Another who doesn't know that the decision was made before Boston happened.
The "libertarian" defends the memory of an ultra conservative with a quote from a neocon.
Love it!
Considering Michelle "batcrazy" Bachmann, and Newt "the hypocrit" Gingrich were there.. then I think it was wise that basically no world leaders were present... Talk about stinking up the place... frankly a disgrace and insult to the memory of Maggie Thatcher
Rhetorical questions have little to do with truth, and it was not seeking truth, it was an expression of political orientation.Perhaps because it is true?
If a statement is true it shouldn't matter what the political persuasion is.
At least the VP, the Sec of State should have attended.This is unbelievable....Not one current official to send to Margret Thatcher's funeral? I mean come on! How many times can Obama snub England? Or any of our other traditional allies for that matter?
For comparison consider, I believe that when Reagan died, England was represented by the current, as well as the former PM at the time, the Queen herself, and other dignitaries....We can't spare one current administration official?
BTW, I know that the partisan progressives will instantly say that Bush isn't going either, being as that is the go to excuse for them, and personally I don't think that is right either...Bush should go.

My point was more that a poster who claims the mantle of "libertarianism" continuously defends neocons with quotes from other neocons while making neocon argument.
Beyond your inability to find "truth" in what the neocon Kristol pronounced, I find it funny that my commenting about the neocon Kristol fawning over the neocon Thatcher is a display of my not understand who is or is not a neocon.It seems you have no idea what a 'neo-con' actually is.
Forget your personal labels, which mean little to anyone else, and check for the truth.
If he went you would be be saying he should be in Washington! I lieu of what has happened in Boston, he is where he should be and this thread is truly silly.

LOL!
I specifically applied it to Kristol and Thatcher, show how that is incorrect."Neo-con" has a specific political meaning, and it isn't the slur you and your ilk have turned it into.

"William Kristol (born December 23, 1952) is an American neoconservative political analyst and commentator."
"The election of Margaret Thatcher as Prime Minster in 1979 in the United Kingdom brought new imputus to neoconservative ideas on both sides of the 'pond', with Thatcher representing the triumph of key 'neoconservative' ideas not only over the 'socialist' ideals of the European post-war consensus, built around union representation and the Welfare State - but over traditional 'British conservatism' too. So-called Reagonomics and Thatcherism were two names for the same neoconservative policy."
Most progressive liberals tend to throw out that term as an antisemitic slur...That's a fact.
I'm still waiting for you to show that my calling them neoconservative was incorrect, and you can add whether I am being "antisemitc" in doing so.Most progressive liberals tend to throw out that term as an antisemitic slur...That's a fact.

Stop dancing and make a point about my comments, not what you think you saw from someone somewhere.
How stupidly ironic, complaining about pejoratives when tossing out claims of antisemitism!They use it as a pejorative in an effort to appear 'intellectual' but their cluelessness, and their antisemitism yes, is always eventually exposed.
ffs! Wow!well, first off, you don't get to set the rules around here, so your demands are really funny....secondly, provide a link to what you posted about thatcher and we'll talk....

I know that but it is still silly to make this out to be a big deal.. It just isn't.

How rich!
Some believe ambiguity is a strength in debate.As you should be aware, there is a strain of conservatism that is close to libertarianism. That was certainly where Baroness Thatcher resided. As for Kristol, there are issues where he and I part company, but in this instance he was both on point and rhetorically superior.
ffs! Wow!

As for your subservience to Kristol, I have no doubt.
I already have, I asked for you or anyone interested to show I was incorrect. It goes beyond prefix analysis.Firstly you must understand what 'neo' means. Do you know?
Then you have to know what is meant by 'Conservative', as defined by Margaret Thatcher. Do you know that?
When you have put it all together then we can judge whether Margaret Thatcher was, in fact, a "Neo-Conservative".
