I don’t go for that kind of stuff, but I’m sure it was on a par with Buckley’s fiction — great stuff!

JD and Frank,

Have you read any of Kirk’s fiction. If you like horror of a semi-Lovecraftian type, he is /was very good.

Thanks for the heads up, Mouse.

Don’t worry, Frank, you don’t have to tell me what he says I can read for myself. I have learned not to put too much faith in your interpretation of things. There’s a lot of stuff you don’t seem to pick up on.

Frank D : I had the honor, nay, the privilege of spending a weekend with Russell Kirk when I was a youngster at his home in Michigan, and visiting with him and his family countless times throughout my childhood. Turns out he was a relative of mine. It was not until years later that I grew to learn who he was, and what he did. Sure wish I could have some of that time back now.

SadieB: It doesn’t take a few days to read this:

Ten Conservative Principles (1993)

1. First, the conservative believes that there exists an enduring moral order.
2. Second, the conservative adheres to custom, convention, and continuity.
3. Third, conservatives believe in what may be called the principle of prescription.
4. Fourth, conservatives are guided by their principle of prudence.
5. Fifth, conservatives pay attention to the principle of variety.
6. Sixth, conservatives are chastened by their principle of imperfectability.
7. Seventh, conservatives are persuaded that freedom and property are closely linked.
8. Eighth, conservatives uphold voluntary community, quite as they oppose involuntary collectivism.
9. Ninth, the conservative perceives the need for prudent restraints upon power and upon human passions.
10. Tenth, the thinking conservative understands that permanence and change must be recognized and reconciled in a vigorous society.

All I’m asking is that you accept the fact that what I believe is a lot closer to this, than the feces you monkeys fling, and claim I believe.

Mouse: Unlike all of you Oliver sycophants, I do things beside following around behind him cleaning up after his histrionic posts.

Um, Sadie, just a word of advice, Frank has a way of assigning homework then disappearing into the ether when the answers he asks for aren’t what he expected.

No, no, I want to read it, I really do.

I want to be able to help you see where he goes wrong. How can I do that unless I read it myelf? Just give me a few days, okay?

Your comments are brief for a calculating reason. The only correct part of the post. The rest is, as usual, nonsense.

Incidentally, “abbreviated blviations” is an oxymoron

SadieB: Don’t bother

SadieB — Mon, 12 Sep 2005 00:09:50 +0000

Oh don’t worry, Frank., I’ll read it all right.

Actually I’m a little disappointed. I was setting you up to make a crack about “Sadism.” Well maybe next time.

Frank;

Your comments are brief for a calculating reason. (Something else I know about you without laboratory evidence—Imagine the power of deductive reasoning!)

You do not elaborate on your ideas because the more you write, the larger the hole in your argument. When you abbreviate your bloviations you deliberately create an inference that you can later deny.

“When did I say that? If that is what I meant to say, I would have said it.”

That offers you the opportunity to suggest the responder is using faulty

logic and the attack mode goes full-blown.

So; do us all a favor; (”….not up to the challenge….”) stop taking refuge

in your unimaginative one-liners.

It’s not helpful to the discussion. Or is that your intent?

BTW—I do have mental telepathy(HeHe)

Coulter school of artful- dodging

Yeah Frank, I probably know a lot more about you than you think I do.

SadieB, not up to the challenge of reading one of conservatism’s intellectual giants?

Why am I not surprised…

Now you know all about how much timw I have, eh, leo?

Sheesh, you’ve learned a hell of a lot about me in the last, what — 72 hours?

Amazing…

SadieB — Sun, 11 Sep 2005 23:09:21 +0000

Can we just call it “Frankism?” That’s good enough for me.

And as far as my powers of insult, well I guess I do fall short of the “poopy head” mark but I am learning more every day.

“I have neither the time………’

Seems like you’ve got a lot of time. A pro- market guy like yourself doesn’t work for free, does he?

SadieB: First of all, I have neither the time nor the inclination to “share my ideology” with you. But you could start with Russell Kirk. Write me a 500 word essay on his thought, and its influence (or lack of influence) on the 2000 and 2004 elections. Then we’ll talk.

And you’re insulting is like your thinking — lousy!
