Burke is wrong. Convince the Democrats. You’ve lost us.

"Burke is wrong" means you should hand in your conservative card. I have no idea what party you should be in, but it's not a conservative one.

There's always a populist rabble wandering around somewhere, but that's not really a "party" or "left" or "right," it's just a populist rabble. Tea Party, OWS, they all end up squabbling and dissolving and achieving nothing, but it's fun for a while, I guess.
