From a reader:

Jonah,
I eagerly awaited for a year the publication of your book and now that I have been reading it, I’m enjoying the hell out of it.
I have to say though, that I think one of my favorite sentences in the whole book is when you say, “But what the conservative understands is that progress comes from working out inconsistencies within our tradition, not by throwing it away.”
That is the conservatism I love and I wish more people understood this basic principle. Keep up the good work. It’s a great book and one we have
sorely needed. I fear that conservatism is adrift, but thankfully, like it has been for over 50 years, National Review and writers like you are there to remind us of the things that have made America great.
