Sunny Days in Heaven Spiritual/Political/Philosophical Blog on the Nature of Truth and Falsehood and Heaven |
Wednesday, November 05, 2003 Can Conservatives be Optimists? Paul Cella of Cella's Review has a column up at Tech Central Station asking and answering that question in that mellifluous style Paul has crafted. Take this sentence, for example, "Our culture has come to despise the organic sources of its vitality, as when we refer scornfully to great men with terms of glib abuse like "dead white males"; and those who value their own heritage have become the outsiders." I love this phrase - to great men with terms of glib abuse. Paul's afraid Americans are living on the steam of our Founders and the boiler isn't being stoked afresh, but will peter out. I have the same fear. posted by Mark Butterworth | 10:17 PM | |
