Entry: What is Paleoconservatism? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/what_is_paleoconservatism#27714 Post contents: 1. Roach's last paragraph could well have been lifted from Carl Schmitt's <i>Politische Romantik</i>, 1919 (though -- note my subjunctive -- I'm not accusing Roach of so lifting). Schmitt -- a mostly a Hobbeian, and definitely an anti-conservative -- has a further political affiliation from 1931-1945. "Paleoconservatism" now has the same affiliation. Which means neither Neo- nor Paleoconservatism is conservatism. 2. Boyd Cathy's catholicism doesn't have Nostra Aetate and Mit Brennender Sorge in it. Which shows that cafeteria catholicism isn't just a liberal attraction. Sent at: 2008 12 03
