Maybe conservatives should be more worried about the actual freaks in their midst *cough* John Birch Society, anti-gay bigots, Dominionists *cough* rather than imaginary Communist plots hatched through blue eyeshadowed Mao ornaments.

Good God, the conservative movement in this country is dead.

Not so much; Conservatism is probably more popular now than it has ever been. But 1) it’s become very mainstream, with entire hordes of people demanding fiscal restraint on the part of government, so it doesn’t stand out as a separate thing so much anymore, and 2) it’s an ideology in search of a party, which has always been the case.

The GOP, on the other hand, may be in serious trouble over the next several years.
