the conservatives deliberately released in the classical sense like edmund burke is deliberately non-systematic. and i say that not as an insult because they have good reasons for being non-systematic. their view would be life is too complex to be reducible to the one libertarian principle or to be reducible to left liberal nostrand's that we can impose on the world. life is much to varying for this and we have to use experience and we have to use our knowledge of the past and then move cautiously so you see i speak with some sympathy at this point of view. they would do the libertarian is just a hopeless ideologue who wants to force the whole wld to conform to their one principle. but i guess my sympathy for the libertarian position is at least i can pin it down to that one principle, were sometimes try to identify who is a real conservative, what is the real conservative position is like nailing jelly to a wall. >> host: you write federal bankruptcy in short may turn out to be one of the best things that ever happened to america. >> guest: i got in trouble for saying that. i think media matte

i was quoting someone-- edmund burke. but i'm glad you heard it. you're the reason i became a cop, commissioner. i see. then please, take my advice, okay? let's go. thanks for your time, sir. sure. please tell the victim how sorry i am. the death's gonna hit him hard. yeah. situations like these don't build character, they reveal it. pretty damn impressive, considering. yeah. jim, we're going out. i don't get it, reagan. i've seen you lock up hundreds of hard guys that threatened payback. why does this guy have you so spooked? love. what? when i met benjamin walker, he had nothing, jack. he was a angry and violent demolitions expert who loved to blow stuff up, mostly bank vaults. and then he fell in love with maria disalvo. is that whose house we're gonna knock on? yeah. her love was like a life raft for him. somehow, it turned his whole life around. and as a reward for good behavior, she got pregnant. thing is, she wanted him to turn around and give up the life. he promised he would, but he didn't tell her he had one more score left in him. uh-huh

individuals who were then called the new conservatives and their followers of the philosophy of edmund burke the great 18th-century statesman who argued we should honor traditions and institutions and we should honor them because they have developed for particular evolutionary reasons. was almost a bar when view of how the societies developed. we have institutions and traditions very important to our society and they have come to be the way they are because they come to work. we don't always understand exactly what they do and how they do and how they work. but wisdom is the product of experience, and wisdom has been impressed into these institutions. now, burke is frequently misunderstood as the status quo. not so, he was a reformer and he argued the paradoxically preservation required change. i could go on and talk a lot more about the philosophy but suffice it to say it was entirely incompatible with buckley. they believed in community. libertarians for individuals that believed in individualism. they disagree about liberty will as i've already alluded to. libertarians believe that libert

and we can talk about edmund burke and all of that. but at the ment, we're winessing an extremist republican party willing to ravage and savage the freedoms and liberties in the name of -- they want to say greater good, but it essentially is a corporate good. and i would argue that we're now going to witness a court next session, and jamie follows this more closely that there is a well-funded, right-wing intellectual and corporate campaign now to try and really gut the "voting rights act," which i see linked to thiss, because i think more voices, more diversity in our political system can counter some of this corporate power. and if that's gutted, we are at great risk of a monotone political system. >> and that's why i invoke "the hunger games." because i think idoesn't have anything to do with conservatism. it has to do with corporatism. and that's a completely different philosophy of government. >> or jamie has this great term, "jurist corporatists." >> jurist corporatists. >> jurist corporatists. jurist corporatists. >> so "the hung

they were followers of the philosophy of edmund burke, the great 18th century statesman.who argued that we should honor traditions and institutions and we should honor them because they have developed for particular evolutionary reasons. is almost a darwinistic view of how societies devoted. we have institutions. we have traditions. they're very important our society and have come to be the way they are because they have come to work. we don't always understand exactly what they do and how they do it and how they work, but wisdom is the product of experience, and wisdom has been impressed into these institutions. now, burke the glaze is understood as someone who clung to the status quo. not so. berg was reformer. and burke argued that paradoxically preservation required change. i could go on and talk a lot more about the burkean philosophy but suffice it to say it was entirely incompatible with buckley them. berkey and our communitarian. libertarians are individualist to a belief in individualism. they disagree about liberty. as i've already alluded to. libertarians belie
