I think they’re pretty much stunned that you’re criticizing Glenn, Charles. They’re shallow enough to think that you’re going to be a lockstep conservative.

We’re all “moderates” of some stripe; any ideology, taken to its extreme, sucks, and everyone is willing to follow that ideology so far, but no farther. (Glenn Beck is starting to look like the distressing exception.) Conservatism was starting to veer into right-wing libertarianism for a while there, which fails to appeal to a lot of people.
As David Frum said, if a goverment official says that goverment doesn’t work, people will elect someone who says they will make it work.

When conservatism finds the right level of ideology to make the majority of Americans comfortable, it’ll come back into power- that, and the Democrats will go too far for the majority of people to feel comfortable with them. It’s way too early for that to happen. Obama’s policies literally have not had enough time to fail. Hysterics at this point are, at best, useless. I know it’s hard to get it in an eight-hour news cycle world, but if the conservatives want to get back into power they need to sit down, shut up, and give Obama enough time and rope to hang himself. And bluntly, that might be eight years of time. Patience. Everything moves in cycles.
