Entry: William Hawkins, Loser Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/william_hawkins_loser#5967 Post contents: As much as it pains me, I feel the need to come, at least somewhat, to Sid's defense. I have twice seen Sid denounced as a libertarian. It is clear to me that Sid is not a libertarian. I think he may feel more at home with some libertarians than he is with what I think he misperceives as current paleoconservatism, because they more likely share his ideology about race. But someone who is advocating Catholic Social Teaching is no libertarian. I think that Sid’s post above that invited wrath is one of his more sensible ones. Especially this statement: “But how it is constituted is why it is doing bad things.” Amen to that. But Sid, please help me out? What you advocate is mutually contradictory in my opinion. You say there is no “real America” because of the various ethnic, religious, etc. factions that went to making us up. (There is some truth to that, but not as much as I think some believe because the core group was actually much more homogenous than the multicult retellers of history will admit.) But then you think it is improper for people to worry about maintaining what ethnic homogeneity still remains. To guard against further dissolution. In fact, you incredulously insist that ethnos is all a figment. I don’t get it. I really don’t. Sent at: 2008 07 09
