I'm sorry -- You do raise a very valid point. However, I now have a hard time understanding what is meant by "conservative" in any case. Heck, Bill Clinton can go around calling himself a conservative and Pat Buchanan can call himself a liberal, and there is no basis for anyone to argue with them.

I suspect that this is a case of "whose ox is being gored" -- with a Democrat in the White House, media manipulation is an outrage; with a Republican in the White House, it must be part of a bigger plan.

Intellectual slothfulness. Pat answers run amok. Sly attempt to switch subjects.

Why am I not surprised? You're making a parody of yourself. So I'll get out of your way and just enjoy the show.

Can you give me a list of ten things that define a "conservative" philosophy? Five things? One?

Why are you jumping down Alberta's Child's throat? It seems a little over the top considering the situation. Many people don't trust the mass media, and with good reason.
