In some ways, yes, actually. They aren't conservative in many of the ways that I think of "conservative" - particularly in terms of political philosophy. They agree with conservatives on a lot of things, so they are often very useful allies. But they _disagree_ with conservatives on quite a few things as well, I think. They just have a lower level of political salience right now, so they don't come up in political discussion much. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
