Trouble in the rightland

Cross posted at Political Arguments.

Via Brian Leiter, there's a bitter schism in the conservative blogosphere. The fullest blow-by-blow is here and an anthology of rants, responses and retorts is there. As Leiter writes, "It's like the 1930s at City College all over again, except instead of Trotskyites and Stalinists, it's religious conservatives and other elements of the far right at each other's throats." Although, judging by the tone and content of the comments of TCP's gate-keeper, I don't blame the dissenters for leaving.

To be honest, The Conservative Philosopher was never very good, and I hope that it's successor—Right Reason—does a better job voicing an intelligent and principled conservatism.
