[Vision2020] A question for the lovely and talented Joan akaAuntie or any other writing type people on this forum

I agree with you, Mr. Budge.  "Neo-con" has never been used in a context
outside of a reference to neo-conservatism.  I am simply stating my opinion
concerning Tim's reference to "neo-con" and Doug Wilson. 

Doug Wilson has been referred to as a neo-Confederate several times.  But, I
have yet to read where he is considered a a neo-conservative, the "new"
compassionate conservatives.

Keep the $2.50 and treat yourself to a gallon of gas.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

If I was wrong I stand corrected, but I suggest that "neo-con" as 
neo-confederate is not typical modern usage.  Do a google search - if 
you find any "neo-con" results for neo-confederate in the first ten 
pages I'll buy you a latte.  I haven't done it so I'll take you at your 
word and send you the $2.50.
