What Is It We Wish to Conserve?

Snip

In defense of the right, it needs be said. They were no more capable of preventing these revolutionary changes in how people think and believe about God and man, right and wrong, good and evil, than were the French of the Vendee to turn back the revolution of 1789.

Converting a people to new ways of thinking about fundamental truths is beyond the realm of politics and requires a John Wesley or a St. Paul.

The social, political and moral revolutions of the 1960s have changed America irretrievably. And they have put down roots and converted a vast slice of the nation.

In order to love one's country, said Edmund Burke, one's country ought to be lovely. Is it still? Reid Buckley, brother of Bill, replies, "I am obliged to make a public declaration that I cannot love my country. ... We are Vile."

And so what is the conservative's role in an America many believe has not only lost its way but seems to be losing its mind?

What is it now that conservatives must conserve?

LOL The 50s were not a glorious time in this country's history. In fact it was a black mark on our society. Why am I not surprised Buchanan and the rest of the VDARE sheep want a return to the time when a woman's place was in the kitchen and an African American's at the back of the bus?

By morons who define a racist sas someone who disagrees with the tenets of liberalism. In that sense, yes. I'm a racist too.

Are you being serious? Buchanan doesn't even bother to try to hide his hatred of African Americans and those of the Jewish faith.

Want to play "Quote that Racist" or "Quote that Anti-Semetic" ??

What's true? I don't see anything about the 1950s. That was in your imagination right next to Buchanon's racism.

Oh, and any quotes need to be in context, greer. Hint: don't pull them off leftwing smear sites.
