>"Not seldom has it seemed," Russell Kirk declared, "as if some eminent Neoconservatives mistook Tel Aviv for the capital of the United States." A few years later, in another Heritage Foundation speech, Kirk repeated that line verbatim. In the wake of the Gulf War, which he had opposed, he clearly understood that those words carried even greater meaning.[22]


>Midge Decter, director of the Committee for the Free World, called Kirk's remark "a bloody outrage, a piece of anti-Semitism by Kirk that impugns the loyalty of neoconservatives."[23] She told The New Republic, "It's this notion of a Christian civilization. You have to be part of it or you're not really fit to conserve anything. That's an old line and it's very ignorant."[24]

This. It's classified as hate speech

Enough already about "classical liberalism". Here's a thread for classical (traditional) conservatives and the literature thereof. Here is the Wikipedia article on that if you don’t know what that is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditionalist_conservatism

If nothing else, post your faith. I’m personally an Orthodox Christian.

There’s a book out recently, you might be interested in it: “The Politics of Virtue: Post Liberalism and the Human Future. Here is a piece on it: http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2016/10/liberalism-and-capitalism-have-hollowed-out-society-so-where-do-we-turn-now

Feel free to post other book recs as well as articles. I enjoyed these:

Music, it’s a non-liturgical piece (liturgical music for us must be a cappella) by one of our bishops in homage to Bach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5XgsLqUN6k The finale, 1:41:45, kept playing in my head after my baptism (we do full immersion and it’s quite beautiful). You can see a political and religious interview with him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzfjCb-3bcY

Please, feel free to post art, but make it great art, not sentimentalist crap.
