'Nuff said. As to 'what I thought was bunk'... it was this: "...Conservatives believe that the forces of modernity are by nature so powerful that they do not need anyone’s proactive efforts to egg them on. Rather, they need conservative forces to restrain them from destroying things that are essential to a civilized society. Conversely, liberals and libertarians believe that modernity needs a push from the proactive efforts of human beings to overcome the ossified structures of the past that hold it back from reaching its true potential." I regard that statement as a false dichotomy. Perhaps a useful formulation in the 'broad brush', but it falls apart completely in the details.
