But the most compelling evidence that the Empire isn't evil comes in "The Empire Strikes Back" when Darth Vader is battling Luke Skywalker

And that sort of deluded thinking is what is completely wrong with what's left of 'conservatism'. Your statement unfortunately is spot on. How many would gladly accept a Chancellor Palpatine as long as he was on the 'right' side and whose actions would agree with their world view?

Many conservatives have morphed into what Libertarians (I am not one) have termed "Statists".

Aw, c'mon, man. It's just a movie.

But I have to admit I would sometimes prefer an Empire to what we have now, a half-ass socialist bureaucracy. At least an Empire is honest about its expansion. The EU and DC minions are simply fooling enough of the people all of the time now.

That said, I know full well that when that day comes, I'll be on the 'encase in carbonite' list.
