This is awesome.  That whole book sounds awesome, Cain.

I actually knew exactly what the OP meant when he said that, too.

I really want to read this book. And I agree with the review. If things are so bad, and liberals are all for the ideals of the enlightenment, then why the accommodationism?

I also agree with the true nature of conservatism is to enable workplace power grips, the subjugation of women and ethnic minorities, and the building up of the super-rich. It is a fundamentally racist, mysogynist, xenophobic movement bent towards creating and growing inequalities. And the problem is that liberals aren't decent enough, that they aren't decent enough to get really angry about it.
