The ‘Deep State’ is not some murky entity, hiding in the shadows; it is on full display, a former intelligence officer insists.
Archery, the Japanese have long believed, supplements the interior journey towards a state of wisdom, a journey that to some degree we must all undertake if we are to avoid becoming a nuisance to others.
It is as if, in the boomer-con’s mind, liberalism is a ‘nice principle’ that ought to temper the ‘nasty but necessary principle’ of conservatism. Young-cons, however, don’t identify liberalism with niceness at all.
