Great essay and it is telling that after the American Revolution, as opposed to the French, Russian, Chinese, N. Korean, Venezuelian, etc. etc. ad. nauseum, the winners didn't cleanse the opposition with executions and gulags. You were welcome to leave, or welcome to stay, because they brought it back to what it ought to be.

Great post. The major, most significant difference between “the Left” and “the Right” is the left’s belief in the perfectability of man. Conservatives accept and respect that human nature hasn’t changed since the Garden of Eden, with systems of checks and balances that bring out our best.
