This is almost funny. “Conservatism”, whatever that means, has been anti-intellectual from the beginning. Wasn’t it Wm. F. Buckley who said conservatives have no ideology? They’re like a bunch of no-nothings. And the Libertarians (or “libertinians”) often come across as children who wonder why they can’t just do whatever they want with no standards by which to determine whether what they want is good for them or not. You’re not going to defeat today’s “Liberals” with slogans or folksy wisdom or appeals to tradition. You need a coherent rational philosophy. The author of the book pictured at the beginning of your article made an inspiring beginning. What will you do with it?
