Danh ngôn của Rick Perlstein
Conservatives are time-biders. And they understand, as Corey Robin explains in his indispensable book 'The Reactionary Mind,' that the direction of human history is not on their side - that is why they are reactionaries - because, other things equal, civilization does tend towards more inclusion, more emancipation, more liberalism.

Những người bảo thủ là những người trả giá theo thời gian. Và họ hiểu, như Corey Robin giải thích trong cuốn sách không thể thiếu của mình 'Tâm trí phản động', rằng chiều hướng của lịch sử loài người không đứng về phía họ - đó là lý do tại sao họ là những kẻ phản động - bởi vì, những thứ khác không đổi, nền văn minh có xu hướng hướng tới sự hòa nhập hơn, giải phóng nhiều hơn, chủ nghĩa tự do hơn.

- Lyndon B. Johnson thought he'd have the boys home from Vietnam by Christmas - for four Christmases in a row (he never shifted course, and lost his presidency for it).
- Look at liberty's greatest historic advances: ending slavery. Giving women the vote. Outlawing legal segregation. Each and every time, the people at the forefront of advancing those reforms - often putting their lives on the line - called themselves liberals.
- Liberals tend to stress how marvelous education is, in and of itself, and also adore it as a vessel for genuine equality. (That's me, by the way: Hell, I think we should be spending $50 billion a year to make college education free).
