Yup. 100%. I see a very dangerous trend in modern "conservatism"(i.e. not the real thing). You take a tenuous connection(Nazism and socialism, Nazism and darwinism) and play it for all that it's worth with people that don't know any better. That's straight out of the "useful idiots" playbook and it scares me.

Yup. The anti-intellectualism so prevalent now among many so-called "conservatives" is truly frightening. The great conservative intellects of the past, like Edmund Burke and Russell Kirk, would be horrified by many of the people who today claim to be their heirs.

It's called fundamentalism.
