It's always easy to blame all our problems on one ideology or another but that in itself represents shallow thinking and an inability to comprehend the complex interplay of politics, culture, history and human nature. Problems arise with extremism on one side or another. Bush is no more liberal then Reagan - big spending is not the only definer of liberalism and small government is not the only definer of conservatism and authoritarianism is firmly entrenched in both extremes. The conservative ideal of a "unitary executive" has taken a definate authoritarian bent under the Bush administration which is in the end - conservative on everything but fiscal responsibility.Remember - "conservatism" likes the status quo. At one time the status quo was no franchise for women, no property for women and slavery.
