“The American Right seems intent on proving John Stuart Mill’s infamous remark that ‘conservatives are the stupid party.’ Not only is the populist movement in Washington foundering because of infighting and general boorishness, its intellectual equivalent in the so-called ‘postliberal’ movement also seems to be descending into anger and what Lionel Trilling once called ‘irritable mental gestures.’ Neither force seems to be the engine of cultural renewal that they promised to be. John Wilsey’s new book, Religious Freedom: A Conservative Primer, offers a beautiful alternative: a vision to which conservatives might genuinely aspire.” (08/18/25)
