It is instructive to consider that Sandra Day O'Connor is considered by many in the religious right a traitor to the conservative cause. Allegedly, she had the 'right' perspective when she was first appointed to the court 25 years ago, but has since moved toward the middle.
My sense is that the middle has moved (or been dragged, kicking and screaming), not Ms. Day-O'Connor.
If the Conservative movement in American politics is most accurately represented by those with a far right ideology, is it accurate to call it 'conservative'? I think they should own up to their ideology - and adopt a term that the public understands: fundamentalist.
