Suppose you had a friend you had known for many years, one who was very opinionated, who always seemed absolutely certain about everything, and yet who was always turning out to be wrong. He got you to buy stock in Enron and swore it would just keep on rising. He bet on the Yankees to sweep the Red Sox in ’04. He said mobile phones were just a fad, and before long people would give them up and go back to sending telegrams. Would you trust this person’s powers of analysis? Would you continue putting any faith in his predictions? “Conservatives,” or those who call themselves this nowadays, have an equally good and much longer record of faulty analysis and wrong prediction.
