“We make men without chests and we expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and we are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."- C.S. Lewis in The Abolition of Man

I usually like George Will...
...even though he seems to work his thesaurus a little too hard, usually. But this lead was completely unsatisfying:
Like Job after losing his camels and acquiring boils, the conservative movement is in distress.
Pretentious in at least two ways, and inaccurate, too.
Day one of that chapter was much, much worse. But Will often tends to be optimistic, so maybe his analogy is more about Will's hope for a richer reward after the whole ordeal.
