“are a conservative exactly the same way that a person who empties a can of beans into a pot, heats it up an serves it, is a “cook” — so profoundly mistaken in fundamental principle as to be a fraud”

I call those of this ilk “convenient conservatives.” So long as it is convenient, then they are conservative, however if they get an opportunity push their particular brand of tyranny that is emotionally appealing for them then they are willing to dump conservative principles.

The population on FR seems to be growing.

Yep. It's one of the main reasons I dumped Laura Ingraham, and reject out of hand Mike Huckabee: both are in favor of laws to outlaw smoking pretty much anywhere in public because, gosh darn it, they just hate it so much!
