| 00:00:00 | COMES FROM THIS IDEA THAT THEY ARE THE SKILLS AND THE SET OF KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED TO DESERVE YOUR FREEDOM AND PROTECT IT IN A SOCIETY AND MOST OF THE CONSERVATIVE SCHOOLS I KNOW, THEY ARE ONLY -- LARGELY CONSERVATIVE IN THE NORMAL SENSE IN THAT THEY ARE NOT LEFT-WING ADVOCACY INSTITUTIONS. |
| 00:00:19 | SO IN SOME WAYS IT IS AN UNFAIR THING TO LUMP THEM IN THAT WAY. |
| 00:00:25 | THE ONES I'VE EXPERIENCED SO FAR DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF NOT FALLING INTO THAT SAME TRAP. |
| 00:00:31 | IF ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO CHINA IN, PLEASE. |
| 00:00:35 | >> ABSOLUTELY. THE EASIEST THING TO DO FOR CONSERVATIVES TO HAVE OTHERS TO DO ARGUE WITH EACH OTHER. |
| 00:00:41 | I LEARNED VERY QUICKLY AT YALE THAT ARE DOING WITH A LIBERAL IS EASILY DONE AND THAT HE CAN THROW A ROCK AND HIT ONE AND WHAT EVER YOU SAY WILL MAKE HIM ANGRY, BUT NOT TERRIBLY INTERESTING MORE FRUITFUL, BECAUSE OF COURSE THE DOMINANT CULTURE AND THE ARE NOT ALWAYS ESPECIALLY WELL INFORMED. |
| 00:01:00 | SO, I MEAN, I AM A SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE, I AM A BIRDIE AND AND AND I FOUND SOME LIBERTARIANS. |
| 00:01:08 | I THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHOSE RIDING I WILL READ RIGHT NOW, THE PERSON THAT I DISAGREE WITH MOST RELIABLY IS WILL WILKINSON, THE LIBERAL. |
| 00:01:20 | SO DIFFUSIONISM, THE REASON WE HAVE A NAME FOR THAT IS THAT IT WAS VERY, VERY HARD TO GET TRADITIONAL LIBERTARIANS TO GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER SO THAT CAN ALSO BE BETTER. |
| 00:01:32 | >> I WILL SAY ONE THING IN DEFENSE OF WILL WILKINSON. |
| 00:01:36 | ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I EVER HEARD ABOUT HELEN IS WELL WILKINSON WAS CRITICIZING HER ONLINE FOR SAYING THAT HELEN SAID WE SHOULD REJECT OBAMACARE IN PART BECAUSE IT IS MERELY A RATES AND DIMINISHES SUFFERING, AND WILL POINTED OUT IN A WAY I THINK IS VERY FAIR THAT THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO CONVINCE MOST PEOPLE TO EMBRACE OBAMACARE. |
| 00:02:02 | DON'T MOST PEOPLE WANT TO DECREASE OFFERING? |
| 00:02:06 | >> BILL'S CHARACTER. |
| 00:02:10 | [LAUGHTER] >> AND I THINK YOU'LL FIND A LOT HELEN'S POSITIONS ARE GUIDED BY THE DESIRE TO INCREASE SUFFERING >> IM CATHOLIC. |
| 00:02:21 | [LAUGHTER] >> THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN IT. |
| 00:02:27 | >> TO START CONNECTING THE DOTS AND REALIZE IT'S LIKE AN OLD-TIME FASHION CATHOLIC MORAL LIST ALMOST ALWAYS DEFENDING SOMETHING THAT MOST OF US WOULD FIND A PERFECT WEATHER IT IS CORRUPT POLITICIANS OVER REFORMERS, BARBARA -- BAR BRAWLERS SHALL DEFEND ONE MOMENT BUT DEFEND PROSTITUTES AND BAD GIRLS THE NEXT SO SHE'S SORT OF LIKE A LIBERTARIAN BUT THE FIRST THING SHE WANTS TO REPEAL AND HAVE LAW AGAINST ASSAULT SO THAT MEN GET INTO MORE FISTFIGHTS OR LIVE UNDER THE THREAT OF THE CONSTANT FIST FIGHTS. |
| 00:03:08 | [LAUGHTER] AND SHE PRAISES THE COMBATIVENESS OF THE PARTY OF THE RIGHT, AND I THINK WHEN YOU READ THAT IF SOMEBODY IS INVOKING CATHOLICISM AND REFERENCES TO G. |
