Entry: Responding to My Respondents Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/responding_to_my_respondents#23670 Post contents: The terms "Left" and "Right" are both misleading and easily manipulated. Fierce, Enlightenment Liberals like Mises, Hayek, Novak, et al., get labeled "conservatives," God knoweth how, while those who stand for property, like Belloc and Chesterton, get labeled "Socialist." Our gov't is controlled by big-statists like Dick Cheney and George what's-his-name, who are darlings of the right. Go figure. As to the necessity of "fortune," unfortunately it may be misfortune that is coming to our aid. Capitalism, at least in its neo-con version, is collapsing before our eyes(not that it ever worked very well without massive gov't meddling). Yes, we do need theorists, but we also need practical thinkers, people who can apply the moral intelligence to the complexities of the current situation to find a way forward. Of course, "finding your way" means first knowing where you want to go. Do we know this? Sent at: 2008 09 07
