- Conservatives at birth? Are we talking genetics? Are we talking _Ubermensch_?

- Nothing lasts, friend, not even Rush Limbaugh. Ask any political analyst
- worth his salt, politics moves in cycles. FDR presided over four terms of
- liberalism. We've just ended three terms of conservatism, and the cycle
- has turned yet again.

- You know, every time I start to think conservatives are generally a smart
- bunch, common-sense if a little dry, a post like this comes up. Zingg!!!
- It's back to the old and VERY tired "love it or leave it" argument.
- I've been handed this one about ten times in the last week. Liberals hate
- capitalism, so why don't they move to the Evil Empire? I've responded to
- this kind of argument seriously and with humor, and there's just not much
- to say any more.
