2. Off the top of my head, I'd say what can still be recovered from the right: a) Hayek's epistemological critique of central planning remains true (although not many of the uses Hayek put to it). b) Burke has a multi-generational ethic that's worth developing.

3. Other valuable parts of the right: c) foreign policy realism of the Lippmann/Kennan strand is still useful d) the Eliotic modernist idea of tradition as reinvention e) the critique (from Schmitt & others) of liberal fetishization of process over outcomes.

Your first mistake was assuming that Ross Douthat asked that question in good faith. He is only interested in blaming everything on liberals.

Only current conservative philosophy doesn't go any deeper than "anything to own the libs."

I have a theory that much of what ails the liberal/left program these days is learning too much from the right as it is

if we start with the concession that the right actually has the market cornered on "family, faith and patriotism" then we lose before we've begun. In fact the right hand decimated and corrupted all three of these in its pursuit of absolute power.
