Entry: Nationalism is What We Need Now--The Case for an "Unpatriotic Conservatism" Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/nationalism_is_what_we_need_now_a_case_for_an_unpatriotic_conservatism#23431 Post contents: "Good motives can lead to bad policies." But they didn't. Bad motives--those of Bush, et al.--led to bad policies. The fact that, in our democratic system (as attenuated as it is), those with the bad motives found it necessary to try to deceive enough people in order to make it seem that they were representing the will of the American people does not in the least change the fact that government policies do not represent the will of the people but rather the will of elites.
