this is what conservatism has always been. what is new here? a new way of calling people that you don't agree with names?

My very libertarian Father-in-law is a wellspring of this kind of thing, including the whole light bulb obsession mentioned in the article. I remember going to visit him one year and his going out to get some groceries one afternoon. When he returned to the house, he made a big show of the half dozen boxes of incandescent light bulbs he purchased. Better get 'em now, he warned us, before the government takes them away.

Jesus Christ, is that the hill you want to die on?
