Matt Lewis quotes a fellow who has grasped the essence of the divide between liberals and conservatives:
As Dr. Benjamin Wiker writes in his new book, Worshipping The State, "For liberalism to make sense, we would have to live in a world without ends — to put it in technical philosophical terms, in a non-teleological universe (telos means "goal" or "end in Greek), where, since there are no ends written into nature (including human nature) by God, we are free to create them ourselves."Yes, we are forced to choose our ends because Godot is not coming.
