Glenn Greenwald has an awesome slam of "Bush fans" who call themselves "conservatives", but seem to express no outrage at the abuse of government power, the rampant spending, and the excesses of the Bush administration:
The anti-government ethos espoused by Barry Goldwater and even Ronald Reagan is wholly unrecognizable in Bush followers, who – at least thus far – have discovered no limits on the powers that ought to be vested in George Bush to enable him to do good on behalf of all of us.
And in that regard, people like Michelle Malkin, John Hinderaker, Jonah Goldberg and Hugh Hewitt are not conservatives. They are authoritarian cultists. Their allegiance is not to any principles of government but to strong authority through a single leader.
From my dad, via my sister, with occassional intonations and translations:

you wei jia ren zai shui yi fang
lu cao qing qing bai wu mi2 li (spreads like a maze)
you wei jia ren kao shui er ju1 (lives by water)
wo yuan ni liu er shang

(Too bad there is a dangerous current in
front of me)
dao lu you yuan you chang
wo yuan shun liu er xia
(I would like to go down with the stream)
