Conservative Hatred of Liberal Anger

Orcinus had a long essay on what is happening on wingnut blogs.

His more recent entry is about his political evolution and how conservatism has morphed from old-fashioned solid values to rampant corporatism with increasingly fascist overtones. He has many conservative friends and often voted for moderate Republicans. No more, I believe he thinks the GOP has shown it cannot be trusted with power.

"I no longer much trust in the moral strength of my conservative friends. Whereas once I believed that the basic decency of average, mainstream conservatives was more than an adequate bulwark against the possibility of right-wing fascism from ever manifesting itself, I have been forced to conclude that, when swept along by the combination of a movement and the fearmongering of public officials, they are as susceptible to doing the wrong thing as their ancestors were in 1942, when they shipped off 110,000 Japanese Americans to concentration camps."
