It was even simpler than that. I just applied a chain of simple logic
based on the definitions previously provided. If "neo" is new, then if
someone is a "neo"conservative, that implies that they were
previously something else. The most common "other" ideology would be a
liberal. Therefore, a "new" conservative would most likely be an "old"
liberal.

Binary thinking at its finest. Only two possibilities to consider.

Sometimes that's all there is. Are you familiar with Occam's razor?

Dave

I am. Old William called for a minimum number of points *necessary*. For
issues as complex as a worldwide Islamist insurgency, black or white
ain't enough.

Sure it is. If you are an infidel you must convert to Islam or die by the
Islamic sword. Simple, black and white and binary.

That is the way our enemies think. Should we not respond in kind?

Dave

You mean, we should become what they are?

No, we should be better at it.

Dave

Yeah, well, when you are trying to win the hearts and minds, as Bush
keeps saying, that is NOT how you do it.
