Random thoughts: Conservatism is getting weird these days. My favorite conservative of all time is William F. Buckley, and George Will is at best a pale imitation.

Something like 80-90% of Americans think abortion should be legal in some circumstances and about the same percent think that homosexuality should not be a crime.

In a way, I blame Ronnie. He brought all these Religious Right weirdos into the Big Tent, and they started putting their feet on the furniture and spitting into the potted palms and acting like they belong there, instead of a sideshow of their own.

In the meantime, abortion and homosexuality have become so accepted in the Main Stream that only a very small percentage of Americans want to make it illegal for other Americans to do something they personally may not like or approve of.

If you want to change people's morals, the place to do it is in the pulpit, not the polling place. Especially in California.

Best to focus on fiscal conservatism.
