    Militarism is a traditional conservative value, and that seems to be
    what is being claimed as their major drive. I know that there are many
    other conservative values, but they aren't being claimed, in this
    article at least, for the "neo-cons". Also, calling Mr. Bush a trot is
    ... a bit wierd. He may share some similar values, but he would never
    admit it, at least not publically.
    Mind you, when I say Mr. Bush, it is my suspicion that I'm referring to
    the father of the current "president". He seems to me to be parroting
    his lines, and when I look around his father seems like the most likely
    puppet master.
