I'm afraid I must disagree. There are some good points in this article, but there are also many bad ones, and some clear fallacies. It's not obvious to me that social conservatism (using the author's term)has in fact failed, but if it has, I'm glad. When you get right down to it, the socialists of the left and the socialists of the right aren't very different: They're both the enemies of free people.
