Entry: Postmodern, Not Hypermodern: Russell Kirk Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/postmodern_not_hypermodern_russell_kirk#14273 Post contents: Tu quoque is no more a reply to my demand that NANR present his credentials than his parade of ad hominems, name-calling, red herrings, and begged questions. He of course doesn't have any credentials at all, and his silence proves this. So we can dismiss is claims of genetic/racial based culture as so much moonshine and hogwash. <i>"As to credentials in certain fields or scientific disciplines, what are yours?"</i> <i>I</i> not making the claim of racialist genetics. <i>You</i> are. The burden of proof is upon you, not me. </i>"The Founding Fathers were certainly racialist in their vision of America as a White, Anglo Protestant Republic."</i> Impossible. NANR's demonstrates his lack of education by his anachronistic argument. The whole idea of "race" was invented in the 19th C by Arthur de Gobineau, a century after the Founders. Let's all have another horse laugh! <i>"The original U.S. Constitution excluded Negroes and American Indians from U.S. Citizenship." </i>. An utter lie. Quote the Constitution where it supposedly says this. If you mean the 3/5s clause, you prove your stupidity even more, for this clause applied only to slaves, and moreover it was a compromise forced on the South by the North. The South wanted slaves counted as a whole person. Some racialism! The same Constitution said that after 1808 no more slaves would be brought to the US, and that would be the end of it. Racialist indeed! Suppose we grant the impossible and say Founders to be readers of of NANR's favorite author, Alfred Rosenberg. So what? Point of fact, the question of slavery and Jim Crow were settled <i>in principle </i> by the Declaration and the Constitution. Indeed, Jefferson's original draft was even more specific. So folks, NANR ("NAzi Nationalist Racialist") is revealed to be a liar and an ignoramus. To say nothing of having no case. Let's hope for his going back to the Stormfront site. Sent at: 2008 07 09
