1. I always thought being a Neocon (there are quite a few decent conservatives) was alot like...
...being a spoiled 5-year old deep, deep inside. And so the whole world is frightening and stealing things from you and so the only "logical" recourse is to lash out, try to control as many people as possible and take, take, take.

  A long time ago I wouldn't have believed that anyone over, say, 25, could function with broken psycho-emotional mechanics at that low level. But I have seen enough to know I was wrong.

4. 3 types of Repubs
As a former Republican, I've noted 3 primary types of Republicans:
1) Neocons, who believe that the military is the solution to every problem
2) Bible-thumpers, who believe God/Jeebus is the solution to everything
3) Chicken shits who are libertarian but are more worried about preventing a Democrat from winning an election than voting on principle for a third party candidate (who might be a spoiler)

*Disclaimer: I'm an anarcho-libertarian, but I hang out a bit here because I like all the anti-war, pro-civil liberties stuff.

8. A lot of 'em are a combination of your #1 and #2, which is even scarier (and contradictory)

10. yeah
I thought about that after I posted. In fact, I used to be one of those #1/#2 combinations. I had been totally brainwashed by religion and faux patriotic flag-wavers. But, in the immortal words of that peasant dude from Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail, I got better.

9. I don't believe you
You're still typing and not one misspelling. You're a libertarian at best. I hope that wasn't the second half.
