Two words that are compatible, to a point. Even the most patient and considerate people would ultimately grow tired of dealing with the immaturity of others under numerous situations.
For example, let's say that someone you know took over their neighbors garage at gunpoint. And let's say the neighborhood got together and confronted this person. And let's say that instead of getting his ass kicked, he promised to leave the garage, stop beating his wife and kids, give up his gun and ammunition if he could still stay in the neighborhood.
Now he leaves the garage, but ten years later, he still beats his wife and still refuses to give up his gun. And lets say, we send someone to his house to look for the gun. And let's say he initially allows this person to look, but only in specific places and then tells the person to get out. Then you find out that he helped the guys who damaged your house. And all the time buying more guns and ammo.
Would your patience wear thin?

A lot of hypothetical there. Try the real world for awhile. Billions of dollars wasted on an unnecessary war. Bush's poll ratings at an all time low. Clark threatens neo-cons like you.

It's okay, you should be worried.

OK, apparently you just don't get it. It was an analogy of Saddam. Personally, one nuke would do it but we gotta have a body.
And, by the way, I am not a neocon.

Oh I got it. And yes, if you support this administration, YOU ARE a neo-con.

So I am a neocon because I support the man who was elected to lead the country? All this time I thought I was an AMERICAN.

i think the term for you is "sheep", since you would blindly follow a president without question. as james baldwin said, "I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually".

I am DEFINATELY NOT one of the sheeple in this world. Obviously, you don't have a clue to even hint that.

He wasn't elected by the people. Last I checked he lost the popular vote.

Yeah, but he won the electoral vote. Which is how Truman defeated Dewey all those years ago.

Am I not an American? I'm a naturalized citizen. I pay taxes, just like you. But you CHOOSE to support Bush. He and his administration are neocons.
neoconservative

"nee-oh-con-serve-uh-tiv"

One who follows the "neo-con" subsect of the American conservative political wing. A Neo Conservative generally favors hawkish foreign agendas and overt militarization due to their core purpose of promoting American supremacy overseas and their disgustingly retarded and simplistic belief that any given situation can be resolved with aggression (see: Iraq). Due to their unabashed shortsightedness, they are considered ignorant buffoons by other conservatives. Especially so by the paleoconservatives.

When it comes to domestic affairs, however, Neo Conservatives aren't nearly as decisive. In fact, they're totally impotent and ineffectual.

Gee, I guess that's why our economy is in the shitter and the rest of the world hates us... We have a neo-conservative dickhead in the White House.

Sounds Like You
