This Is Right

On the impulse of a liberal v. conservative
.

To me, the liberal impulse is basically: We Can Do Better. And the conservative impulse? Don't Make It Worse. ...Liberals appreciate the promise of the future; conservatives appreciate how rickety the accomplishments of the present are, and how easily what we think is safe can be destroyed.


Yes. Which makes the Iraq project ironic because it was a liberal impulse to invade and fix. I always called it a liberal war.
