[Vision2020] RE: Neo-Con

Then you should not use the term in that manner.  Everywhere else in the 
United States Neocon means Neoconservative.  Call it Neo-Conf or some 
similar thing or you are deliberately trying to confuse the issue by tying 
in unrelated folks into controversies that they have nothing to do with.

As for Fred Phelps, he is a no show at hundreds of 'events' every year and 
claims that he is going to show up all over the nation.  The guy is a 
whacko, though he was Al Gore's campaign manager for Kansas and is a current 
long term member of the Democratic Party, for which he runs races for Kansas 
office all the time.  Maybe he was planning a trip to Moscow to help Joan 
organize the come back of the Democrats as a Idaho contending party?  Hey I 
would pay money to see that one.
