Conservatism is just going down the tubes. It is overrun with corruption, sex scandals, general hypocrisy and even scumbaggery - which is defined as a heinous act of breathtaking and backstabbing treachery. The latest example is Regnery Publishing, a Washington imprint of Conservative books, which is now being sued by five of its authors. They are charging that the company deprives its writers of royalties by selling their books at a steep discount to book clubs and other organizations owned by the same parent company.
In a suit filed in United States District Court in Washington yesterday, the authors Jerome R. Corsi, Bill Gertz, Lt. Col. Robert (Buzz) Patterson, Joel Mowbray and Richard Miniter state that Eagle Publishing, which owns Regnery, "orchestrates and participates in a fraudulent, deceptively concealed and self-dealing scheme to divert book sales away from retail outlets and to wholly owned subsidiary organizations within the Eagle conglomerate."
In other words, they are being true conservatives. How many scandals do we need before people realize that those who preach the most are hiding something? Social conservatism is a mask for wrongdoing. People are drawing attention to this mask and screaming, "look at me - look how good, holy and pure I am. I am a role model." As people are diverted by the facade, they rob you blind and have sex on bathroom floors. Isn't it time for the conservative movement to slink away in shame and put up a sign that says "Out of Business"? We already know they are out of their minds.

The GOP is morally bankrupt, has no moral authority or superiority. It doesn't believe in government and doesn't believe in equality, permits perjury without prosecution, suspends habeus corpus in time of war, approves of torture, rendition, doesn't believe in raising taxes on the rich, doesn't want 47 million people to have access to health care unless its employer based and only wants insurance companies to manage health care. What kind of a democracy is that? Capitalism at its worst! Sounds more like a fascist state.

Unfortunately, Robert, the Dems are only somewhat better. I've been a life-long Democrat, having voted for a Republican once in 1980--john anderson. Since then, it just gets harder and harder to care. I fear where our country has been going since 1994,(or 1980) fear for my friends' children, fear for my youngdr friends, and hope that the whole thing doesn't go kerblooey in the 20-30 years I probably have left.
