Conservatism and Liberalism

Mark Goldblatt offers an opinion on the ideological differences between the left and the right:
Liberals, in general, see conservatives as brutish God-drunk bigots determined to crush whomever stands in their way in order to preserve the inequities of the status quo; by contrast, liberals see themselves as worldly, open-minded, kind-hearted paragons of social virtue whose guiding principle is their determination to look out for those less fortunate than themselves.
It is a very good piece.
