Conservative = Bush Apologist?

Jonah Goldberg at the NRO:

It used to be that abortion, affirmative action etc defined who liberals would celebrate. Now, all it takes is going after Bush.

On the contrary, it used to be that corruption in the halls of the U.S. Capitol and White House was unacceptable across the political spectrum. Today, the blind allegiance conservatives hold toward Bush force them to make the bogus assumption that every action of "their man" Bush represents their conservative values.

On the surface this is much worse that just turning a blind eye to warrantless wiretaps, the detention of uncharged "enemy combatants," the torture of detainees in Iraq, the leaking of classified information for political purposes, etc; irregardless of the corruption, Bush is perhaps the most unconservative president in modern times. Since when are record deficits - increased spending plus large tax cuts - conservative? Unprovoked wars of choice? The claim of unchecked executive power?
