Entry: Big Brother in Brussels Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/big_brother_in_brussels#6817 Post contents: Sid Clone, Ha ha. Real Sid, Again, please phone us when you come back to Earth. Roger Scruton largely has sided with the neocons. Although he doesn't identify as a neocon, he mostly hangs out with them. He's in tight with the New Criterion crowd, has written articles for the New Criterion calling for the democratization of the Middle East, and writes op-eds for the WSJ. And Weaver and Kirk hardly held your politically correct views. Both were opposed to the civil rights movement, supported segregation, and opposed miscegenation. If you want to see what Kirk thought about blacks, go and read some of his 1950s pieces in National Review, or read his First Edition of the Conservative Mind. In the 1970s, once he started hanging out with Jaffa and Strauss, he became more PC. In Roots of American Order he defends Lincoln. But the earlier Kirk did not hold your left-wing views, Sid. Here are but a few quotes I just found on a Google search. If you want, I can later give you some good Kirk quotes from his 1950s NR articles. Richard M. Weaver famously said: “Some of the means, for example the Ku Klux Klan, were irregular, but essentially it was the political genius of Jefferson, of Washington, of Madison, and of Pinckney expressing itself in times of trouble and oppression.” Kirk on segregation: “It would be reckless indeed to tamper with an institution as ancient as segregation." Russell Kirk (with Buckley and Meyer), 1950s National Review, Main Editorial: “The White community is ENTITLED [to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not prevail numerically], because, for the time being, IT IS THE ADVANCED RACE. It is not easy, and it is unpleasant, to adduce statistics evidencing the cultural superiority of White over Negro: but IT IS A FACT that obtrudes, one that cannot be hidden by ever-so-busy egalitarians and anthropologists.” If you want, Sid. I can go tonight and pull up many more quotes from some PDFd National Review issues. Sid, seriously, you sound like a used-car salesman for political correctness. Give it a rest. Sent at: 2008 10 07
