Moral Degenerate. I’ve been too busy to post here much, so it’s Greatest Hits time. Over the past two weeks alicublog has had some popular items, but the one I liked best addressed an essay by young Republican Matthew Continetti. His essay sought to revive old-fashioned conservative moral dudgeon by clamping to the breast of the movement contemporary heroes to which it had no demonstrable ties, except that heroism is, in the minds of such people, a conservative possession by squatters’ rights. It ties in a way to my post about CPAC — but let’s take it one step at a time. For more background than I had room to give on Continetti, see here.
