But we are not going into the empire biz. Why would we?

Because neocons & wingers are brain damaged?

More important than the names of people affiliated with neo-conservatism are the
views they adhere to. Here is a brief summary of the general understanding of
what neocons believe:
1. They agree with Trotsky on permanent revolution, violent as well as
intellectual.
2. They are for redrawing the map of the Middle East and are willing to use
force to do so.
3. They believe in preemptive war to achieve desired ends.
4. They accept the notion that the ends justify the means-that hard-ball
politics is a moral necessity.
5. They express no opposition to the welfare state.
6. They are not bashful about an American empire; instead they strongly endorse
it.
7. They believe lying is necessary for the state to survive.
8. They believe a powerful federal government is a benefit.
9. They believe pertinent facts about how a society should be run should be held
by the elite and withheld from those who do not have the courage to deal with
it.
10. They believe neutrality in foreign affairs is ill-advised.
11. They hold Leo Strauss in high esteem.
12. They believe imperialism, if progressive in nature, is appropriate.
13. Using American might to force American ideals on others is acceptable. Force
should not be limited to the defense of our country.
14. 9-11 resulted from the lack of foreign entanglements, not from too many.
15. They dislike and despise libertarians (therefore, the same applies to all
strict constitutionalists.)
16. They endorse attacks on civil liberties, such as those found in the Patriot
Act, as being necessary.
17. They unconditionally support Israel and have a close alliance with the Likud
Party.

Isn't this when the town's people, carrying a bunch of torches, chase
the neocons up the hill and into the castle?
