Thanks for bringing the right's perspective here - I would be hard-pressed to find the good ones myself. I'll give it a good read, but my casual read now confirms my suspicion that the left has been wholly incapable of understanding and empathizing with the issues and values on right. It's easier to dismiss the worries of others if they're not even remotely similar to your own issues.

We have an election coming up in about 4 months, with the right-wing nutjob Wilders leading in the polls. Here's to hope that we don't make a similar mistake.
