Entry: Right From the Beginning Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/right_from_the_beginning#22825 Post contents: The conversation between Richard and Boyd could never take place in the New Criterion or in any other neocon publication devoted (quite propagandistically understood) to Kulchur. Furtwangler, Wagner, and Bruckner would all be assigned there to a rogue's gallery of Nazi precursors or Mitmacher of the Third Reich. Boyd's predilection for the Ring der Nibelungen combined with his neomedieval Catholicism would be cited as incontrovertible evidence of his sympathy for the Third Reich, while Richard's study of the German language and his talk about "Central European music" would elicit the scowls of Ramesh Ponnuru and Michael Ledeen. By the way, Richard's account of what moved him toward the American Right proves my case about the post-paleos knowing or caring beans about Russell Kirk, Bill Buckley, James Burnham, and other golden oldies of the paleo movement.
