Some views are liberal. Some views are conservative. Some views are neither.

11. Notice that I used the words "may be suggesting"

I was reading something in your post that you may or may not have intended.

I don't believe "conservatives" are defined by the media. They define themselves. Ed Schultz right now is making a righteous rant about Congressman Mike Coffman saying that he doesn't know whether or not President Obama is a citizen but he knows that in his heart President Obama is not an American. The Congressman was interviewed on the subject and the Congressman said he apologized but wouldn't say what he is apologizing about or to whom he is making the apology. Ed is saying that this guy will continue making comments like this. This is who "conservatives" are.

Ed is right.

I don't buy your statement about "another era's conservatives". What other era are you talking about? Are you trying to refer to Barry Goldwater or William F. Buckley? Are you referring to Ronald Reagan? Herbert Hoover? John Adams?

Who?

I don't buy it. I would agree with Thom Hartmann who says that "conservatives" go through these cycles where they collectively go over the edge and I would add to that my theory about their hatred of "Liberal". The hatred extends beyond their hatred of "Liberal" of course. But this hate is toxic and it literally makes them fascist. The moderate Republicans are totally eclipsed by this hatred. Occasionally a David Frumm or a David Brooks pokes his head out their pit of hatred, but they're affected as well.

This has nothing to do with Cory Booker. He is a left leaning moderate and in no event would he be considered conservative.
