Why so angry?
When I read this editorial I was immediately reminded of a quote by Joe Sobran:
"I find a certain music in conservative writing that I never find in that of liberals. Michael Oakeshott speaks of affection, attachment, familiarity, happiness. . .and my point is not the inane one that these are very nice things, but that Oakeshott thinks of them as considerations pertinent to political thinking. He knows what normal life is, what normal activities are, and his first thought is that politics should not disturb them."
Hear Sobran read it.
