Because that speech he gave in 1964 wasn't in any way straight-on conservative. Or it could be that, even after reading my blog for as long as you have, you cling to your own cherished notions of what a conservative believes. Yeah…right.

Hell, Nixon would lose in a Democratic primary for being too liberal. We have now reached the point where a Republican congressman speaks fondly of the Taliban. No surprise there, the two organizations share a lot of common philosophy. But this shift is insane. Mussolini would be considered a moderate Republican now. And I, a former Republican, am somehow considered a radical left wing lunatic now. But if the Taliban is considered to be a good model for the Republican Party, then I'm glad to be an independent.
