KOS writes, "Guys, this is significant," talking about this report, Leading Conservatives Call for Extensive Hearings on NSA Surveillance; Checks on Invasive Federal Powers Essential. If anything, that’s an understatement. This Administration is not Conservative in the tradition of the American Conservatives. It’s something else. They’ve borrowed the name, and coopted the votes, but they’re certainly spending, power grabbing, centralizing power like the Straw Man Liberals the Conservatives have always opposed.
It’s the real Conservatives that need to wake up here. We of the left can’t do it for them. They see everything we say as something of a trick. They’re going to have to wake up all by themselves and help us get these lunatics out of Washington so we can get back to our regular Liberal/Conservative bickering.
I never thought I’d miss them, but I do.
For years, there was a belief that "Communists" were using American Liberal establishments, and occasionally, that was probably true, though nowhere near as common as the right believed. It’s ironic that Whatever_Bush_and_Cheney_Are has now been able to pass off the kind of neofascism they’re practicing as "Conservative."
