This is a pathetic attitude, and shows how rootless cosmopolitanism has infected even "conservative" thought... we can't have a healthy relation to the past, we are all forced to expose our father's nakedness, again and again.. https://twitter.com/SohrabAhmari/status/1194266515736088581
one of the great assets of patriotism is being able to be at home with your nation's history, warts and all. You may rue some of it, but because it is yours (and you can't do anything about it anyway), you don't spend your days re-litigating every crime of the past...
I'm sure I'd have fun with my Federalist bros calling Jefferson an antichrist, if I lived back then. What kind of loser wants to re-argue the election of 1800 now? Have you gained no wisdom, no magnanimity?
even "trads" end up sounding like petulant children when they get too fervid about the past, as if spitting on their fathers' graves could win them any battle in the present day. you should thank you ancestors for their errors...you can learn from them
if "political Catholicism" is nothing but a tool of resentment, it really is no different from any other leftist ideology. just another excuse to tear down statues and build up...what?
