Obviously, they are in panic at the idea that President Obama is pushing for the radical change this country needs---and they obviously care more about enriching their wallets than they care about the future of their own children and the future of our country and our planet. And how galling that they have highjacked the word "conservative" and twisted it to their own truly evil purposes. Thanks for this post, Jeff.

Being conservative has now become unattractive to many people who actually think for themselves when it should be something to be proud of. Coulter was making fun of electric cars on some talk show the other day. That's a conservative?
