Thanks, found it. Interesting. "A Word about Neo-cons and Neo-libs"
"U.S.neo-conservatives, with their commitment to high military spending and the global assertion of national values, tend to be more authoritarian than hard right. By contrast, neo-liberals, opposed to such [so-called] moral leadership and, more especially, the ensuing demands on the tax payer, belong to a further right but less authoritarian region. Paradoxically, the "free market", in neo-con parlance, also allows for the large-scale subsidy of the military-industrial complex, a considerable degree of corporate welfare, and protectionism when deemed in the national interest. These are viewed by neo-libs as impediments to the unfettered market forces that they champion."

It's interesting that you moved more left in response to Bush. Have always believed his extremism would generate a reaction. Extremes beget extremes, because there's a desire to balance things. Dems will probably win the White House in 3.5 years and tend to believe the reaction will be strong, but hopefully not too extremist though. Would be nice to get back to Clinton's optimistic center.
