Whatever my faults as a writer I choose my words pretty carefully; I said the new right's "prescriptions lag its diagnoses and may never win popular support," which is a true statement and not a statement that the prescriptions are wrong, obviously or otherwise.

To play the mordant part assigned me, I'd add it would be odd if I thought the new right's policy agenda were simply wrong because it includes things I was defending before the new right existed - which gives me a strong (if perhaps exaggerated) sense of the challenges it faces.

Tangentially, I thought @SamAdlerBell's piece was strong in showing indicating that much of the New Right isn't really new. I a lot of it can be found in various strains of Catholic right, paleo-right, and Sam's Club right. What's driving this is Oedipal revolt.
