In other words: A discussion of The Bush Administration
Neo-Cons just love The Washington Times. Andrew Sullivan actually gets paid to work there.
The Times is the the conservative voice in Washington praised by many members of the Republican party. Rev. Moon was thanked for giving Washinton this paper, Bush the elder has spoken at Rev. Moon events.
And what does Rev. Moon do these days (when not saying all gays should die, and that hitler and stalin have repented and praised him)?
Rev. Moon's submarines, sold to Kim Jong-Il, empower a nuke threat to the West Coast
Robert Parry, the ace reporter who broke the Iran-Contra story, obtained these files through the Freedom of Information Act while writing his 2000 story, "Rev. Moon, North Korea and the Bushes," about Moon's gifts to the Communist regime. Read on, if you dare.
...
So "it is speculated" that the Washington Times will be used by the North Koreans? Huh -- even the U.S. intelligence community doesn't buy editor Wes Pruden's claims that his paper is editorially independent. And a Times article, on May 24, 1994, downplayed the significance of the sale. Without revealing that the newspaper owner's company gave a Secret Santa gift of missile tech to the Kim empire, it reported that the subs were useless....
Please read the entire frightening post. Thanks to Atrios for bringing it to my attention.
What is it with neo-cons arming the North Koreans?
The neo-con darling Rev. Moon gives the North Korean's subs, and Rumsfeld gives them a nuclear power plant?
Why are Neo-Cons soft of the Axis of Evil?

"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
