An overdue realignment?

Jarvis confused about liberals and conservatives
Quoting from Why conservatives should kill the FCC and...
Amen to that. Are you listening, Rebecca? I don't know where all these freedom-loving "true conservatives" are but I think Jarvis drank the kool-aid when he believed that these right-wing campaigns have ever been anything but selectively applied (just like the love of states' rights and against "activist judges" seems to apply only when conservative culture mores are under threat). I think the people who want more freedom are generally called "liberals" or perhaps "libertarians."No one should know this more than conservatives — who have spent years fighting politically-correct speech codes on college campuses and elsewhere. In the end, giving government power to define what is appropriate and acceptable may be as — or more — obnoxious to conservatives as to liberals.
