Two primary errors of modern liberalism are a fundamental misunderstanding of human nature and an inability to learn from history.

Doesn't that just about cover everything?

"Are there any among us who do not know how that turned out?"

Yes there are. Many. In your own words:

"...liberals seem oblivious to the lessons of history."

“Regarding the second error, liberals seem oblivious to the lessons of history, especially as they apply to dealing with despots and savages.”

A very good analysis, but here I must disagree with the author, not that he is wrong, but that he is incomplete. That statement is only true if the despot is a Leftist (Communist) or otherwise anti-American. Liberals froth at the mouth when it comes to any national leader who is imperfect and who is a friend of the United States (think Pinochet, Chaing kai-Shek, or the Shah of Iran). Then no punishment, no criticism, is strong enough.

So, too, with Liberalism’s internal oppostion, we Conservatives. Quite frankly, they hate us. We are not merely misguided, or mistaken in our opinions, we are eeeevil; racists, homphobes, etc., etc. Liberals spend far more of their time and energy defaming Conservatives and their own country than they have ever given over to opposing such thugs as Stalin, Mao, Castro and, now, the miltiant Islamists. They are truly blind and stupid.
