Oxymoronic left-liberalism

...sordid idealism, bigoted tolerance, mindless expertise, moralistic permissiveness, dogmatic agnosticism, mainstream extremism, rigidly uniform diversity, radically elitist equality, totally administered freedom and compulsory established rebellion.
Like Donald Clarke wrote about heavy-metal music, picking on the Catholic faith including championing some upper-middle-class cause that’s now fashionable like gay weddings is the ultimate in phoney rebellion.

From Stony Creek Digest via The Western Confucian.

what is ‘tolerant conservatism’?
Charity and discretion about people’s failings while at the same time not making excuses for those vices either.

Don’t ask, don’t tell, we give you your space and God forgives but we don’t teach that it’s not a sin.
 - The man who named it
