We are to hold still while our betters try to stuff us into a new box they have fabricated. Like schoolchildren, we are scolded again by our self-declared masters.

If a guy wants to kill his wife, it is his business. Who are we to think he should be slowed down? How dare we...

Besides, when Americans think of isms, they think -- at least they think first -- of how liberals and conservatives stand on social issues. A liberal backs abortion rights and gun regulations; a conservative wants to ban abortions and legalize all guns. By that measure, what has defined conservatism in the popular mind over the past couple of years has been its willingness to enlist government to block stem cell research, stop the teaching of evolution and supersede the duties of Terri Schiavo's husband.

Conservatives in Denial

It seems as if even the well-intentioned conservatives buy into the mantra pushed by the left and their pals, that the Terri Intervention meant it was bad to try to save Terri.

In our national politics, much, if not most of the noise, yelling, and fighting was coming from the Democrats, but the American people still remembered where the Republicans were wrong. They remembered the debacle over Terry Schiavo. They remembered the many scandals surrounding Abramoff. They saw Dennis Hastert stand up to the FBI when investigating a corrupt Democratic congressman, and they read about how the Republicans let a congressman prey upon the House pages with impunity.

After ‘change,’ who will lead the Republicans?
