One can’t post too much Russell Kirk. Next to my screen-name namesake I have found few others as worth reading.

If one wants to get the true breadth of conservative thought and a real insight into its history, Kirk is where I recommend they start.

“One can’t post too much Russell Kirk. Next to my screen-name namesake I have found few others as worth reading.”

One for the road, then;

“Mere unthinking negative opposition to the current of events, clutching in despair at what we still retain, will not suffice in this age. A conservatism of instinct must be reinforced by a conservatism of thought and imagination.”
—Russell Kirk

I guess we can’t just keep clinging to our guns and religion, eh? How about some reinforcement by FreePAC?
