The fraternity culture of the faux-tough young Liberals?
Bil Leak
They've shifted very much to the right in the last decade firmly deepening the cultural divide with the Left. So we have a party crowd cheering their charismatic Daddy-figure, calling for torture and detention camps celebrating war, urging still more surveillance and limitless government power to defend us from the Muslim terrorist. A arnival crowd that still thinks highly of Howard as their standard bearer of Australian conservatism, and who has led them to epic success and bought glory to them.
They have yet to disown him in an act of self-preservation--so unlike what has happened to George Bush, whose Presidency has collapsed and lays in ruins, and who has is now seen to have been an epic failure. The faux-tough young Liberals are misnamed--they are conservatives not liberals. Those who are not true conservatives are deemed to be liberals.
