Oh, I get it. There is no definition of conservatism. Instead, conservatism is whatever our little fingers are pointing at when we say the word "conservatism".

"No rules, man! No one's layin' their plastic conservatism trip on me! Conservatism's, like, different for everyone, man, and we can all do our own thing and grok our own conservatism, dig? This whole power-trip idea that words have specific meanings and that people who, like, swear to God that they'll stay in some heavy marriage scene 'til death do they part is, like, fascism, man, and it's totally harshing my buzz!"

You could take it a step further. You ever hear the bumper music on these radio shows? Mark Levin’s themesong is some form of heavy metal. Contrast that to old William Buckley. His “Firing Line” theme was Bach (one of the Brandenburgs, as I recall.) I’ve always found it a little funny that conservative shows use such amoral music for their programs. But hey, that’s the slippery cultural slope, isn’t it?
