Yoram Hazony does not quite say Conservatism is Theocracy Lite, but I do. "God is not optional. God and public reverence for God is the cornerstone of the Conservative belief system and of Jewish Conservatism itself." He does not mention Muslim Conservatism.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
Heidegger is not just sort of a Nazi but is in fact a Nazi, says Hazony, on the question of academic wrong-headedness.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
If you think you have a universal theory of everything, you are just worshipping yourself like the pagan Roman emperors did and are guilty of idolatry, says Yoram Hazony.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
"All of our freedoms depend on recognising and resisting the threat from the New Imperialism and the threat of a liberal empire that seeks to subordinate all the nations on earth to a single regime of law imposing liberal doctrines on everyone everywhere." The EU is a foretaste.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
Yoram Hazony: "The king is fallible, Parliament is fallible and the people too are fallible. Strictly speaking, no institution or human being can be said to be inviolable, and strictly speaking sovereignty belongs only to God."— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
"We don't have to call the US constitution a liberal document." It is an academic myth of the left that the founding of the US is based on John Locke. 35% of the citations from polemical texts are to the Bible (mostly Deuteronomy), 8% Montesqui, 8% Blackstone, 3% Locke, 5% Hume.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
Almost all the rights enumerated in 1 through 8 [Amendments] are taken from the English Bill of Rights or from the Petition of Rights by John Selden who took from The Talmud. But for these safeguards, America would have become like Revolutionary France, says Yoram Hazony.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
'Our job is prepare an option that will be on the table when some big crisis hits and when political and religious leaders in circumstances we cannot imagine says "What do I do now?" [Spending time studying the Bible and the Talmud.] That's something we can do.'— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
"Let's drop this nonsense that Burke was the first Conservative. He stood and defended 1700 years of English tradition? What tradition was he defending if he was the first Conservative? It doesn't make any sense!"— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
"We can't control whether people will buy what we have, but we can control whether it will exist and be easily accessible." The Koran is very easily accessible, fortunately!— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
Iraq discussed by Yoram Hazony, who declares that there was virtually no one in Israeli Security and Intelligence establishment who believed it was possible to turn Iraq into a liberal democracy. He appeals to the Deep State and in particular the media to win hearts and minds,— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 9, 2018
