Quote of the day "...the modern left has abandoned liberals who want to reform society to make it more inclusive to everyone. Instead, they want to punish anyone on the "wrong side of history" and destroy the institutions necessary for our shared prosperity as a means of balancing history's scales." by Jon Davis, American Conservative If people haven't been paying attention, modern conservatives, as in the new wave of younger conservatives, make up several distinct but complementary ideological groups.
