"First, the conservative believes that there exists an enduring moral order. That order is made for man, and man is made for it; human nature is a constant, and moral truths are permanent."
So many Liberaltarians think theyre Conservatives but in reality social conservatism goes hand in hand with fiscal conservatism 100% of the time.
With the proviso that I have certainly been in the ranks of those who castigate dogmatic, ideological libertarianism, I also count some principled libertarians as fellows in common cause.
Kirk changed his wording of that first principle over the years. He did it in a manner that now includes many principled libertarians, and yes, even some who are non-believers.
Where originally Kirk used the word "Transcendant" in that principle, by the end of his life he had begun to use "Enduring". I know that with this wording many libertarians, certainly a group with alliegance to the "moral", can allow themselves as holding with this current wording of that principle.
I can hardly be less open to them than Kirk (the terrible foe of "ideology") was as his life advanced.
I have heard it said that you can find non-libertarian conservatives who see the progression of our true society as Order=>>Morality=>>Freedom, while libertarian conservatives see it as Freedom=>>Morality=>>Order. All of the ingrediants are there in both formulas.
