THE CONSERVATIVE FUTURE?

Der Spiegel points to an interesting irony: if the Christian Democrats and Free Liberals form the next German government, as the polls suggest, Germany will have as its top two leaders a woman and a married homosexual. All in support of more flexible employment laws, lower spending and lower taxes. Meanwhile, American conservatives are busy barring gays from marrying and serving their country and keeping women out of military combat. Max Boot has some smart comments on that.
