Hat tip to FReeper Verginius Rufus for finding this article. It is a very good read. I was too lazy to post this last night.

Why does the author talk about “classical liberalism” and “the left” as if they’re polar opposites?

A fantastic article. Worth reading here, too, in the time of Washington gone made.

...the party has over the years purged from its ranks all voices of classical liberalism and has explicitly rejected values-based narratives in favor of an ill-defined pragmatism. This has proved no match for the ideological assault by the left, which ended up monopolizing the marketplace of ideas in the universities and the other educational establishments of the country.

"The fall of Rome," wrote Seneca, "took place when Rome's pragmatism ceased to be pragmatic."

Hmm... sounds familiar.

If the conservative government falls, it’s exactly what the leftist agitators wanted!
