Entry: What is Paleoconservatism? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/what_is_paleoconservatism#27667 Post contents: Mr. Sabin avers: "Talking about Taft or Burke these days may be interesting and somewhat helpful but it is about as illuminating of the current crisis as is talking about Nathan Bedford Forrest." I would tend to agree with Sabin that we have yet to confront the dilema of our present situation. We are however coming closer as we plumb the depths of the past parade of western political movements. Mr. roach seems well on his way to invigorating his followers to embrace a form of Hegelian mystical metaphysics. Raising the state to an exhalted position in the developement of community. Mr.Roach must have stopped his education at Burke as have many other conservatives, forgetting or out right dismissing the fact that modern conservativism continued to take its present form from additional classical liberals such as Herbert Spencer. I'm curious if "The Man Versus the State" figures anywhere into Mr. Roach's brand of conservativism. Sent at: 2008 11 20
