A conservative with a soul.
What's wrong with this picture?Andy Sullivan's book presumes the existence of the conservative soul, a presumption that is demonstrably false. In its essence, conservatism is as soulless as it is mindless-- an endless, futile quest for, as John Kenneth Galbraith put it, "a superior moral justification for selfishness." And to the true, soulless conservative, government exists only to facilitate the pursuit of self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment; hence no lie is too big, no slander too vile if it supports that pursuit.
Damn, I'm pissed.
