Conservative intellectuals write for the National Review, and their arguments are much more substantive, and less dismissive and bile-filled, than one finds in leftist sources.

Conservatives often don’t speak out because they are relentlessly shouted down and frequently harassed by the left, who too often have no compunctions about silencing their opposition. They are under-represented in academe because such intolerant attitudes have come to dominate academe, and they simply cannot be themselves in such a chilly atmosphere. The higher-profile of conservative intellectuals are often found at foundations, where they can be themselves.

There are and have been a good number of conservative economists, political scientists, and scientists. Leftists wouldn’t know so much about them because they are, well, conservative.

Well, if we accept the argument that the conservative swing to the far right dragged the traditional left to a ‘centrist’ position, then you’ll find that, aside from the yelling ideologues, you might have trouble telling the difference between intellectual liberal and conservative. This becomes especially complicated when you’re talking about realist or pragmatic approaches to politics, where the criticisms of the government sound very similar from both sides. It’s only when you look at ideology that you can tell a difference between the two– sometimes, even the end goals are similar– (after all, wasn’t Romney’s healthcare, which was later adapted by Obama, originally a Heritage Foundation plan?).

On the other hand, there’s been Charles Murray, with his criticism of how America is coming apart. Maybe you could take him seriously, for all of his flaws? http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/what-to-do-about-coming-apart/

Leftist Matt Taibbi of RS is a very dishonest writer. But it works because his audience are late teens/early twenties college kids.

lovely article, , for the sake of our country I hope this happens…not that I believe Obama is terrible, but for the sake of our problems as a country and the constant inability for the ‘press’ to do much more than give a soapbox to politicians for segments of time on their shows and in their articles- where are the questions? I mean the deep questions. Matt Taibi at Rolling Stone has been following the crooks at the top of Goldman Sachs and countrywide and others for awhile. Press, focus please.
