You’re wrong. You are a liberal.

No I'm not, thank you very much. I'm a conservative in the tradition of Buckley, Friedman, and the rest who were prominent back when we were a movement of ideas.

You on the other hand, illustrate exactly what is wrong with the movement today.

You immediately judge anyone who doesn't like a particular right-wing personality to be a liberal. It is people who are turning the conservative movement into a collection of personality cults rather than a movement of ideas.

Personality cults are not conservative.

Ha. You’re hilarious. Name drop to me and in the same breath say I’m a cult of personality worshiper. And, fyi, Buckley wandered away from the Conservative movement in the end.

It is YOU that illustrate what is wrong with the conservative movement today. Anyone who doesn’t act as a so-called intellectual and play nice with the people who want to destroy our freedom is deemed unacceptable by you.

"Right-wing" is a label used by liberals, socialists and the mainstream media to categorize conservatives. It is frequently used in a pejorative sense. Conservatives don't generally use the term.

It is people who are turning the conservative movement into a collection of personality cults rather than a movement of ideas.

Sez you.

Personality cults are not conservative.

That's why there are no personality cults within the ranks of the conservatives here. There are merely individuals who identify positively or negatively with prominent conservatives and who let it be known from time to time in the forum.

You, on the other hand, spend a lot of time attempting to put the kibosh on the enthusiasms of people with whom you claim to have common cause.

You don't like Coulter; you don't like Palin.

Maybe you're just anti-woman. LOL.
