I honestly, though incorrectly, thought that during the great and glorious reign of the Keyan Muslim Socialist Usurper, that conservatives might actually serve some useful purpose. I figured they might, for example, turn stupid airport security theater into a cause, but despite Drudge's regular pushing of the "Big Sis" theme for Napolitano, they don't much seem to care. I guess it's because while they themselves don't want to the hassle, they do know that Other People certainly deserve it.
Oh well.
