Entry: Don't Look Left Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/dont_look_left#557 Post contents: I hate to be the splasher of cold water, Mr. Sarto, but what would you have us actually *do*? It's all fine to say "renew your faith," but that's no substitute for real policy proposals. Sure, you tell us what *not* to do, but after we have divested ourselves of all the vices you cite, where do we go then? How do we obtain for ourselves "limited government," for example, and what do you even mean by it? While yours is a fine article, it's not unlike a thousand others we've read over the last thirty years. Yet, where are we now? Deeper in the pigsh*t than ever. The simple fact is that, no matter how pure of heart we may become, our system is corrupted so fundamentally and to such a degree that reform from within is impossible. That is to say, in addition to whatever problems we may have that arise from a lack of faith, we have a massive *structural* problem that prevents the kind of reform necessary to bring about the vision of government conservatives generally hold. One of these days, I hope conservatives will finally wake up and realize how wasted their current efforts are, and how worthless their strategy. Sent at: 2008 11 22
