Comments for Geoffrey Britain's Weblog http://geoffreybritain.wordpress.com Freedom, Responsibility, Reason, Common Sense Sun, 07 Jun 2009 09:23:46 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on About me by logos6f1h9l http://geoffreybritain.wordpress.com/about/#comment-11 logos6f1h9l Sun, 07 Jun 2009 09:23:46 +0000 #comment-11 Dear Sir, Hope this note finds you well. Actually, I hope this note even finds you! Since I lack the same rhetorical virtuosity you posses, a Thank You is in order Mr. Britain, however late it may be. Today, I read your posts/responses on a message board relating to an article posted on the site Wizbang. The article is titled "Day Without Gay" and dated December 10, 2008. Your arguments supporting 1 man, 1 woman marriage were superb. Quite frankly, the best I've ever read. Your posts were well constructed, clear and concise...the absolute truth. You did not attack, there was no malice and your responses polite (with a touch of derisiveness). They echoed my sentiments exactly. I gained valuable, persuasive insights on how to better break down their arguments favoring gay "marriage"...This ultimately helps me enlighten others. California still has a chance...thanks to folks like you Mr. Britain. Anyways, Thank you for your efforts. Please keep going...keep speaking out. Truth and logic/reason are their nemesis. Warmly, John H. Dear Sir,

The term neoconservative was originally used as a criticism against liberals who had "moved to the right". It has influenced the presidential administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush, representing a realignment in American politics, and the defection of some liberals to the right side of the political spectrum; hence the term, which refers to being 'new' conservatives. Neoconservatism emphasizes foreign policy as the paramount responsibility of government, seeing America's role as the world's sole superpower as indispensable to establishing and maintaining global order. According to E. J. Dionne, the nascent neoconservatives were driven by "the notion that liberalism" had failed and "no longer knew what it was talking about." Prominent neoconservative periodicals are Commentary and The Weekly Standard. Neoconservatives are associated with foreign policy initiatives of think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), The Heritage Foundation, and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA).
