OK, first of all, you should have warned us that its a page for the "Decembrist". Despite this insane name, I read the first few pages. He characterizes people as "serious conservatives" etc. etc. etc. in order to use their words of desparation to send up the signal.
He also acknowledges that most conservative commentators like Will are not sounding an alarm. My guess is that Will, like most Americans, is trying to make sure we are all alive next year to debate social programs (and hopefully end or limit most of them).
He also acknowledges that there is no concept of liberalism left after it was destroyed in the mid-90's. In fact, the irony that Bush & Co. have taken up where Conservatives made the liberals get off might be his central point in one of his pieces.
Who did you guys run for President again? Among the other reasons I'd tolerate Dean over our current contenders, is because you know exactly where he's coming from (straight Liberal). The choice we are left with without him is this current horrible, but easy, choice. We don't know where either of these clowns really stands on anything because Bush lies and Kerry promises things domestically that he could never deliver and shouldn't be attempting to deliver. But Bush is just crazy enough to go after our enemies wherever feasible. Amen.

Congratulations. You've taken a relatively serious post about where the conservative movement is headed, whatever happens in this election, and responded to it by pointing out that you like Bush more than Kerry because he's "just crazy enough." And you think this refutes Schmitt's point that the conservative movement is bankrupt.
