Nothing is simple and easy in this regard, you have to pour over the history to really grasp where we are politically. The resident Giza librarian should be helpful with this one @madkat (Winston1984). Also, Sir Roger Scruton could help: “How to be a Conservative”, and “Fools, Frauds, and Firebrands — thinkers of the new left”.

At this point, we can only restore our Republic from the bottom up, not the top down. As de Tocqueville said, “The spirit of the Nation resides in the Township.”

I agree. Life is too short to be consumed with negativity. Let’s not be ignorant of evil, but why give it the majority of our intention?

Every time I hear anyone reference the deep state, conspiracy, and Hegel, I always seize up inside. Those damn New Hegelians really soured the fruit. I’ve heard Scruton remark that whatever good that stemmed from the…[Read more]

That was a fantastic article and tribute to Sir Roger. I always wondered why Scruton didn’t include Derrida in Fools, Frauds, and Firebrands, and now I know.
