Please do, and Burke as well. Kirk was a great American conservative.

The link is on Burke's writing. I don't know the author, and I assume he posts here. Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France became a seminal book in the modern conservative movement.

Hmm, I may actually owe you an apology. It seems Milo’s antics were a bit worse than I knew. Some of the original stuff may have been sarcasm, but after finding some of the other comments.... I am not sure how that would have been sarcasm. It would have been nice to see him become a Christian but retain his firebrand attitude. In the end, the wages of sin are death. In his case, a political and financial death.

I wrote my senior paper on the horrors of the French Revolution, so I am rather familiar with reading Burke. I would never condone that type of rampant anarchy by either side.

(And one excellent recommend by me is “The Road to Serfdom” by Friedrich Hayek. Make sure to check that one out if you haven’t)
