Anti-Climacus

LINK: This post by Poulos on the virtues of postmodern conservatism reminds me that I have it in mind to write a defense of non-postmodern conservatism, otherwise known as "modern conservatism:" John Locke isn't really that bad! You don't need deconstruction, you just need David Hume! Conservatism can engage meaningfully with liberalism! We don't need to be glib or ironic as default positions! etc etc (obviously, the generous use of emphatic punctuation marks will be an important feature, as will the gloriously extended sentence. Modern conservatives believe in the em-dash and the semi-colon.)
