No. Conservatism has outlived its redefinition.
That is the very heart and soul of liberals / progs. They know exactly how you should live your life. It ends with the Soviets and their "New Soviet Man" where they were going to cast out all old values and build a "new man" with progressive values. Murdering tens of millions was just a speed bump.
The Soviet effort to create the New Soviet Man was an ideological campaign to transform individuals into ideal communist citizens who embodied socialist values, collectivism, and devotion to the state. It began after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and was rooted in Marxist-Leninist ideology.
“But what, precisely, a conservative is trying to conserve is not always clear”
Answer: Western Civilization.
The Left wants to destroy it..
.....As Russell Kirk noted, social conservatism (and really there is no other kind).

Absolutely 100% Correct.
This is who the NAACP is.

I heal savage (who I can not listen to more then two minutes) has it defined simply as “Border, language, and culture.”
It doesn’t have to be complicated.
Conservatives killed themselves as they never knew how to fight in the gutter and learn to win.
Sure. Talk of free trade and a borderless world is dead. We have to rebuild our own industries. The Cold War is over and just what the “Free World” is isn’t as clear as we once thought it was. We also have to recognize that today’s Americans aren’t what they once were. The “minimal state” isn’t coming back.
On the other hand, we are going to have to cut the debt and the deficit. We are going to have to cut government spending like conservatives said they always wanted to (but never got around to doing), but the spirit’s different now than it was. “National Review” isn’t going to be leading the way.
Pure unmitigated garbage!
Communist-inspired drivel...
Good one.
I’d break out in song but I don’t want to wake up my cat.
Alleged “visibility on FR” only demonstrates Pew’s ability to stoke prejudices.
Tucker is drinking the left’s kool aid so he can stay relevant.
He seems to have forgitten hiw radicals assaulted his home at night when he ws absent and his wife and children alone.
No one talks abiout the obvious loberal fascism that conservatives have bridled successfully.
Some of these people like Tuckerseem to forget that the left and democrats create conservatives with their use of violence and aggression.
Being Conservative is a necessary defense mechanism for those who value freedom. Thankfully we are an 80% majority.
Surely you don’t see getting dragged into Bibi’s wars as “conservative”?
