I often recommend ppl on the right read and talk to Jane (she's on vacation so I don't want to blow up her mentions) b/c she wants to understand the right, not just yell at it. So it results in her having a far better understanding of conservative language & ideas. Example:

Jane correctly notes that this is a major difference *within* conservatism: that religious conservatives believe right-wing economic orthodoxy should be open to reinterpretation and reprioritization, and that this is a challenge to the business wing of the party.

This is why conservatives get so frustrated at what Jonah Goldberg calls the "conservatives in the mist" style of anthropological parachute coverage. There are very few ppl who actually care what conservatives actually believe. Jane does, and the contrast is illuminating. /fin

How is a misrepresentation? Adam notes throughout the piece that it's a disagreement within conservatism too (specifically between French and Ahmari), and he says that it's religious conservatives *like Ahmari* who are doing this, not religious conservatives in general.
