"Conservatism consists of six fundamental tenets: first, the conviction that God's divine will governs society and morality, that it establishes an eternal link between rights and duties, and that political questions are essentially religious and moral; second, cherish the colorful and mysterious traditional life, and the vivid and powerful outlook on life with "pleasant fun"; Thirdly, there should be multiple orders and hierarchies in a civilized society, and the only true equality is moral equality, and the enforced equality of legislation will lead mankind to despair; Fourth, private property is inseparable from freedom, and if private property is abolished, freedom will cease to exist; Fifth, believing in old habits, man must restrain his will and desires, because man is dominated by emotions rather than reason; Sixth, change is not exactly the same as reform, slow change is the way to self-preservation, and blindly seeking innovation will lead to a fire of destruction. ”

"I admit that the many challenges facing the United States at the moment, such as the Soviet Union on the other side of the Pacific, are visible, and on the contrary more challenges come from more hidden places, the Enlightenment, the romantic philosophy of Rousseau and his allies, the utilitarianism of Bentham, the positivism of Comte, and the collectivism and materialism of M. Marx and other socialists. Except for the last one, everything else is embraced by our European allies"

"But unfortunately, we can see that these five genres seem to be completely fine, but when we peel back their skin, we can see that they have many similarities, which is extremely disturbing"

The common concerns of these five schools are: the recognition of the infinite nature of social progress; contempt for tradition, rejection of Christianity, belief that human reason, impulsiveness, and material determinism can make people happy; political equalization, contempt for order and privilege, and the idea of direct democracy as much as possible; Economic equalization, questioning and even trying to eradicate private property rights. ”

As the conversation unfolded, a slight discussion began to erupt in the opera house.

If just now the audience thought that Edward's self-proclaimed conservatives were really playing tricks, now they are conquered.

However, it is not after a long period of thinking, as well as a large number of reading classics and relevant academic training, that it is difficult for ordinary people to summarize the characteristics of conservatism so accurately, and point out that the enemy it faces is also the enemy of the United States.

This is exactly what Edward designed in advance, dealing with the public, it is nothing more than bribery and intimidation, the former asks for money, and this is two ordinary people debating whether it will be a presidential election, and there is no need to write blank checks below.

In addition, from a human point of view, intimidation is the best way to persuade people.

Giving the public a whole bunch of inexplicable enemies and then telling them that they can only solve them if they listen to me, that's how the leader was born.

"As I said, I'm a conservative, and it's my admiration for the rules of conservatism that makes me an advocate for Harry Rems, and I'm going to defend the principles of conservatism with my actions, and we support a colorful world, even if it's imperfect, and even hurts us, but all of you here are as convinced as I am that an imperfect world is better than a seemingly perfect world, and that crisp perfection is inherently more imperfect than our imperfection!"

"We are convinced that God's divine will governs each other's sense of morality and morality, even if "Deep Throat" is a film, but if our morality can be completely corrupted by just such a film, then we should reflect on ourselves, we should think and ask ourselves, our admiration for God is still too insufficient, any devout believer can get enough faith and courage from God's light at any time to get rid of the negative moral impact of the real society. This effect can be a colleague lying, or it can be some bad thoughts and emotions after watching "Deep Throat".

Okay, isn't it just a competition to sing high-pitched? Edward was very helpless in his heart, this was not his favorite way of arguing, this kind of debate on the morality of the game made him feel very uncomfortable, but there was no way, the audience ate this, and sure enough, this fierce and selfish words made everyone fall into silence.

It worked.

"One gentleman said he really admired human beings and thought it was amazing. Because although I have evolved thinking ability and intelligence, I choose not to use it many times, which is really very chic. Edward told a joke.

"There is a lot of truth in this, there is laziness in the seven deadly sins, laziness does not only mean unwillingness to go to work, in fact the laziness of the heart and mind is even more terrible, it will make us no longer pray all the time, no longer think of God all the time, no longer absorb the wisdom and courage he gives us all the time."

