“Defenders of liberalism had better be conservative about human nature - or else. “

As long as the author means modern liberalism, the problem is they cannot be conservatives about human nature. If they were, they would not be liberals.

All modern liberalism is rooted in a Rosseauian view of human nature that makes almost no sense. To be realistic about human nature would require liberals to change every view they hold dear.

Sam Huntington Was Plainly Correct

Yes! Sam Huntington was correct. And every Freeper should take the time to read The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order".

It's essential reading to give the reader the background to understand what really behind some of the struggles going on today. I recommend and encourage everyone who hasn't already read this book to get it, read it, and loan it out to all your friends. Essential Reading!

I went to college with Rod Dreher. I didn’t know him, but I remember his byline in the student newspaper.
