The intellectual debility of contemporary conservatism is indicated by its silence on all important matters.
From Christopher Lasch
Conservatives unwittingly side with the social forces that contribute to the destruction of traditional values.
The left sees nothing but bigotry and superstition in the popular defense of the family or in popular attitudes regarding abortion, crime, busing, and the school curriculum.
Progressive rhetoric has the effect of concealing social crisis and moral breakdown by presenting them as the birth pangs of a new order.
The reporting of news has to be understood as propaganda for commodities, and events by images.
The left dismisses talk about the collapse of family life and talks instead about the emergence of the growing new diversity of family types.
Traditionalists will have to master techniques of sustained activism formerly monopolized by the left.
We are all revolutionaries now, addicts of change.
Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize.
The job of the press is to encourage debate, not to supply the public with information.
