It seems that idealistic Conservatives under Bush are treated in the same manner as idealistic Liberals under Clinton, which is to say they were marginalized in favor of the interests of professional pan-handlers (also known as "Washington lobbyists").
The name Marshall Whitman is no doubt familiar with my esteemed Conservative readership, since he was a driving force alongside Newt Gingrich and the accompanying Conservative resurgence.
My esteemed Conservative readership might be interested to know that Marshall now spends a lot of his time railing against the unabashed corruption of Mr. Tom DeLay and yesterday's moral champions:
Sleazo-Cons
A society organized around money will undoubtedly be corrupted by money, since political power draws strength from inequity, and money assures that inequity will flourish. If you think about it, it is really surprising that society exists at all when money rewards selfishness, violence, and greed above all other virtues.
Perhaps this is a testament to the high moral standards of past politicians?
I have to say that it alarms me to see how quickly the knights in shining armor (the righteous right) have indentured themselves to the dragons. I never even witnessed an attempt to don the armor of principles.
Here also is an article by none other than David Brooks, who apparently feels there is more Conservative than Conscience in the machinations of Delay, Reed, and Norquist:
Tisk, Tisk, Tisk
It is nice to see some intellectual honesty coming from conservatives these days. Ends do not justify means when goals are trampled.
