Tolstoyan Conservatism
‘Kutusov would be terrible on Fox News and MSNBC, because he says, “It’s not as simple as you think it is,” and nobody wants to hear that. It seems to me that in a political environment characterized by ideology, people make three characteristic mistakes:

1. They mistake politics for religion;

2. They mistake emoting for thinking;

3. They mistake wisdom and prudence for political weakness.’
