Well it fits, since she is going to be president and he is going to be a former community organizer and has-been writer.

Let me amend my post above lest folks get the wrong idea that I'm singling out pro life anti-abortion types (for the record, I yearn for the reversal of Roe v. Wade).

Sadly, so many hold that the sole common denominator of "conservative" is to be pro-life and anti-abortion; that's all it takes to be "conservative" .....

I'd amend that to a couple of required denominators -- pro-life, anti-abortion, and hawkish pro-offense in war. As long as a Republican holds those views, he's "conservative." Yet how can he be conservative if he doesn't get that the right views on both issues are derived from belief in personal responsibility and freedom? Big government allows and tempts people to behave immorally; small government (and the resulting free enterprise) rewards people for behaving morally.

I think Rush and -- Libertarian or not -- Larry are conservatives who get that.

Thanks for the ping. Here is what I wrote to ABC:

“The interview I saw last night with Governor Palin was very slanted. I can’t believe Mr. Gibson acted like a member of the Gestapo while interviewing Governor Palin. It was truly shocking to see. I never thought I would see the day when a supposedly unbiased reporter could do such a hostile and combative interview. One of Obama’s campaign workers could have given a more fair interview. I witnessed Charles trying to deliberately intimidate Governor Palin. It was disgusting.”
