Hmm …

… Sam Tanenhaus on Conservatism and Culture | FiveBooks | Five Books. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Well, I'm older than Tanenhaus, I spent some time with Bill Buckley, and I worked for ISI. I think I know the American conservative movement pretty well (though I have been libertarian). I think Tanenhaus gets some things right, but a lot of things wrong. At its best, American conservatism is the nearest thing we have to 19th-century liberalism.
