Thanks Berry. I have made a concerted effort over the last couple of years to replace "conservative" with a series of more accurate terms: wacko, wingnut, radical, extremist, reactionary, etc. "Conservative" just isn't the right term for the current neo-fascist US government & its remaining supporters. jd On 8/22/07, Barry Alpert <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > I'm glad to see your repeated usage "reactionary right".
