Entry: Riding the Short Bus to Love Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/riding_the_short_bus_to_love#33425 Post contents: Dear "Concerned", marrying and the associated procreation and nuturing of children are an essential paleoconservative activity (for all but the celibate clergy and those others who have a vocation to the single life, I suppose). Indeed, surely you recall Russell Kirk's (or someone like that) maxim that conservatives would rather be hunting than doing politics. Or the famous remark of one of the great Spanish monarchists of the pre-Crusade period, when asked what he would do, politically, after the restoration of monarchy, replied, that he would ride with the King and speak of the chase. Since the family is the basic cell of society, one could well argue that nothing is more important than contributing another family to help rebuild our society. Speaking of this is also a matter of charity, encouraging others to do the right thing, and all that. Sent at: 2008 12 01
