“Conservatism, we are told, is out-of-date. The charge is preposterous and we ought boldly to say so. The laws of God, and of nature, have no dateline. The principles on which the Conservative political position is based have been established by a process that has nothing to do with the social, economic and political landscape that changes from decade to decade and from century to century. These principles are derived from the nature of man, and from the truths that God has revealed about His creation. Circumstances do change. So do the problems that are shaped by circumstances. But the principles that govern the solution of the problems do not. To suggest that the Conservative philosophy is out of date is akin to saying that the Golden Rule, or the Ten Commandments or Aristotle's Politics are out of date. The Conservative approach is nothing more or less than an attempt to apply the wisdom and experience and the revealed truths of the past to the problems of today.” – Barry Goldwater, The Conscience Of A Conservative, 1960.

Barry Goldwater, The Conscience Of A Conservative.

“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages. Nobody but a beggar chooses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizens. Even a beggar does not depend upon it entirely....” - Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776.

BTW as a side bar Iran has decided to eradicate the Bahai faith in the islamic Mullah regime.

Another poke in the eye for Israel since the Bahai HQ is now in Israel.

And another nail in the coffin courtesy of all and anything anti-islam courtesy O-Khomeini and Moslem money recipient Klintoon.

Brilliant. Thanks for posting. We need more scholars of the “Hayekian Triangles!”

[txhurl]

This is (Bahai) that Iran framed for the bombing of that mosque near Syrah a year ago?

Hayek is the antidote to Alinsky. IMHO, Chapter 10 well explains why Rahm Emanuel is Hussein’s chief of staff.
