Entry: What is Paleoconservatism? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/what_is_paleoconservatism#27652 Post contents: "We are afraid to put men to live and trade each on his own private stock of reason; because we suspect that this stock in each man is small, and that the individuals would do better to avail themselves of the general bank and capital of nations and of ages" -Burke- "Reflections on the Revolution in France" Much like Rousseau, Burke celebrated the cult of community over the individual. His post "reflections" period had no relevance to our founders. His paranoid reaction to the French revolution brought criticism from his American contemporaries. He was an idealouge and statist of first magnitutde. Is it any wonder todays conservatives are in disarray. The paradox presented by Mr. Roach goes un-noticed by the choir soaking in his sermon. This marks the fault line between the "classical liberal" leaning Libertarians and today's Paleo-cons. "East is east and west is west..." Sent at: 2008 11 20
