What about the New York Times Op-Ed page turns conservatives into blithering idiots? A movie review? Really? Healthcare, recession, unemployment, and two overseas conflicts and this is what Douthat chooses to write about?

Telling I suppose, in its own peculiar way.

UPDATE: The column seems well received elsewhere. I don’t necessarily agree with these. For starters, it seems kind of dangerous to associate morality plays with a particular ideological stance. It seems tantamount to claiming that the human condition is socially conservative. Really the human condition is just what it is.
