Mark Krikorian at the Corner:

But, justly or not, we’ve reached the point where waving the bloody shirt of 60s radicalism just doesn’t work any more.

Krikoran doesn’t think conservatives should deal with contemporary issues as a matter of course, he thinks they should stop their sixties fetishism because … no one else cares. Stand athwart history yelling stop, indeed — ideally, at some point when the conservative agenda makes sense.
