It is odd you see this as abstruse. I find it clear and well written. The first section is very neo, the second less so.

To understand the Paleo case requires familiarity with Greek and Roman thought and the development of the European legal and religious tradition, and an historical imagination far beyond that associated with the standard version of history. (Called the "Whig version of history" by some Paleos, though the wit behind this description is lost on most.)

If you are of curious nature, interested in how things actually work, and seek the truth, the Paleo tradition has much to offer.

The natural exrtension of the paleo-conservative mindset is a ruling elite.

Moreover it is a ruling elite based on class, not ability.

This is anathma to American principles.

France is governed by a ruling elite, the European union is governed by a ruling elite; that should be enough said.

The proof is in the pudding: paleos seem to be more than a little too comfortable with the idea of fascist dictators such a Francisco Franco for my peace of mind.

No fair using references and allusions beyond the ken of the fuzzy-minded.
