Entry: Who Are We? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/who_are_we#26406 Post contents: "So I’m not a conservative. I’m glad to have found that out. I suggest you all read a chapter in a book by Richard Weaver in which he asked if the Late Roman and Byzantine Empires were really worth the savage forms of execution which were required to keep their people in line. Sometimes it is better to consign even a “legitimate” govt. to the dustbin than simply to execute all the people it would take in order to maintain that legitimacy. It is to the credit of French Legitimists that they did not undertake the bloody purges it would have taken to eradicate the Orleanist, Bonapartist, and republican partisans." Well said. Any form of government, whether ruled by a King, president or whoever, must respect the God given natural rights and the individual rights of their subjects. Will people here defend the reign's of Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and Stalin? Are they not "legitimate" and in accord with "conservatism" by "keeping order"? Sent at: 2008 10 07
