Are you a neo-liberal?
This really is a world turned upside down.
We hear a lot about neo-cons, those people shocked out of their liberal beliefs by 9-11. I think there is a feeling that they'll get over it, eventually.
Maybe some of them will. But I think that quite a few people are actually rediscovering classical liberal values... or they always had them but it took a traumatic event to focus their attention so that they look around and declare, "Waitaminute, I don't *believe* this!"
Because "conservative" just means conserving the past and classical liberalism *is* in the past. So the neo-con is possibly, actually, a neo-liberal.
Is that twisty enough for you? Because the world really is twisted upside down.

The "far left" and the democratic party has turned the world liberal into something even more extreme than it was.
Liberals (or at least the word) are associated now with socialism, anti-military, anti-war, hate America, hate anyone other than themselves and those that think being nice to Islam and Muslims will work and the Muslims won't want to chop off their heads.
Which of course, is a nice "liberal" view point and one that will not only endanger our Republic but the world.
Yea, the world, because it looks like we are the only ones who are willing to give our childrens blood to protect not only us but the rest of the (insert your favorite descriptive word here) world.
