There are all kinds of “conservatives”. Its a very broad catch-all that includes a vast zoo of philosophies. Its pretty hard to limit whats in the tent because of that. At various times people have described conservatism as not an ideology, but a rejection of ideologies.
I urge everyone interested in actual conservative ideas to pick up a copy of Russel Kirk’s “The Conservative Mind”.
Goodness. How many of you people are on FR? This is distressing. The owner had better wake up.
