Book cover for Powers and Thrones: A New History of the Middle Ages
It would be difficult to think of a greater inversion—or even perversion—of the original mission of crusading than a Latin king of Jerusalem losing his head in a war against the pope.

John W. Dean
“Conservatism is not inherently moralistic, negative, arrogant, condescending, and self-righteous. Nor is it authoritarian. Yet all of these are adjectives that best describe the political outlook of contemporary conservatism. I make these observations not as an outsider, but as a conservative who is deeply troubled by what has become of a treasured philosophy. Conservatism has been co-opted by authoritarians, a most dangerous type of political animal.”
John W. Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience
