Con-Cons

I came across a blog, Shining City Atop a Hill, that has a fantastic post about conservatives who have been conned. Conned: To swindle (a victim) by first winning his or her confidence; dupe. Conservative: A supporter of limited government and more personal freedom. The author seems to know a few people I've met in recent years.
The "Conned Conservative", as we like to call this hapless beast, is all around us but attempts to blend in with true conservatives. Here are some questions to ask yourself to see if you have a Con-Con in your midst.
Personally, I like President Bush, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with some of the things he's done, or not done. And I have no problem saying so when the mood strikes me. The same thing applies to any of my "representatives", state or national.
