Being a big government conservative doesn't bring Bush close to being a moderate, much less a liberal. On most issues, his position is standard conservative: a pro-lifer who expects to sign a ban on partial birth abortion, he's against stem-cell research and gun control, and has drawn the line at gay marriage.
Snow on the ground, crisp night air, groups of friends half-hidden in the steam rising from mugs of hot mulled wine, roast chestnuts, candlelight, and the kind of Christmas decorations we used to have before we discovered plastic and fluorescent green paint. That is Vienna in winter. It does get bitterly cold; itâs not uncommon to get down to -15 centigrade (5 Farenheit) on some days. Snow on the roads soon turns to brown slush. And if youâve any kind of profile on your shoes and boots, youâll end up picking bits of grit out of them for weeks to come. But itâs all worth it when the sun goes down and you wind your way through one of the Christmas markets. Christmas in Vienna has taste.
