Toryism Lives!
Derb tries to keep the flame alive in America:
We must revive the fine tradition of conservative pessimism. In this age, optimism is for children and fools. And liberals.
Some
children will be left behind. You cannot "remake the Middle East" or
"defeat evil." The poor will always be with us. Black and white will
never mingle together in unselfconscious harmony. Corporations will not
research and explore without hope of profit. Russia will not become
Sweden. Forty million immigrants speaking a single language will not
assimilate.
Conservatives used to know all this. Some — the infallibly sapient Roger Kimball, for example — still do. The smiley-faces are leading us to perdition. They must be shouted down.
Yes, we can!
No, you can't, you bloody fools.
