......and of course the usual suspects arrive here to prove the author's point, pound their chests with their self-proclaimed "real conservatism" and show the rest of us that we just don't get it.

What a shame that their sick need to demand an intangible purity could drag our country to depths beyond Clintonism and put us at far worse risk from our enemies than we are now. And they think they are virtuous????????

Thanks for the ping. I am not familiar with James Lileks but I know The Times-Picayune [New Orleans] newspaper. I'm surprised to see such a pro-Bush article from a anti-Bush city, however, I'm glad to see it.

And some conservatives will be happy to help, it seems

Yep, they are. Some folks are conservative because its the intelligent choice given so many valuable planks of the right-wing to individuals, society and America...... and because the right has overall moral coherency threaded throughout.

And then there are conservatives who seem as if they were simply lucky enough to have been born to a conservative family but are just as stupid, arrogant and with a sense of entitlement about their OWN pet causes as the rabid lefties. And they'll happily sink the entire right if their OWN pet causes aren't pandered to enough. Morons.

This is going to be a long thread, I think.
