I happen to agree with the premise of this article: "The Liberty of Americans is threatened by the Neo Conservative movement." YOU should have said so in your introduction.
THIS ARTICLE CLEARLY AND POINTEDLY ENUMERATES THE VARIOUS AND VERY REAL THREATS AGAINST AMERICANS.
Bush is not the only villain. Professor Leo Strauss set the pattern and his acolytes are all over the Bush Administration, The earlier Bush Administration, and the Reagan Administration.
If you have not read at least a summary of Leo Strauss, you are not fully prepared to make the arguments necessary.

This movement did not start with Bush, or his cabal, and they are not the only ones. It goes back to Reagan and even corporate democrats like Clinton.
I became familiar with Strauss a number of years ago and he is said to be sort of the "Founding Father" of this Conservative Movement. You can do a search on him and see.
Its the usual conservative line, as I remember, which I don't agree with. Funny thing is he impressed me so much that I can't remember one actual thing he said.
So I don't want to put words in his mouth.
It would be helpful to be aware of him, especially if you get into debates with conservatives, but as I say, I can't remember anything he said, except the same old same old, which has now proven to be a failure for working people and a boon to the wealthy and corporate elite's. Even long time hard core conservatives like Kevin Phillips and Paul Craig Roberts are distancing themselves from Bush and it's now clear there is a real fight going on among old time conservatives and the hard line Neocons.
Though I do believe in examining all opinions and ways of thinking I now spend most of my time reading Chomsky and other progressives, who have a proven track record of truth, accuracy and insight. I find it a more productive use of my time
