And most conservatives have capitulated on just about everything else of importance, including welfare; the hyper-growth of government; Patriot II, the Dept. of Homeland Security and the new police state; gays in the military; race-mixing and affirmative action; sex-ed and "alternative lifestyle" indoctrination in elementary grades; and gigantic, globalist, multiculti UNESCO education (No Child Left Behind).

No surprise about one group's orientation.
