Conservative ideology (in a progressive nation)

The Conservative Mind - The Chronicle Review - The Chronicle of Higher Education:


Reactionary radicals. (via)


Typically, the conservative attempts to conserve, to hold on to the values of the existing society. But ... what if the existing society is inherently hostile to conservative beliefs?

This means that the conservative must ... be philosophically conservative but temperamentally radical.
