I've come to the conclusion that more often than not, "conservatism," "real conservative," and "true conservative" are simply euphemisms for a type of identity politics. That's how I now see it.

I agree with you 100% on this. I just find it downright laughable when a big-government hack like William Kristol publicly denounces the nomination of Miers for not being "conservative enough."

That's the equivalent of having a bloated slob like Ted Kennedy complain that she isn't thin enough and might have a drinking problem.

LOL. I totally agree AC, it's hypocritical.

The term "conservatism" has been dumbed down to mean anything, or nothing.

And you are backing the nomination because Bush nominated her or because she is the "most qualified? I suspect it is because Bush nominated her and you trust him. Admirable, if naive.

If Bill Kristol is a "Big Government Hack"....what the hell is George W?
