Truth Never Dies

I frequently make the comment to friends that the wisdom of Barry Goldwater’s landmark book, Conscience of a Conservative, is as true today as it was almost 50 years ago. Simply substitute Islamist for communist, or Jihadists for Soviets in the last chapter and little has changed.

Yesterday a friend sent me this cartoon and it it reminded me of another classic – James Burnham’s Suicide of the West: The Destiny and Meaning of Liberalism. Truth never dies, just as cowards, in the sheep’s clothing of peacemakers, will always seek to appease our enemies.
