BOB KUTTNER IS WORRIED. He’s afraid that we’ve reached an ideological tipping point in favor of conservatism.

Funny, a reporter just asked me that as part of an interview, which in a way is evidence that Kuttner may be right. On the other hand, he seemed to think that I am a conservative, and that InstaPundit is part of the tipping. Well, if I am I’m a pro-cloning, pro-gay-marriage conservative who wants to see Mars made earthlike and settled by humans. If that’s conservatism, I’m your man!

And that underscores the problem. Conservatism, as that term is used by a lot of people, doesn’t mean much more than skepticism toward, well, the likes of Bob Kuttner. So if it triumphs, will it really be that huge a change? For Bob Kuttner, maybe.
