Republicans are not Conservative

Townhall.com :: Columns :: Free speech on life support by George Will - Apr 16, 2006:
Candice Miller, R-Mich., said that restricting 527s would combat ``nauseating ugliness, negativity and hyperpartisanship.'' Oh, so that is what the First Amendment means: Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech unless speech annoys politicians.
I have tired to use the terms Democrat, Left and Liberal to make distinctions such as Democrats are OK, but liberals are not and Leftist are the Enemy. The same goes with "The Right." There are two major kinds of Conservatives: Religious and philosophical. Libertarians have a similar dichotomy: libertines and Libertarians in the mold of Charles Murray and Boortz. Republicanism is a way that some on the right align themselves for the purpose of political party voting, but that does not mean that we agree philosophically.

These distinctions aside, there is a major difference between Dems and Repubs -- or there should be. The Dems a party of people whose political ideology stems from Relativism. They do not always know that, of course, but that is the philosophical foundation. The Republicans are the opposite -- or should be.

This bill is a Liberal bill. It abandons good valid principles to adapt to a unique situation to affect a result that is good for a minority. It is controlling, paternalistic and disgusting.

What will happen this fall? The best we can hope for is another crop of R-politicians like we had in '94. That is unlikely since we are the Majority. Probably people will vote for candidates who say the right things, but have no chance of winning and we will lose the Majority in the Senate. If this happens, though, maybe that will allow some Conservatives to win the next round.