"We've worked so hard to get this great country to come about, and when Washington crossed the river, he faced more difficulties than we could have imagined, and how disappointed would he be if he had lived to this day and seen us yelling and killing with a hundred times more spirit, just because it might ruin our hearts? If we had used our shouting and killing efforts to pray and read the Bible, I think the dirt would have been washed away long ago. ”

"I can say that 'Deep Throat' is really not very moral, but it is a moral problem that cannot be solved by law. If morality is used instead of law, it is actually immorality instead of law! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience applauded thunderously.

The people of the United States especially eat this kind of golden sentence, so the United States has also given birth to the world's largest number of successful scholars and liars, and with the continuous rise of its national strength and continue to export to the world, the United States-Japan-vvvv-Continent, although someone has not been cheated of money in the previous life, but for a long time, this thing is a public nuisance.

Mike Wallace also joined the applause, his duty as the host is to maintain order on the scene, but he can also retain his personal judgment likes and dislikes, as long as this judgment does not affect the fairness of his scene, his applause on the stage can increase the highlights.

At this moment, he put his finger in his mouth and began to whistle.

Edward felt a little regretful, what he said just now was good, as a debate or speech, it can be called a classic, and it will affect it for a long time to come.

It's a pity that there are rules for debate, and today's one is actually a bit of American wrestling, which looks quite intense, but it's actually a fake fight.

If it's not about campaigning, most debates are actually no different from performances, and their core purpose is to entertain the audience, and in the process of entertaining the audience, to convey American ideas and ideological shaping, and by the way, to make a difference.

There are many rules for this kind of debate, such as not attacking people, and turning over old accounts and black materials.

This makes someone very unhappy, after all, William Buckley Jr. supported McCarthy and agreed with racist policies, all of which had a real hammer, and it would be so cool if he could turn it over on the spot.

Of course, such a thick-skinned person can claim that "everyone has a corresponding concept at each time, and sincerely believes that this concept is correct." ”

That's right, and it can cancel out a lot of attack power, what is cute someone is best at, tearing and fighting a bad fight!

Come up and first turn over the old accounts and muddy the waters, and then drag the opponent and yourself to roll in the mud, and then defeat it with your previous experience, this is the only way to fight in the Internet era, but unfortunately, it was sealed...... It's a pity.

William Barkley Jr. hurriedly began to fight back, but he was weak, after all, Edward's self-proclaimed conservative routine was completely unexpected, and the tone was set higher, the voice was louder, and most importantly, it was supported by a complete theoretical system.

It's like knowing that he is a blue-hat officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he wants to arrest a counter-revolutionary, but when he knocks on the door, he finds the other party holding Bobosha: "Comrade, I am from the GRU, I think you have a lot of misunderstandings about me, now I want to give you a little life experience...... and then the other party began to explain from "Lenin's Complete Works".

……

At the moment, he must withstand Edward's attack, but it is difficult, after all, the six highly generalized guidelines proposed by the other party are actually what he abides by, there are differences in details but most of them are the same, no matter where he attacks, the other party can counterattack from multiple angles, and it is not even ruled out that this is a deliberately set trap.

William Barkley Jr., turning his mind, felt that it was better not to entangle this guy, you beat yours and I beat mine, as for the result......

Anyway, I didn't win or lose, as long as I didn't fall behind on the field.

"If we subscribe to Edward Young's philosophical transcendental model, then we will gradually see that one day fifteen or sixteen-year-old children will be doing those things in public and in broad daylight, and in fact there are already signs of this. Whether it's Beverly Hills Haili Malibu Beach, if you pay attention to the news, you can find that in recent years, it has become a high incidence of adolescent bad behavior, this is a noble residential area, but what about those slums? ”

"Think about it, how many years have passed since Eisenhower said, 'A girl's ankle is beautiful, but her knee is not'? The moral standards of our young people are in a super-high-speed landslide, fifteen years ago showing their thighs was a challenge to old customs, today L Jiao has become a symbol of a new way of life, I wonder how the founding fathers would have felt when they saw this? ”

"Fifteen years, if we don't take urgent action to remedy it now, what will happen fifteen years from now? I don't know, but I think God is not going to sit idly by and punish us for our disrespect and immorality in His own way. ”

"What about 15 years from now?" Edward's eyes rolled and he thought to himself, "That's 1985?" God punishes, sure enough, God stick, wait...... If memory serves, there was a big AIDS outbreak at that time...... Tsk, speaking of which, this thing is not too godly. It's a good idea. ”

The two sides went back and forth, and after 2 hours of performance, Mike Wallace announced the end of the game.

