The Neo-Radicons

Obama has been President for less than three months and before that had been a Senator for three years and eight months and in that time missed 314 of 1300 votes or 24% (I know that because I watched some Fox News during the run up to the election), how could a man with so little time in office and so little experience have anything to do with the U.S.’ current economic situation. Even if you could blame the U.S. economic collapse on sub-prime loans, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or even the Clinton Administration’s hard line against Redlining (Clinton was eight years ago), where was the canary in the coal mine? Where was the partisan outcry twelve, ten, eight, six, four or even two years ago while all these bad notes were being written?

“Are there no more Conservatives in D.C?” “Can the U.S. survive four years, God forbid eight, of Obama?” William Ares survived Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush and Bush. You Neo-Cons have a few choices; you can love it or leave it, you can arm up (okay, just load what you got) and take the country back or crawl into your Cold War bomb shelter and ride it out. Any way you choose, it will be hard to plot a future without severing your moorings to the ghost of Ronald Reagan (he was 20 years ago). This is it though, your time to shine, everybody loves the underdog, you're not the majority any more you don’t have to be silent, let your hair down and your freak flag fly you neo-radical anti-government conservatives, you Neo-Radicons.
