Leading Off By Wick Allison, Editor In Chief

Actually, I think your comments makes his point even clearer. You conflate Republican with Conservative, and then suggest Democrats are the opposite of both, which is overly simplistic. In the sense suggested here, which I think is worth careful consideration, FDR was conservative as well because he was able to preserve the U.S. system, for better or worse, in the face of some horrific alternatives. Obama is clearly much better prepared than McCain to do something similar in the next few years. McCain is simply another thinly disguised Reaganite unable to see beyond narrow class interest, just like Hoover.

Righttt... a publisher of the National Review is a closet Democrat. Good analysis.

But I now see that Obama is almost the ideal candidate for this moment in American history. I disagree with him on many issues. But those don’t matter as much as what Obama offers, which is a deeply conservative view of the world.

I don't care what he is...if you think a true conservative would make this statement, then you need to shift that tinfoil hat of yours in another direction - your perception is bad.
