N1  - A call to pessimism -- Diversity: nothing to celebrate -- Politics: show business for ugly people -- Culture: pooped out -- Sex: surplus to requirements -- Education: Yale or jail -- Human nature: ask your aunt  -- Religion: what shall we do to be saved? -- War: invading the world -- Immigration: inviting the world -- Foreigners: inspecting the world -- The economy: in hock to the world -- The audacity of hopelessness
N2  - Don't be seduced by all this nonsense about "the politics of hope": skepticism, pessimism, and suspicion of happy talk are the true characteristics of an authentically conservative temperament
