Quote of the Month

2012-01-31T23:16:00.001+01:00

Writes Mr. Steve Sailer over at Taki's Magazine:

If the Arab Spring is good for democracy, then it has to be good for diversity, right? We know that democracy and diversity are virtually the same thing: Both words begin with a “d,” end with a “y,” and by definition are good. Who isn’t aware that minority protection (indeed, minority promotion) is the essence of majority rule?

American intellectuals are confident of this because the Nazis were against democracy and diversity. And if you’ve heard of Hitler, what more do you need to know about history?

Some Democracy Quotes this Month

2012-01-31T19:05:00.003+01:00

Wrote Mr. Mark Hackard over at Alternative Right:

Terror and tyranny are inevitable byproducts of democracy, the one legitimate form of rule permitted by Washington to the tribes of humanity.

[...]

Tyranny is not democracy’s tragic demise, but the logical consummation of its progress.

Wrote Mr. Charles Coulombe over at Taki's Magazine:

Until November we will endure the quadrennial ritual of seeing men of questionable ability and ethics accuse each other of having questionable ability and ethics.

Wrote Mr. Ben O'Neill over at Mises Daily:

[W]hen people talk about the importance of democracy, it is never democracy as it has ever actually functioned, with the politicians that have actually been elected, and the policies that have actually been implemented. It is always democracy as people imagine it will operate once they succeed in electing "the right people" — by which they mean, people who agree almost completely with their own views, and who are consistent and incorruptible in their implementation of the resulting policies.

Wrote Mr. Pat Buchanan over at The American Conservative:

Does McFaul believe democracy is a universally superior system of government? Yet our own founding fathers detested one-man, one-vote democracy. Democracy does not even get a mention in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or the Federalist Papers.

The author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, believed society should be ruled by a “natural aristocracy” of “virtue and talent.”

If the promotion of democracy is a mission of our diplomats, are we to subvert the monarchies of Morocco, Jordan, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia?

Also, Mr. Keith Preston pondered modern rights thinking over at Alternative Right early this month.

Mencken Passing 56

2012-01-29T17:17:00.002+01:00

56 years ago today, H.L. Mencken passed away.

Previously this month, Mr. Douglas French quoted Mencken at the Mises Economics Blog:

His business is never what it pretends to be. Ostensibly he is an altruist devoted whole-heartedly to the service of his fellow-men, and so abjectly public-spirited that his private interest is nothing to him. Actually he is a sturdy rogue whose principal, and often sole aim in life is to butter his parsnips. His technical equipment consists simply of an armamentarium of deceits. It is his business to get and hold his job at all costs. If he can hold it by lying he will hold it by lying; if lying peters out he will try to hold it by embracing new truths.

And also, slightly in a Mencken spirit:

What makes democracy work so well? Ignorance. The majority of voters don’t know anything about the issues and of course have no idea what candidates will do once in office. Ecologist Iain Couzin at Princeton figures this makes democracy work great.

Against the Election Madness

2012-01-09T22:32:00.001+01:00

Said Mr. Andy Nowicki a few years ago:

But on a less theoretical level, I loathe democracy because I hate elections. Election time always puts me in a sour mood, but not so much because of the crassness and phoniness of the various candidates vying for positions of power, since that is only to be expected. And not so much, either, because the state holds elections, although I do oppose them on a fundamental, philosophical level. No, what truly gets under my skin are the relentless commands to hold the "democratic process" in such high esteem.

Put simply, I'm tired of being lectured by pompous celebrities about the importance of voting.

And:

I don't want to live in a country where politics invades and permeates every facet of our lives.

Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

WRU Unplugger of the Year

2011-12-31T23:55:00.005+01:00

The WRU Unplugger of the Year need not be a monarchist, nor regret the fall of the Old European Order. The WRU Unplugger of the Year is simply the one who is considered to have done most in bringing about the unplugging of the Wilson Revolution.

This year's awardee has done an excellent job at – albeit briefly and at facade – bringing back the order that was before the Wilsonian World Order, through – but not limited to – presiding over the greatest ceremony in Vienna at least in twenty years – and in so doing evoking old titles of the Habsburg era, an evocation that provoked republican reaction, even – reportedly – giving lively debate in Austrian newspapers.

The 2011 WRU Unplugger of the Year is:

Dr. Christoph Maria Michael Hugo Damian Peter Adalbert Graf [Count] von Schönborn, Cardinal of Austria, Archbishop of Vienna

Quote of the Month

2011-12-31T22:36:00.002+01:00

Writes Mr. David Votoupal over at Theodore's Royalty & Monarchy Site:

The destruction of the Old Order with World War I, and completed definitively upon the end of World War II, was indisputably a terrible loss for humanity. The wholesale destruction of the Old Order in 1918 paved the way for two of the most evil ideologies in human history- Marxism-Leninism (Bolshevism or Communism- it’s all the same) and National Socialism (Nazism) - to inflict unprecedented atrocities on mankind, in the former case enslave entire nations for four decades, and do profound damage to Western civilisation that is still being felt today, most acutely in the West- paving the way for the modern Political Correctness, which in my view shares certain things in common with these totalitarian ideologies, an irony utterly lost on its peddlers.

On this year's three Nobel Peace Laureates Mr. Heffermehl says:

I am happy to congratulate the three champions of women´s rights and non-violence, and the recognition of women´s essential role in the struggle for peace. It could easily have been related to Alfred Nobel´s vision of peace, but the reasons given by the committee show that Norwegian politicians adamantly keep insisting on keeping Nobel´s peace vision an invisible secret. Global cooperation on global disarmament was what Alfred Nobel intended to support with his prize for ‘the champions of peace,’ not human rights, humanitarian aid, environment.

Quote of the Month

2011-11-30T23:20:00.003+01:00

Writes Mrs. Laura Wood over at her wonderful weblog The Thinking Housewife:

THE MOST compelling argument monarchists have against democracy as a political system is right before our eyes: modern-day America. Is there any doubt that if Tocqueville were reborn and journeyed through America today he would conclude that democracy is man’s worst political innovation, that it produces stupidity, moral cowardice, soft slavery, and a ruling elite that diffuses and cloaks its rule with meritocracy? All of Tocqueville’s worst prophecies have come true. Our democracy is tyrannical.

Goal of the Reactionary

2011-11-30T09:28:00.001+01:00

Over at the reactionary weblog Foseti:

The reactionary then, writes for himself and the small minority that matters. If some higher purpose is necessary, I’d suggest that it’s worthwhile to expose as many other people as possible to long lost, superior ideas, in hopes of finding more members of this (never large) minority. The structure of our society is very good at ensuring that people are only exposed to certain viewpoints (dissenting viewpoints are allowed, but only some dissenting viewpoints). There are very few places to encounter truly different ideas.

Democracy and Wealth
