APOSTACY

I have some favorite conservatives who are or or not republicans.

I don't know.

I have just respected their opinions and ways of presenting them.

One would be Andrew Sullivan who can drive me nuts but not drive me away.

Another is Kevin Phillips.

Phillips has a new book and it is a stunner.

'American Theocracy,' by Kevin Phillips: Clear and Present Dangers

Here he reveals the extent of failure in the conservative movement and its cooptation by the religious right.

As he presaged the great conservative wave 40 years ago, he may now be prophesying (and playing a part in) its decline and fall.

Unless he and others like Bruce Bartlett are too late.

I remember that I didn't want his first book to be true.

Now, I am hoping that the bushers et al. do not want this one to be true.
