| Speaking of the euphemistically named “Radical Right,” the “f” word in actual fact, and sorry for this delayed response to my friend Jim Bovard’s article, but my question for Jim is: are you some kind of Communist? Or worse, a “Liberal,”or “Libertarian?" As Willmoore Kendall, one of the CIA founders of the Conservative Movement in the 1950s, so denounced, so often? And don’t you know Jim; we “don’t need no stinking Rights,” especially the “right to freedom of speech” and “freedom of thought!” Nor any of the other “Rights” contained in the Bill of Rights so “illicitly" added by Constitutional Amendment to what was a perfect "Philadelphia Constitution of 1787," sans Bill of Rights, according to Willmoore Kendall, and his right-wing, wing-man, George Carey, both of whom had more animus to “rights” than King George himself! But, He lives! Kendall does I mean, in the ideas he most ardently propounded as what you criticize Jim: censorship! Something Kendall and Burnham always wished for, but couldn’t get as far as they wanted, under such “Liberals” as Eisenhower, and Justice Black, to name a couple. But it's on its way to being achieved now, as begun as Cheneyism, carried over into Trumpism, and now, not surprisingly, with the dialectics of politics, under Biden. So appeal the denial of your so-called “rights” Jim, to the Trumpite Judges on the SC. Then the renouncement of the 1st Amendment can be made "official” as Constitutional Law. In fact, to give them a headstart, they can cite to these documents by the Great Conservative himself, Willmoore Kendall (I’d had a query from someone uncertain who was the author of some previous files I’d shared, so I have to name him, even if that would be preferred to be kept “hidden)! That there are so many isn’t due to his “long life,” but rather to the intensity of his hostility to “freedoms” non-conservatives see as our “Right” as Americans under the Constitution. Little wonder he’s now considered a precursor to Trumpism! |

So Jim, genuflect to the “Conservative Movement” when you realize you “have no rights due you as a human being and an American. The Fusionism of the 1950s prevailed, and under Frank Meyer, a friend and "fellow traveler” of Kendall’s, "free speech” had nothing to do with so-called “libertarianism.” And content yourself with knowing that, per this: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/07/willmoore-kendall-writing-relevant-to-modern-conservatism-populism/, Biden is simply standing for the "the ability of society to uphold “a hard core of shared beliefs” by excluding “ideas and opinions contrary” to its self-understanding." "What McCarthyism was really about, Kendall said, was the ability of society to uphold “a hard core of shared beliefs” by excluding “ideas and opinions contrary” to its self-understanding. McCarthy, in his view, was defending the traditional American consensus not only against Communists in government, but also against liberals, who view America as “a society in which all questions are open questions, a society dedicated to the proposition that no truth in particular is true, a society, in Justice Jackson’s phrase, in which no one can speak properly of an orthodoxy — over against which any belief, however immoral, however extravagant, can be declared heretical and thus proscribed.” It was this clash of fundamentally opposed understandings of American democracy that propelled McCarthy to the center of politics and endowed the controversy over his public career with “genuine civil war potential.” So stop f***ing with the “consensus,” Jim :-) And interfering with “Democratic Majoritarianism” as a “minority” against the “majority,” with neither entitled to any actually “rights,” except as how some centralized authority decrees the “General Will, per Rousseau, and per Willmoore Kendall! (See attached The Government of Poland.)
