Will,
Interesting article. I believe that if people on the "left" took the time to examine even an iota of economics - and not the crap from that hate-driven anti-semite Marx - they would understand what conservatism is about.
As such, most do not understand economics. For example, a much bandied word is "fascist". Such as "Bush is a fascist".
If only they understood that fascism stands for a state controlled economy - just like its sibling - socialism does.
Unfortunately, that dreadful word, fascism, was used by the Stalinists in order to discredit “national socialism” by labeling it “right wing” merely because it wasn’t what they wanted, which was international socialism.
Well, I don't want to go off on a rant, but...
