They are ready for this gambit. Look at some of the libs they have tried to foist on the public as "conservatives". All they need to do is define the extreme left as the middle and the leftist RINOs will qualify as "uberConservative".

Everyone to the Right of Marx will be labelled an "extremist".

They already label us that way. I've pointed out many times how peculiar it is to claim that people who have not changed their opinions on Social Morality or Fiscal Policy for the last 50 years, are extremists? It is the nation which has moved to the left, while the normal people haven't moved at all.

In any case, I think we could win that fight if we had the proper attitude; One of attacking faux conservatives as a central component of every interview or opinion circle. If every time a conservative went on the air they made a remark about fake conservatives such as "Kathleen Parker" or "David Frum" it would eventually have the effect of calling the question in the public mind. Once they are outed as imposters, their effectiveness is nill.

More worrisome is the tendency of conservatives to go squishy when put under social pressure by liberals. Nowadays it has become gauche to say anything derogatory about queers. Ann Coulter is even losing her way.

The abandonment of Moral Absolutes by the Left is what has made the whole confusion: what is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, period. There are definite and enduring standards out there, and have been for well over 2000 years. The abandonment of those cultural and religious standards for 'if it feels good do it' and 's ituation ethics' has led to the corruption of generations who base morality on convenience, profit, and personal sensation more than a distinct standard. (Yes, there are greedy Leftists, too!--probably more of them.)

That corruption makes possible the sort of leftward movement which places the likes of John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey to the right of many Republicans today.

I agree that faux conservatives need to be exposed for what they are, and I fully expect to see more of them on TV and in print as the election cycle grinds on. The normal Ministry of Propaganda types are losing effect across the viewable spectrum (what does get exposure, generally from the interplanetary Left to the RINO herd) in the Mass Media.

As for what Liberals and Leftists think, for that matter, totalitarians of any stripe, It only matters to me in that it gives me insight as to how to defeat their nonsense.

Having seen what passes for right and wrong with that crowd, I am only concerned if they are in agreement with me.
