Extreme Makeover - Liberalism relabeled as Heroic Conservatism

Heroic Conservatism - Why Republicans Need to Embrace America's Ideals

(And Why They Deserve to Fail If They Don't)

In Heroic Conservatism Gerson uses his own experiences in the upper tier of the Bush White House to show why America needs a conservatism that is heroic in its aspirations�including "compassionate conservative" proposals to confront global AIDS, combat poverty in America, and promote human rights and dignity abroad�initiatives that Gerson fought for during his time in government.

I laughed, I cried... :rofl:

Can you smell the desperation?

1. Jon Stewart pointed out to Gerson...

the other night that what he's describing is Liberalism. The self-delusion of the cons never ends.

2. Stewart said "You're describing the Democratic Party"

And the audience cheered.
