Liberalism and conservatism

What is liberalism today?

Negativity and destructiveness, reactiveness and resentment. A total lack of any useful thoughts about the problems of the day. Absence of rationality. Absence of patriotism.

What is (neo) conservatism today?

A simulacrum of rationality and patriotism. An ideology of world transformation based on jejune slogans divorced from reality. “Patriotism” to that ideology instead of to our country.

In short, the liberals offer nothing but negativism. The conservatives offer something positive, but it is false.
