K2 you have been shamed with your own ignorance - BUT, you did at least take some time to go out and do a cursory review of the term neocon that you were incorrectly using in these forums.

That being said, further study would be of great benefit to you as the information you copied in here is but the surface of the neocon world - a complicated and murky intellectual movement that involves such a broad spectrum of political figures ranging from JFK to Obama and many points between.

It is a fascinating study...

I was calling you a neocn, (a tool that tries to prove the unprovable that we're not warming) with this meaning.

1. Small group of politicians coming from as early as the Ford administration up to the Bush II administration.
2. Have a fake pretense about believing in smaller government. In reality believe in big spending and tax cuts for their wealthy political and business friends, hence deficit spending.
3. They fake being social conservatives, although true social conservatives believe they really care about social issues. Neocons distract the public by acting like they really care about social issues like gay marriage, abortion, and flag burning. Meanwhile they are busy conducting wars and stifling your freedom.
4. Believe in costly wars and creating boogeymen to try and make you think only they can keep you safe while they restrict your freedoms to "protect you". This is their signature issue, to help keep them in power

Neoconservative. Criminally insane spenders that believe in killing brown people for the new world order. Huge Orwellian government, unfathomable amounts of spending, bomb tens of thousands of people to death to rearrange the globe. Take the worst aspects of the liberal and conservative positions and combine them into one and you would have a NeoCon.

LOL!

I thought your were engaging in serious discussion!

Ok, now I know you are just attempting so humor here. Good one!

SANTA CRUZ -- Record temperatures might fall in the Santa Cruz Mountains, as summer's first heat wave hits the Monterey Bay Area this weekend.

The combination of warm weather and Woodies on the Wharf will kick off summer on the Santa Cruz coast, with temperatures expected to reach into the low 90s in Santa Cruz today. Temperatures are expected to rise to 94 degrees on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Monterey.

Forecasters anticipate temperatures to break the century mark in the Santa Cruz Mountains, reaching 100-plus degrees in Ben Lomond, Corralitos and Boulder Creek. The record for Ben Lomond on June 28, 100 degrees, was set in 1974.

The agency issued a heat advisory Friday for the San Francisco Bay Area, saying temperatures could soar to 101 in San Francisco on Sunday. The agency advises older people and others susceptible to heat stroke to stay hydrated, wear light-colored clothing and stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day.
