What does Mr. Inglis mean by “Optimistic conservativism”?

From Inglis’ views and opinions it doesn’t seem that distinct or separable from ordinary, run of the mill, liberalism.

[Mr. Silverback]

He appears to believe two things, each of which mark him as a fool:

1. Criticizing Obama (indeed, being anyhting but his cuddly little pet) is hatred, rether than criticism.

2. Saying "this is wrong now, but we can make it much better" is deep pessimism.
