There are plenty of conservatives, who believe deeply in traditional conservative values, who reject the authoritarian tendencies of the “neo-cons”. Read John Dean’s _Conservatives Without Conscience_, which was inspired by his hero Barry Goldwater’s _The Conscience of a Conservative_. He was trying to figure out what these people were, because they sure weren’t conservatives.

He’s been sucking up to Obama since the election. Nothing new here.
