I see what you’re saying. I think the problem is in conflating uber-social conservatism & the kind of aggressive gov’t expansionism/imperialist leanings of our dearly departed g.bush with the kind of purer (or more historically relevant?) tenets of conservatism like a free market, limited federal authority, etc. I guess the right is particularly complicated right now, so it’s all getting the bad rap for you know, all that vitriol and bullshit that keeps us gays from our inalienable rights. we just need better, more articulable nuanced political identities that aren’t squashed all the time by our two party system. squash squash squash.
