Huh? Why is it stupid? I think from the beginning Pat always assumed that conservatism was fundamentally a fascist-leaning movement. He never understood the fundamental differences between Conservatism and Fascism and still doesn't.
I guess I believe your thinking is as flawed as that of the pseudo-conservative opportunists that now infest the GOP.
