I think George Will does not realize that while he may appear to himself to have small-c conservative philosophies, he is no longer, if he ever was, a conservative in practice ... in terms of what he would actually do in the real world.
Let me take it a little further.
George Will has no convictions whatsoever. He is a political takedown artist currently employed by the Republican establishment.
Every word he writes, every word he speaks on air is an attempt to promote the establishment and destroy all interlopers.
He is a practiced and accomplished liar, whether through omission, selective edits or out right.
As is Krauthammer, Kristol, Kelly, etc...
