Just got to the #NationalConservatism conference

Place is packed at 9:51am

I'm literally sitting on the floor off to the side since I got here late

"We live in a nation where leftists and liberals regard many of our fellow citizens as malignant." - Mary Eberstadt

#NationalConservatism

Man, @yhazony is on fire - describing the "end of history" as fantastic nonsense

And how he watched "neoconservatism" go from a particular, national vision to an imperial, utopian vision

Characterized by George W. Bush describing a "new world order"

#NationalConservatism

He's on fire now

Lambasting conservatives for supporting the EU destroying European nations

And the Oslo Accords with a fantasy of a borderless Middle East

Hazony now describing 90's conservatives as "drunk" on power after the defeat of communism

This is a ferocious broadside against the conservative movement

"All that interested them was individual liberty...they became a revolutionary movement."

"Today we declare independence from neoconservatism. From neoliberalism. From libertarianism...that set of ideas that sees the atomic individual as the only thing an educated person needs to know about politics...that worldview is what we declare independence from." - @yhazony

"I've never seen the cohesion of America as frayed as it is today...it's America falling apart. If it falls apart further, there won't be peaceful transfers of power" - @yhazony
