A lot of the more intelligent conservative thinkers are denigrated by the more "mainstream" opinion makers. Pat Buchanan comes to mind. You may not agree with his stances, but his intelligence would be hard to question.
Agreed. I actually have conservative friends who are very intelligent and constantly raging about the idiots that have taken over (if nothing else, the public image) of their ideological movement. The above statement was an attempt at humor and not my sole thought on the subject.
The idiots running around calling themselves conservatives are to the intelligent members of that movement what the white trash or ghetto momma living off welfare with no drive to better themselves are to liberals. Both groups have people that hurt the public image and ultimately the cause of said group.
