The worst thing about being a modern pseudo-conservative in 21st Century USA is having to live with being wrong about EVERYTHING. From the Vietnam War to Panama to Iraq to Iran, from Nixon to Reagan to the Bush Royalty to Mittens, from economic theory vs. reality to trickle down to science vs. delusional religious fantasy to civil rights to women's rights to justice and democracy, American Conservatives have been on the wrong side of every issue in my lifetime. I suppose they will be able console themselves with having a .000 batting record but still owning the major media, all of corporate America, and being responsible for crushing the strongest empire in modern history. But still . . . . damn! Wouldn't you like to be right once in your lifetime?
