Conservatism's Exaggerated Death Sep 4, 2009

But it is remarkable that having offered classical conservatism as a cure to contemporary conservatism, and though noting that by 1966 "Conservative alarms about the New Deal were beginning to sound like prophecies about Great Society hubris," he should fail to give their due to the good classical-conservative grounds for fearing the growth of state power.

NPP Needs a Cohesive Akan Constituency to Win and Maintain Power! Jun 19, 2009
And so, naturally, our first and foremost admonishment to the NPP membership, as the latter heads for its national confabulation, is to religiously ensure that such centrifugal ethnic separatism promptly gives way to the salutary forging of a hermetically centripetal Akan Meta-Nation.
