The National Review article by Kevin Williamson is a gem. The art of essay writing shines through it in its form, use of language, brevity, and inescapable meaning. Surely, he can't be a "conservative." He is too artful and creative!!

His mention of progressive's hostility toward social Darwinism brought to mind their contradictory view of insisting on Darwinian evolution as being settled science, and yet it ain't no good when applied to societal evolution or economic laws and practice. But, then, that may only be the little germ or kernel from which their entire and contradictory view of society and government has evolved. That little centralized command and control mentality is a regression beyond a self-absorbed 4 year old who only knows what he knows. A child, if free to grow and learn, can actually achieve a wisdom, ancient yet modern, that autocrats are afraid to comprehend.
