Dear Visionaries,
I am trying to figure out how my last post could possibly have been construed as a defense of Republicans. I am not a Republican.
The morphing we have gone through has happened to a nation, and not just to one or the other of the major political parties. We used to be a republic, and now we are an empire. Get used to it. I do not say this with any kind of approval, but am simply noting the facts. There are differences between the political parties, just as there were differences between Augustus and Tiberius.
The notion that if a liberal Democrat were elected in 04 we would somehow cease being what we have become is an idea that could make a cat laugh.
Cordially,
Douglas Wilson
“Apologetics in the Void” are repostings from an on-going electronic discussion and debate I had some time ago with members of our local community, whose names I have changed. The list serve is called Vision 20/20, and hence the name “visionaries.” Reading just these posts probably feels like listening to one half of a phone conversation, but I don’t feel at liberty to publish what others have written. But I have been editing these posts (lightly) with intelligibility in mind.
