An apology? Not good enough!

The New Neo Posted on October 30, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

Do you think this public apology thing may have gotten just a wee bit out of hand as redress for every possible error, including those not made by the one asked to do the apologizing? I do. But Senate Democratic … Continue reading →

Judging Harriet

The New Neo Posted on October 24, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

Methinks I hear the fat lady singing for Ms. Miers, and it’s an ugly sound–a cross between a squawk, a whine, a groan, and a croak. I don’t believe we have any real way of knowing whether Ms. Miers is … Continue reading →

Don’t make RINOs an endangered species

The New Neo Posted on October 20, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

Lately, there’s been a lot of rage going around at RINOs. (For those who aren’t familiar with the appellation, it stands for “Republicans in Name Only”–or what used to be known as “Rockefeller Republicans” in a somewhat less acronym-mad era). … Continue reading →

Forget the Law of Thirds at your peril

The New Neo Posted on October 10, 2005 by neoAugust 4, 2007

Some time ago–long before I became a blogger, or even a neocon–I noticed a certain phenomenon and gave it what I thought was a unique name: the “Law of Thirds.” Well, it turns out the phrase also refers to a … Continue reading →

Recap: elections round the world

The New Neo Posted on October 5, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

Let’s see now, we’ve got the Freedom Trifecta of Howard, Bush, and Blair (in chronological order), all somehow re-elected and returned to power despite the incessant carping of the left. Then of course there’s Afghanistan, in its second largely peaceful … Continue reading →

So what’s in it for me?–making political hay out of disaster

The New Neo Posted on September 14, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

There’s a world of difference between skepticism and cynicism. Skeptics doubt and question in an attempt to get at the truth. Cynics doubt because they think that, by definition, every player has bad (or at least selfish) motives. What happens … Continue reading →

Pushing for the draft

The New Neo Posted on August 15, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

The Kathe Kollwitz thread seems to have engendered a heated discussion, sparked by another “anonymous,” once again (or perhaps the same “anonymous” once again), who said that those who are for the Iraq war and consider it so “noble” would … Continue reading →

Karl Rove: all he needs is an editor and some qualifiers

The New Neo Posted on June 24, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

It’s simple–Karl Rove just needs an editor. Democrats and liberals are in an uproar about some statements Rove made Wednesday at a Manhattan fund-raiser. In case you were on planet Xenon and missed them, here they are: Conservatives saw the … Continue reading →

A Bush’s home is his castle: political family dynasties and dynamics

The New Neo Posted on June 22, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

Hold the presses, I got a scoop from Pancho, who happens to hail from Midland, Texas, the home town of one George W. Bush. (Okay, maybe it’s not exactly a scoop, since all this information is in the public domain–but … Continue reading →

On Bush-hatred and its causes

The New Neo Posted on June 20, 2005 by neoOctober 19, 2010

I recently received an e-mail expressing some thoughts about Bush that seem fairly representative of those who detest the man, and offering up a theory as to why: Isn’t his shallow narcissism obvious every time he opens his mouth? After … Continue reading →

The fox and the hedgehog: Kerry and Bush revisited

The New Neo Posted on April 14, 2005 by neoMarch 4, 2007

Here’s a guy I’d love to have known. Everything I’ve ever read about Isaiah Berlin indicates that he was one of the most fascinating people ever; a giant mind, a great heart, and a tremendous sense of joy. One of … Continue reading →

Conversations with my liberal mother

The New Neo Posted on April 6, 2005 by neoAugust 28, 2009

My 91-year old mother is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, formed in the crucible of the Great Depression and not to be swayed. Not that I’d want to sway her; it’s perfectly OK with me at this point. I’m just happy she’s … Continue reading →
