One man's definition of Conservatism damookster Send a noteboard - 13/08/2021 10:12:27 PM

I'm not going to attribute this quote just yet but will leave it anonymous for now.

"When I think of the soul of Anglo-American conservatism, I think of limited government, incremental change, a concern for social cohesion, and a defense of old-school liberalism — a free press, free speech, free association, free markets, freedom of religion.
I think of a government eager to ensure that capitalism can work without excessive government intervention, but also a dedication to enforcing the integrity of the market — busting monopolies, regulating stock markets, prosecuting corruption. I think of a conservatism that enforces borders, but has no issue with vibrant, moderate immigration."


This is very close to my personal viewpoint.

Any thoughts from others?

No for you do not make it personal, Greg does. I do not measure up to his "satisfaction" - 24/08/2021 07:21:13 AM 123 Views
