Apart from that, what significance has it? But the Rule of Law is little understood and less appreciated in our time.Francis W.

He is a pin-head because he assumes the homogeneity of all people, which stands in sharp contradistinction with the liberal principles of "diversity" and "individualism" (another example of leftist cognitive-dissonance).<BR/><BR/>Levy <I>would</I> be correct in his views, if the demographic explosion in some sectors of Israeli society (and for that matter, all other Western societies, including our own) didn't happen among people who don't share the same '<I>political</I>' and '<I>social values</I>' he and his co-morons trumpet.<BR/><BR/>This is just another example how truly dangerous these leftist are, and how more deleterious than the terrorists and their sympathisers to the sheer survival of the West.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-35787707712318500582007-07-25T01:44:00.000+10:002007-07-25T01:44:00.000+10:00Which nation has EVER been defined by a set of pol...Which nation has EVER been defined by a set of political principles - other than by their own liberal elites? There is no such creature.<BR/><BR/>Even those countries which would be commonly (and in fact carelessly) identified as such are not.<BR/><BR/>The USA has it's constitution, informed by enlightenment ideas, but as a nation it was founded by people with a distinct culture and a shared history and way of looking at the world. Most individuals have a personal, visceral relationship to the idea of their country. Would the rules of the American republic have wrought the same results elsewhere? <BR/><BR/>Communist nations throughout the world come closest to the idea of defining themselves through political principles and these have in fact all been doomed. One could argue that was because the principles where pretty cracked to start with, rather than the fact that they tried to do away with other forms of attachment. Once these governments fell or changed however Russia was still Russia, Poland still Poland and the distinct nature of these countries and cultures remained intact. <BR/><BR/>It's my belief that these liberal notions of defining nations through sets of general political principles are smokescreens. The elites who feel no loyalty to their own nations subscribe to such ideas but when the wind blows and the smoke clears the nation which was obscured turns out to have been there all along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-22926713916185173222007-07-25T01:02:00.000+10:002007-07-25T01:02:00.000+10:00By identifying the nation with a set of political ...<I>By identifying the nation with a set of political values, Levy can then imagine that the non-discrimination principle won't change the essence of the nation.</I><BR/><BR/>So would you think that a nation which defines its essence through a set of political principles is doomed from the start?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