| 00:03:17 | K. CHESTERTON YOU TEND TO ASSUME BETWEEN THE CRACKS OF THE WORLD VIEW THERE MUST BE SOME UNDERLINING ICEBERG OF TRADITIONAL MORALITY, BUT ARE WE SO SURE, COULD THERE BE SOMETHING DARKER GOING ON IN HER THINKING? |
| 00:03:38 | >> I KNOW THE GAMESMANSHIP WITHIN THE PARTY OF THE RIGHT HAS SOMETIMES TAKEN BRUTAL FORMS THAT WENT FAR BEYOND JUST POLITICAL SPARRING. |
| 00:03:47 | >> FIGHT GLOVE. |
| 00:03:48 | >> YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THE PARTY OF THE RIGHT FIGHT CLUB. |
| 00:03:52 | [LAUGHTER] SHE SAID IT, NOT ME. |
| 00:03:54 | >> LIKE I SAID, EACH OTHER. |
| 00:03:57 | >> I SHOULD CONFESS HELEN AND I DATED FOR TWO YEARS. |
| 00:04:00 | [LAUGHTER] SO WE HAVE SPARRED ABOUT MANY THINGS. |
| 00:04:03 | IT MIGHT COME AS A SURPRISE TO SOME OF YOU NOT PARTICULARLY OF IDEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES BUT PROBABLY SOME PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM WHO ALSO DATED HELENE D. |
| 00:04:13 | DURING THOSE TWO YEARS. |
| 00:04:16 | GIVEN HOW TUMULTUOUS THINGS GOT. |
| 00:04:18 | [LAUGHTER] IF IT IS ON AGAIN AND OFF AGAIN. |
| 00:04:21 | >> I'M IN FAVOR OF COMBATIVENESS. |
| 00:04:24 | >> AND HER GAMESMANSHIP WOULD INCLUDE THINGS LIKE AT ONE POINT SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO PLAY MATCHMAKER AND SET UP A COUPLE AND THEN TO PLAY WITH HIS MIND AND HEARD THE WOMAN, WHICH WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT IS PRETTY CREEPY, KIND OF DISTURBING. |
| 00:04:41 | >> IS THIS GOING ON C-SPAN? |
| 00:04:43 | >> THIS IS ALL ON C-SPAN. |
| 00:04:45 | [LAUGHTER] >> FOR THE RECORD -- >> FIVE MONTHS LATER SHE MADE GOOD ON THIS SOMEWHAT DISTURBING PROMISE, AND I DOUBT ANYONE SURE WHO KNOWS ME WELL REALLY THINKS I AM MAKING THIS UP, SO I CAN'T HELP WONDERING WHEN YOU STRIP AWAY THE THINGS YOU DON'T LIKE, LIKE ALLAN BLOOM'S VALUES AND TRADITION WHICH WHAT IS IT YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO DO TO EACH OTHER? |
| 00:05:08 | WHAT BEYOND THE PALE WHEN YOU HAVE ENCOURAGED THE WORLD OF THIS SORT OF BOXING AND BRAWLING AND FIGHTING AND HURTING EACH OTHER AND SADOMASOCHISTIC WAY? |
| 00:05:19 | >> I THINK SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO RESPOND ON THIS ONE. |
| 00:05:23 | [LAUGHTER] >> OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHAT DO I THINK IS OFF-BALANCE? |
| 00:05:26 | I DON'T KNOW, DON'T LET YOUR HEART OUT ON C-SPAN. |
| 00:05:32 | [LAUGHTER] >> PERHAPS. |
| 00:05:33 | I JUST THINK THIS IS A DARKNESS THAT CAN BE CONCEALED BY REFERENCES TO TRADITION AND GHS KURSON AND SOMETHING SCARY WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT RATHER BEEN THINKING IT'S FUN AND GAMES, IT IS DISTURBING AS THE REST. |
| 00:05:49 | OKAY, SO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE GENERIC BALAD? |
| 00:05:53 | [LAUGHTER] >> IN THE BACK, YES. |
| 00:05:59 | >> YOU STUDY AND WRITE ABOUT CONTEMPORARY POLITICS, THINGS YOU SEE IN THE HEADLINES, BARACK OBAMA, THE |
