Entry: Nationalism is What We Need Now--The Case for an "Unpatriotic Conservatism" Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/nationalism_is_what_we_need_now_a_case_for_an_unpatriotic_conservatism#23473 Post contents: "It just seems that to confront globalism at some level one requires a sovereign entity (whether it be nation, state, city-state, etc.) that is defined in some way (race/ethnicity, religion, customs, language, geography) that has the ability to exercise self determination." Let's say "self-rule" ("self-determination" having a very specific historical meaning). If you'll accept that change to what you wrote, Matthew, then I'll heartily endorse what you wrote. But sovereignty and self-rule are not synonyms for nationalism. Sent at: 2008 05 16
