Conservatism and Populism

Jonah Goldberg explains why they are like oil and water, kinda. He makes some unfortunate generalizations about liberals, but that should not obscure the message about the dangers of populism and the role of conservatives, which can be summarized in a line from the conclusion:

It is the first duty of conservatives to say “that’s not a good idea” and “calm down.”
Funny, someone I know once had a little fun for using one of those exact phrases. Anyway, read the whole thing.
