"Maybe now folks will finally realize that "traditional American conservatism" as it has been known is neither traditional nor conservative. It is a farce and a fraud — good old-fashioned Jean Jacques Rousseau liberalism wrapped in a red-white-and-blue bathrobe. Maybe now they will begin to see that the Constitution, the Statue of Liberty, and Wall Street are part of the same monstrous history-spanning project that brought us the French Revolution, the Soviet Union, and two World Wars. Perhaps now they will come to see that real capital-C Conservatism has nothing to do with individual Liberty and everything to do with individual Duty, and that real Conservatism is not and cannot be divorced from the Christian religion and the historic Christian culture of the West prior to the so-called "Enlightenment".We Catholics need do nothing but watch and pray. The house of cards John Locke and his contemporaries have built is about to come down upon its own foundation of sand. And after the crash comes, those of us who survive can once again take up the task given us by God after the last pagan empire fell: the construction of civilization based not upon Libery, Equality, and Fraternity, but upon Tradition, Family, and Property. In place of the fallen gods of atheistic Reason and individualist Liberty we will re-erect the twin pillars of Altar and Throne.
Thank you so much for posting this. Vive le Roi! Viva Cristo Rey!"

(i.e. the thread/video advocating a "Benevolent Catholic Dictatorship" for America)
Yeah, that was him!
Was that post the reason for B-Chan’s zotting, or was he kicked off for posting something else?
Too bad, I always liked B-chan. He was the artist who created the YOPIOS graphic.

Yeah, that was a bit over the top. Worthy of being banned for it? That's certainly debatable.
Perhaps now they will come to see that real capital-C Conservatism has nothing to do with individual Liberty [i.e., licentiousness] and everything to do with individual Duty, and that real Conservatism is not and cannot be divorced from the Christian religion and the historic Christian culture of the West prior to the so-called "Enlightenment".
That's basic Christian reality, with which I must agree as a Christian conservative.

The only thing offensive here is the last word, and its only offensive to those with a knee jerk antipathy to the idea of monarchy, even if that is the only way to restore Christendom.
Otherwise, its a good statement with which I agree as a Christian conservative, even though I am not a monarchist and don't necessarily agree with that one last word.
