[Majorityrights Central] Scott Mannion and the being of the English Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 10 December 2022 01:12. Steven LaTulippe accurately presents the intellectual content of the Presidential debates:
Pat Buchanan endorses Bush:
In the 16 October Spectator, Roger Scruton tells us that the new claim-based rights are in danger of depriving Britons of their old procedural-based rights as enunciated in the 1689 Bill of Rights. In fact, perhaps the word ‘procedure’ is more important than the word ‘right’ here. According to Scruton: “Although the Bill of Rights declared some of the rights of the British subject, it was, in doing so, merely rehearsing established procedures of the common law, and re-affirming them against recent abuses.” From gypsy squatter parks to the right to a proper education, Scruton sees examples of the new style of rights leading to irresoluble conflicts and a murky system of law where the courts have no choice but to decide matters as they see fit. The new rights are not so much rights as claims – claims that must be enforced on everybody else.
The rights that have historically protected the citizens of liberal democracies are, in general, negotiated restraints on state power. A right that must be enforced by the exercise of state power is something else entirely.
So here we are, online. After four months of planning we have arrived at that precipitate moment. The first post. The one that should welcome, introduce, explicate, commend … and get the blog rolling. The one that, like a best man’s speech, doesn’t need to say too much and doesn’t need to go on too long. Just so that it leaves the reader with a crank-handle sense of something vital and positive having begun. A tall order, then. Well, maybe. Maybe not. I’ve looked into a few of these first post offerings lately. They are by no means all successful. Simplicity seems to be the safest if, perhaps, most unadventurous option. You know … just a few spare but elegant phrases that go to the heart of what it means to blog on politics and what, in addition, it will mean to blog here. That ought not to be too challenging.
