Entry: Libertarians in Heaven Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/blessed_libertarian#13579 Post contents: I do seem to have been unjust to de Maistre's memory; I trust he will forgive me and hope you will excuse me. I still think there was much of what we would now call neoconnery on the European Right, and that many of those who promoted the Right, even in the Fifties, were similar. Not Wilhelmsen, though, nor was that in any way the spirit of <i>Triumph</i>. I don't think I went so far as to give that impression, but it wouldn't hurt to make that clear. Burke is the fellow I keep coming back to. He loved order as much for the sake of liberty as for its own sake, but he loved liberty as a Christian, not as a libertine. I realize that FW, at least in 1966, found it hard to go along with the conservative admiration of EB because the latter was not a Jacobite; but then, neither was the Pope. Sent at: 2008 08 30
