Interesting read... especially this

But neoconservatism -- which is really what the right-wing pro-Bush movement has become -- doesn't believe in any of that, and Brooks' column demonstrates that they are admitting that more and more explicitly. Instead, it touts a radical and authoritarian nanny-statism that seeks, at its core, to provide feelings of protection, safety, and moralistic clarity -- "security leads to freedom" -- all delivered by political leaders using ever-increasing federal government power and limitless militarism. Whether one believes in that radical and warped vision of the American federal government is, more than any other factor, what now determines one's political orientation.

When it quackx like fascism.. a whole bunch of the NEO-Cons here start trying to misdirect attention from what it really is.

That is an interesting perspective. I don't believe however that the President is the lead man on the movement. I believe that the real root of what I've called the "right-wing" is that which came out to vote in 2004.

Rather, I think this political perspective saw the President as the first viable conduit to express itself and push an agenda that couldn't be pushed before.

It's obviously not palatable to all, as evidenced by the 06 elections.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
