8 Western Carolinian March 23, Features The Enigma That is Politics A brief discourse on the opposing parties in our government Jim Phillips Staff Reporter This speedy world, with all of its capriciousness, its overnight innovations and fast changes often loses those sharp distinctions people rely upon to make sense of things. The world of politics is no different, when in a November day the whole political structure can be changed in an instant, replacing Foley, Cuomo, and Richards with Bush, Gingrich, and D'Amato. Thus, to the casual observer politics can seem like an abstraction in which nothing except the names changes, and then only rarely. The miasma that is the United States political system, with its complexities and sometimes inherent confusion can tempt even the most careful of us to answer the seemingly abstract with oversimplification: "Liberal and Conservative are just labels," for instance, or "There's no difference between a Republican and a Democrat." Quite often an incredulous person will conclude after reading a newspaper, "They're all just politicians." The danger in oversimplification is great because at the core of our political system beat two very different and incompatible hearts. One can safely speak of the Republican Party as the party of conservatives and the Democratic Party as the party of liberals, even though there are always going to be exceptions, such as William Weld and Bob Kerry. Southern Democrats have long been. thought of as conservative, while many Republicans have been classified as fiscal conservatives and social moderates. However, this does not underscore the vast differences between the two dominant competing philosophies in American politics. What, then are the differences? The great political philosopher, critic, and man of literature, Russell Kirk, provides an accurate list of the fundamental elements of conservative and liberal thought which may help end the political confusion that a lot of people suffer from. According to Kirk, there are six cannons of conservative philosophy: • A belief in transcendent order, or a body of natural law which governs both society and conscience. Hence, political and societal problems are fundamentally moral and religious problems. • The belief that a civilized society must have orders and classes, in contrast to the notion of a "classless society." Kirk states, it is for this reason, conservatives have been called the "party of order." • The belief that property and freedom are closely linked. If property is separated from private possessions, what Thomas Hobbes called Leviathan fills the vacuum and becomes all powerful. • A faith in prescription and distrust of those who would "reconstruct society on abstract designs." Conservatives believe that tradition places severe checks on the "innovator's lust for power" and curbs "man's anarchic impulse." According to Kirk, since the time of Rousseau, liberalism has followed along four dominant lines: • Belief in the perfectibility of man and the unlimited progress of society. Liberals tend to believe that education, positive legislation and alteration of environment can produce inherently better people. • Material condition and reason are considered by liberals as better guides for social welfare than the collective texts of our past. Liberals, in general, favor numerous, equal ideologies. • "Political leveling." The ideal of most liberals is direct democracy, as opposed to parliamentary systems of government. Order and classes are sometimes decried as inherently ethnocentric. Thus, liberals prefer political centralization and consolidation. • "Economic leveling." Collectiv- istic reform is preferred to private property. The proposed consolidation of the health care system is an example. One may add that conservatives and liberals differ fundamentally on the role of government in America. Conservatives generally are suspicious of governmental intrusion into almost any area of society while liberals generally view government as a helping hand. No matter the nuances, these differences are fundamental and show clearly why parties cannot be explained away as mere labels. In politics it is vital to know what you are purchasing in .the whole when you vote for one person. this commentary are the academic views of Jim Phillips, and are not necessarily the views of the Western Carolinian. /f Jazz Composer Jim McNeeley to Give Lessom in Jazz at WCU Jon Rush Staff Reporter Jim McNeely, jazz composer/ arranger/pianist, will be in WCU's music department on April 3 and April 4.
