Why It?s Embarrassing to Be a ?Conservative?

By Jonathan H. Adler

Professor Bainbridge lists ?ten things that make this conservative embarrassed by the modern conservative movement.?  I?m not as enamored with David Klinghoffer?s lament (see also here), nor would I equate Hugh Hewitt with Michael Savage, but I largely agree.

UPDATE: Of course it ain?t so hot to be a liberal either.

SECOND UPDATE: Patterico counters that Professor Bainbridge?s reasons ?turn out mostly to be reasons that conservatives should not support the Republican party ? a quite different proposition entirely.? (emphasis in original)

THIRD UPDATE: Mike Rappaport comments here.
