Entry: Stan Should Have Seen It Coming Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/stan_should_have_seen_it_coming#15816 Post contents: The last few posts prompt a reply I hesitate to make. I was both a strong defender of Mel Bradford and a president of the Philadelphia Society as recently as a few years ago. i apologize for neither. Paul's essay may well have been titled, "Stan Sort of Deserved What He's Getting." Unfortunately, he doesn't address the substance of the book, but only plays with the neocon reaction to it, bashing NR (legitimately) but implying that Stan Evans is not a pure enough paleo. Stan is a conservative. Period. He has resisted since the 1950s attempts to reduce American conservatism to ideology. That he has at one time or another been accused of being too libertarian, or too anticommunist, or too traditionalist speaks well of him to me. This aside, read Stan's book. Don't judge it from the perspective of supposed internal right-wing squabbles, but from the evidence he presents. Isn't that what real conservatives have always tried to do? Sent at: 2008 05 16
