’d bring a new team of advisors in and all would work out, and your political philosophy would become mainstream, and your next “leader” would bring the neo-con “American Empire” to fruition. Unfortunately with four more years of Bush, America may not be an international power at all, much less a country ready to stage a “new American Century.”
Though I don’t believe in the concept of an “American Empire,” as to me an empire is against everything America stands for, I do want to give some good advice to neo-cons. Don’t vote for Bush in 2004. Neo-cons are going to be as ridiculed, marginalized, and mocked a decade from now as hippies were in the eighties if you don’t stop Bush now. Re-read some of the articles posted above and you’ll realize this is already happening. Bush is not only destroying America, a country I do love, and showing a generosity you will not show me will grant that you love, but he is also destroying any future a neo-con political philosophy has. So for the sake of your political leanings, don’t vote for Bush. I realize you could never vote for Kerry, so vote Libertarian, I’m sure that would let you sleep at night.
All of the above is assuming some intelligence on the part of your average neo-con, but seeing as your “thinkers” are people like Elliot Abrams, William Bennett, Richard Perle, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Jeb Bush, Gary Bauer, Dick Cheney, and Dan Quayle (hahaha), I realize that I’ve just wasted valuable space on TCS that could have been used for something useful like another Get Your War On strip, or something.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American people."
- Teddy Roosevelt
"Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of
its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work
for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering
hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the
Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make
fitting response."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions, but laws must and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
"All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain
degree."
- James Madison
"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."
- John F. Kennedy
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
