The right loves the feeling of moral righteousness as much as the left loves outrage. But that is why conservative thinkers failed. We must like the founders, but better than they, create institutions and processes that provide shared incentives, not that require shared belief.

@demontage2000 @JohnMarkSays @TOOEdit Yes but those are not terms that can be institutionally enforced. Use instead:
1. Legal: Sovereignty and Reciprocity; Juridical Defense and Jury; Truth before face, Duty before self
2. Political: Markets before authority.
3. Aesthetic: Heroism, Excellence, Transcendence
