Obviously, I see the immediate legal issue...But the irony remains precisely so. Manionites bled money left and right to spread the Goldwater fever: conservatism was the end that justified the means.
WND, etal, who claim that modern version of the mantle, are using conservatism as the means to make the end buck.
See the contrast? The entire legal/economic framework of the conservative movement and the building divorce from the GOP is becoming a complete farce.
