John Roberts a Conservative? It Is Rather Doubtful
John Roberts a Conservative? It Is Rather Doubtful
Just how “conservative” is Supreme Court Chief Justice nominee John Roberts, anyway?
It seems I have heard all the usual “conservatives” expressing their confidence in Bush to pick a “true conservative” for the next Supreme Court justice. Names like Jerry Falwell, Rush Limbaugh, David Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Lou Sheldon, Dhimmi Hugh Hewitt come to mind as part of the “hallelujah chorus” singing Roberts’ and Bush’s praises in this manner.
However, in the shadows, there lurk a few who are not so easily persuaded that either Bush is trustworthy in this matter or that Roberts is conservative.
Ann Coulter was, perhaps, the first to raise a strong voice that she doubted Roberts’ bona fides. Then, Ann did it again. And again. Next WND’s Joseph Farah expressed his doubts. And again. And yet again. Benjamin Shapiro also expressed his lack of enthusiasm for Judge Roberts.
Now, Joseph Farah has expressed even stronger misgivings about Roberts – as has Vox Day.
I am beginning to “smell a fish” in the White House when it comes to doing ANYTHING that might POSSIBLY pass for genuinely “conservative”.
I suspect that the real powers “behind the throne” are Laura Bush and George Herbert Walker Bush – neither of whom have EVER been accused of being conservative.
Conservative Christians – we have been had! (But we were had because we WANTED to be had!)

Good morning:) Neither Bush Sr, nor Jr are conservative in any manner really, except that they go to church and espouse family values. I don't consider the Tri-lateral Commission conservative, nor the trade agreements made, nor allowing illegals to over run our country. The problem is that as voters, we aren't really given very good choices I think and he (JR) was the best choice.
Hey, sk! Excellent points all! Very perceptive. Hmm wonder why we don't ever seem to get a better choice? -- gunjam
Cuz nobody that's any good wants the damn job!
sk: That is pretty funny -- and sad at the same time!
