I've been enjoying very much the blogging of Glenn Greenwald, who's got a very well-done post up looking at what's going on with the contemporary "Conservative" heads:

[P]eople 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.

They love them that Daddy State, yes they do. The post is around 2800 words, and they're good ones.

Update: Greenwalkd responds to some responses. One of the most interesting bits is the quote he found from Bill Kristol (who's sort of the consiglere of neoconservatism) saying that "Bush was the movement and the cause."
