p> NUTSO CONSERVATISM br> Re: Jed Babbin's Are You Nuts? (No, but thanks for asking.) /p> p>Well, there you have it. The package is nearly complete.

At some point, when I was still very young (mid-40's), I observed that there are two kinds of people in the world: 1. Those who will admit that they are insane and, 2. Those who will not admit that they are insane.

True to form, the "Berserkely Study" (without its authors having the faintest idea) looks like a self study. Additionally, its points apply to two groups of people who are of the second kind (above): Illiberals in general, and Democrats in particular.
