The anger on the right grows out of their loss and the loss of substance in an ideology they so believed in. Consider the failures since Reagan and it is clear conservatives cannot govern, they can only point fingers and assign blame to others. Do any of them, for instance, reflect on the failure of W and the fact he is the end product of their years of power? This will continue as now they can point fingers again as their own failures fade somewhat into the Texas desert.
1. Conservatism has failed.
"The overwhelming majority of the American public now sees the Bush administration as a failure. They failed in Iraq, they failed after Hurricane Katrina, they failed on health care, they failed to deliver rising wages, they failed on the deficit, they failed, they failed, they failed. Why? Liberals need to argue that it wasn’t a product of incompetence, it was a failure of conservative governance. As Alan Wolfe put it in a recent Washington Monthly article, “Conservatives cannot govern well for the same reason that vegetarians cannot prepare a world-class boeuf bourguignon: If you believe that what you are called upon to do is wrong, you are not likely to do it very well.”"
2. Conservatism is the ideology of the past—a past we don’t want to return to.
3. Conservatives are cowards, and they hope you are, too. WeÂ’re afraid, they shout.
