Patience, friends. What these guys don’t realise, is they are creating a large intellectual movement in young people towards conservatism. Since the young are by nature contrarian, the thing they will contravene is liberalism, and its choke hold on discourse. This essay is great example.

I can be optimistic, can’t I?

Actually, I think you're right. Kids can spot a buffoon quite readily and you can bet that these buffoons are turning more kids into conservatives than they are into liberals.

Nice 'unintended consequence', I would say.

Good point. One young guy who can write like this is more effective than 50 brain-dead leftist campus rabble-rousers.
