Healthy Skepticism
As Joe mentioned yesterday, a lot of conservatives are down on the New York Times’ choice of Ross Douthat as the latest edition to their opinion page. Liberal praise for Douthat’s “healthy skepticism for many of the trappings of modern capitalist society” probably won’t help matters. ~Jim Antle
That last sentence speak volumes. What better time than now to have a prominent conservative voice offering “healthy skepticism for many of the trappings of modern capitalist society” in a major national newspaper? What sort of sane conservatism can exist that doesn’t already have a “healthy skepticism for many of the trappings of modern capitalist society”? What does it say about all these conservatives who are so “down” on Ross that they would find this healthy skepticism to be a reason to disapprove of him? Nothing good, I’ll wager.
