The only thing I denigrate is authoritarianism, and there is plenty of that on the left and right. The left certainly has no monopoly in it...
No, since we can never become as conservative as America was before the 1960s, you clearly dislike traditional America, and then you continue the fight to move us left, by attacking the diluted conservatism of today, as “authoritarianism” even while we try to fight an authoritarian left which is close to total victory as marriage is destroyed, abortion routine, gays are marrying in the military, immigration is way beyond out of control, and all the rest of the left’s dreams and goals are being realized.
