So where does the conservatism of, say, Burke fit in all this?

Why cloud the issue with dead 18th-century males?

Wasn't Burke a royalist, after all?

Why cloud the issue with dead 18th-century males?

If you don't examine that cloud, you can't see the sky itself. If you start your examination of conservatism with the side-track of the son of a interesting conservative, a son who is less than a leading light, I think you are in a dark cave.
