Entry: The Neocons and Charles Maurras Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/leo_strauss_the_neocons_and_charles_maurras#6550 Post contents: Re: Mr. Ball's missing of the point. You give yourself as an example with a varied background, though mainly old UK. The American tribe is much greater than that, though mostly that. With 300 million souls we are not limited to people with a singular characteristic, such as a Hapsburg Lip. But we are not all of humanity with duties to such as the concept of a propositional nation implies. We are limited to "Ourselves and our posterity." As a lawyer you surely understand that the phrase was inserted as a limitation. By analogy a warranty for three years is not inserted to give the customer anything. It is put in a contract to keep him from coming back after three years. My use of the word tribal, which may not be the most exact term, is meant to say that our government has no obligation to anyone other than its own citizenry which is offered to outsiders on terms. We are not the world's policeman, judge, jury, teacher, exemplar or provisioner. Our duties are to our own very diverse, and you detail that, tribe, i.e., fellow Americans. I hope you enjoy your new life Down Under. A most heartfelt and sincere, "Adios." Sent at: 2008 05 16
