now it was certainly a good thing that america escaped religious fanaticism and political tierney, but no previous president ever credited this achievement to the founders' rejection of absolute truth, views known as truth. [laughter] would becomes of the self- evident truth that abraham lincoln celebrated and risk all to preserve? that much in the picking jr. invoked so dramatically from the lincoln memorial? let's just say that obama is wrangling with this question promises to be instructive. the future of american culture will depend on whether we get beyond the post-modernism, beyond the assumption that all values are relative. if we do, that really would be the second american revolution. in reagan's farewell address, not as well-known as it should be, he admitted by implication that he had not succeeded in bringing about a second american revolution. he admitted modestly that perhaps he had affected with other people called "a reagan." but that fell short of the second american revolution. he concluded in the address by recommending to americans that they study history and the po

they like to accuse the left of politicizing our culture, imposing a tierney of political correctness on everything from jokes to marriage laws. the rights point is that culture should be above, or protected from the political order, that art, litton, and private life should be shielded from political encouragement. the job of politics and according to most conservatives should be to conserve culture in the sense of people's evolved sincsentiments and with blood. politicians grow out of an be subordinate to culture. not try to invent or reinvented. whatever good census contained in these reservations, a conservative should be aware of talking themselves into being second-class citizens, according to which liberals would be free to change culture, but conservatives are duty bound to preserve it. this is not a fair or wise bargain. it is cultural determinism for one party owning, freedom for the other.

you cannot block tierney or dogmatism without argumentation. but how you argue is a civil concern. we're going to have to think this through from a legal system as well as the circumstances of individual citizens talking to each other. >> that is also the power of culture. if culture breaks down, laws themselves cannot entirely fill the gap. >> i know there is a guest at the roundtable today you want to say a few words about. >> i want to recognize albert small. albert has just won the national humanities metal and could not come to the ceremony with ted sorensen. i think he deserves it be noted. albert, you have been one of the -- [applause] albert stands out uniquely as one of the great benefactors of the humanities. he has put together one of the greatest intellectual collections that i have known of in american history, including several of the original declaration of independence, which are words we are very proud of, and given them to the university of virginia, where there is a center named for albert. thank you, albert. >> with that brief encomium, i would like to open up t

was essentially a unconcerned with the possibility of majority tierney and the protection of individual property rights. in fact, a speech on the right of the people claims property rights and human rights are opposed to one another they did not as the founders understood them come out of personhood but obstructing the senate social welfare programs that they wanted to employ. he sees this very clearly but it also appears to buy into the notion that wilson diverged in this point* and refers at one point* to a philosophical dispute to t.r. and wilson with the appropriate balance between what rights and duties and refers to wilson's defense of natural rights and claims that will send celebrated the declaration of independence it is true that wilson did celebrate the declaration of independence but when he did so he did a by first insisting americans not repeat the process that that part which enshrines natural rights as the permanent and a government he made the insistence repeated the and i do not believe it is an exaggeration to say his primary mission was to undercut and eliminate natu
