Entry: Come Home, Conservatives! -- to the Antiwar Conservative Movement Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/come_home_conservatives_the_antiwar_conservative_movement#25423 Post contents: Mr. Woods, I'll get the book. The question of the American soul is the most interesting: Are we virtuous enough to be republican? De Tocqueville says, "The chief defect of American democracy is inattention," since Americans are absorbed in gain-getting and the pursuit of wealth. And this inattention has been aggravated by television culture and mass entertainment. Perhaps we are due for a salutary contrapasso of dire impoverishment and a horse doctor’s dose of humility. Voegelin says that the horror of modern war and politics are accurate reflections of individual souls. I think we ought to reflect and examine how the American soul has become a neocon soul and how this differs from that of “a normal human being.” Sent at: 2008 07 24
