The problem with Roadrunner’s point is that invariably “conservative” phonies such as the Bushes have turned their guns on old Right, paleocon, and cultural conservatives.

They spend more time attacking the populist Right than they spend fighting liberals and the Left. This goes all the way back to Jack Kemp scowling in disgust at Pat Buchanan’s Culture War speech to the 1992 GOP convention. They don’t attack liberals because on most issues they agree with liberals.

Conservatism, Inc. as some have called it isn’t interested in supporting you. It’s interested getting conservatives to support them.

Well, yes, I agree with you, there.

But I don’t think that Roadrunner’s post makes him one of them.
