Flight from the Right

The leading lights of politically conservative thought in the US become ever more estranged from political conservatism itself. Andrew Sullivan still can't bring himself to be considered a liberal but he renounces the conservative movement once and for all here and notes the almost unimaginable departure of Little Green Footballs from the fold as well.

Other voices in the movement ranging from David Frum to David Brooks and George Will increasingly stake out positions of opposition to the crazed, reactionary hate beast the American political right has become.

Soon all that will be left is cynical careerists and the halfwit hordes of crazed tea-baggers they feed off.
