Bush is not a conservative

Bush is officially not conservative. I've known this, of course, but this is one of the most clear illustrations I've seen (besides his signing of the enormous new medicare 'entitlement') of his non-conservatism^[1]. This is why I find it so incredulous when people refer to Bush's administration as some kind of "extreme right wing" something or other.

But right wing is a separate idea from conservatism. Neo-liberalism is right wing, after all. And he's still extreme right wing. Just not so much the Libertarian right wing.

What's "neo-liberalism" (and how is it right-wing), and how is Bush "extreme right wing"?

I just have to write a reply to this, but I don't have time right now. If I've time later, I'll write one up and post it.
