America's One-Party System

Short Shrift this a.m. I'll just leave y'all with warring quotes, for now. More Later. "Liberalism is a philosophy of consolation for western civilization as it commits suicide. It allows one to feel good while watching everything one believes in collapse and be destroyed."–James Burnham in Suicide of the West And "American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward to perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt hath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It tends to risk nothing serious for the sake of truth."- R. L. Dabney (19th Century Reformed theologian) Feel free to talk among yourselves... Oh, and why not check out this biography of James Burnham, James Burnham and the Struggle for the World: A Life. I think I'll be angling for a copy soon, myself...
