Quote of the day: On modern conservatism

Great quote from a great column in The Baltimore Sun by Thomas Schaller, a political science professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore Campus:

The great legacy of modern conservatism – its defining principle, in fact – is the triumph of platitudes over policies. It is a movement of slogans, not solutions.
