== Modern liberalism and the use of mockery rather than reasonable argumentation ==

In a ''BloombergView'' article, Stephen L. Carter wrote about the left:
{{Cquote|But the left has work to do, not only on policy and organization but also on attitude. Too many of my progressive friends seem to have forgotten how to make actual arguments, and have become expert instead at condemnation, derision and mockery. On issue after issue, they’re very good at explaining why no one could oppose their policy positions except for the basest of motives.
