The thing I like best about being a conservative is that I don't have to lie
Andrew Klavan makes a case for telling the truth. His analysis has its merits but I will stick to being a reactionary; what I like best about being a reactionary is that I do not have to make sense (via Tim Blair).
The thing I like best about being a conservative is that I don't have to lie. I don't have to pretend that men and women are the same. I don't have to declare that failed or oppressive cultures are as good as mine.
Nor do I have to say that everyone's special or that the rich cause poverty or that all religions are a path to God. I don't have to claim that a bad writer like Alice Walker is a good one or that a good writer like Toni Morrison is a great one. I don't have to pretend that Islam means peace.
