Christopher Chantrill has written a brilliant piece contrasting two opposing views on what American conservatives should do to improve their lot. Our conservative friend from Canada, David Warren says to start the revolution. British liberal Daniel Finkelstein recommends throwing Sarah Palin and the other lowbrows over the side and buddying up to the liberal media.
Read Chantrill's article here: Who's Out of Touch. Here is an excerpt that neatly summarizes his thesis:
The awful truth about liberalism is its central delusion, the notion that life can be neatly organized into rational bureaucratic programs. It turns everything it touches into a soulless clanking monster.The glorious truth about conservatism is its love of life. Before princes, principalities and powers comes life and love, mothers and babies, children and families, struggle and sacrifice, a city on a hill.
