Entry: The Kirk Wars Continue Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_kirk_wars_continue#3096 Post contents: I believe that Professor Wolfe's main source of dislike for Russell Kirk and all of Kirk's substantial body of work is the fact that Kirk proudly and unapologetically referred to himself as a "conservative". He committed the unforgivable sin of owning up to his conservatism and this is why a liberal academic like Wolfe has no use for him and resorts to the standard liberal approach of ridiculing, misrepresenting and finally to slandering conservative positions and conservative thinkers. When you throw in the fact that Russel Kirk never hid his admiration for Ronald Reagan and Patrick J. Buchanan you see why a liberal would denounce him! Sent at: 2008 07 06
