Entry: The Pragmatism of Russell Kirk Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_pragmatism_of_russell_kirk#3623 Post contents: @Bernie Thanks for the insight on Russell Kirk's failure of moral imagination. Sadly, even the best of us have failures, so I take this is the case. The argument "blacks must not be allowed to vote because they would choose things that we do not like" reminds me of the Spanish Socialists who voted against giving women the vote, because they were afraid that they would be influenced by priests, and vote against them. Which means that his imagination was not very ethical nor moral at that point. I hope that he did better on other issues. Sent at: 2008 09 06
