A very good list of the essentials of conservatism. Russell Kirk - “Conservatism is something more than mere solicitude for tidy incomes.”
TOPICS: Education; Government; History; Society
KEYWORDS: edmundburke; russellkirk
As true today as ever. Sowell wrote of the constrained vision. Just so. All attempts to externalize of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth are doomed to failure. Conservatives understand human nature, liberals don't.

Thank you for posting this link to this bit of wisdom by the wonderful man and conservator of enduring ideas: Dr. Russell Kirk.
He was a national treasure whose work remains for all who wish to gain a better understanding.