Players from both sides exit......

This is the end of the matter, there is no winner or loser, both sides declare that they have won the game and conquered the audience and opponents, and the next day the newspapers will interpret it according to their respective positions, everything will follow the process, this is the political debate in the United States.

That night, Edward was staying in San Francisco, and when he was thinking about going to the debt repayment with two private stylists, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Larry...... Edward opened the door, "why are you here?" ”

"Hahaha, congratulations to you my friend, well, also my lawyer, you said what you said today...... It's beautiful, when you say you're a conservative, you don't see Buckley's face stinks like it, like jb that has just licked a homeless man."

"Okay, okay" Edward raised his hand in surrender, and the other party's tiger and wolf words were a headache, and he said so in the corridor of a high-end hotel......

"Ed, you're here......" Larry Flint leaned back on the couch.

"Huh? Did Larry Parry sue you? ”

"That's not all...... It's me who is involved in another trouble, a trivial trouble...... Yes, need your help......"

Edward's face turned blue......

It's certainly an opportunity to make money, but ......

Right, Larry Flint is a man of God, always between sobriety and madness, the point is that no one knows his exact state, he may be crazy now, and the next moment he will become a shrewd businessman, and of course the other way around.

The reason is simple, Larry and Edward have said before that "Larry's Hillbilly" paradise has just opened, in order to cope with the three shifts of customers, the bar is open 24 hours, as a fledgling poor ghost entrepreneur, he can't afford to hire too many security guards and waiters, so he can only watch in person.

The bars are all rough blue-collar workers on the GM assembly line, and Larry is in charge of maintaining order with a revolver on his shoulder.

He only sleeps 4 hours a day, and the rest of the time is busy in the bar, which normal people must not be able to bear, so he can only rely on medicine...... Meth...... The gadgets used by the Third Reich to dope the German baguette became Larry's favorite.

This thing works very well, and you can not sleep for three days after one shot, but the side effect is that it can damage the brain......

"Listen, Ed, it's easy, I'm in a little trouble......" Larry Flint began to nag

"I hope it's a real little trouble......" said Edward weakly

"You know what I'm doing, I always have to broaden my business, and I can't print magazines all the time. Plus "Deep Throat" exploded, so I invested in a small adult film distribution company. ”

"Huh?" Edward is a little interested, at least it seems to be a regular case, for him, it is the first thing to receive a case, a fledgling young lawyer, practicing on his own, is a difficult thing, because there is no connection, no market, and naturally no income.

Next, Larry Flint's introduction to the case made Edward quite ridiculous, how to put it, this is also a strange case.

Larry Flint's company is based in New York City, and his main business is in New York State.

He got the distribution rights to a movie called Belinda.

Hairy pieces, very hairy kinds.

At least it doesn't lose to "Deep Throat", but it's a complete disaster at the box office.

Fortunately, the cost is not expensive, and Larry doesn't care.

The film was almost unattended, and one day a small movie theater owner in Buffalo ordered Larry for a copy of "Belinda."

Larry's employee shipped the goods without saying a word.

But the number of employees is limited, and it is impossible to personally run from New York to Buffalo for a copy, although they are all in New York State, but the distance is quite far.

So I found a simpler way, and there are several long-distance buses from New York City to Buffalo every day, which is commonly known as Greyhound.

Larry's staff stuffed the driver on duty with two dollars and told him to put the copy on the bus, and when he got to the terminal, someone from Buffalo would pick it up.

This kind of thing is very common, and the driver has an average income and is happy to earn a little extra money.

The copy was delivered safely that night.

Everything is very logical.

But Belinda caught the attention of FBI agents, and soon after received an indictment from federal prosecutors in Buffalo, N.Y.
