The father of modern Conservatism would be Barry Goldwater.

Yes...Goldwater - and Buckley too, no? But it seems to me that as far as the true father of Conservatism - wouldn’t that be Edmund Burke? It seems to me that Levin has talked about Hobbes negatively and described Burke as the father of Conservatism.
