Conservativism is maybe not dead but it smells really bad
When Christopher Buckley comes out in support of Obama it is a sign that the Conservative movement has no heir. It is over. Time to try something new.
Or perhaps it is time to try having government actually be conservative for a change. Let's face it. We have not seen, fiscal, social, or any other sort of conservativism for the past eight years. Bush has been the biggest liberal I've ever seen. Bush has imposed more government control than any other president in history.
Taxation, no problem! We tax the hel1 out of the middle class and use the government to eliminate equity while moving as much wealth into the hands of the few as possible.
I don't think Obama is the solution to this but I do think I'd rather have his brand of "Conservativism" than Bush's.
I know that at least Obama admits that the government has a role to play and he will not try to dismantle the government while at teh same time use it for every nefarious purpose under the sun.
Vote for Bob Barr!
