Another "GOD" based sermon.
Very little of these five so-called tenets are based in realism, but rather idealism.
It's not about the private person, local institutions, equal rights, freedom and sound leadership...its about political candy to feed to needy citizens who are yearning to satisfying their sweet tooth for hope.
As of this day...none of these so-called tenets exist in our political and government institution...NOR WILL under any current or future governments who are empowered as ours is today.
Thank you very much for that post. Genuinely stand in awe of Mr. Kirk's wisdom....:yes:
Thanks to the site, The Imaginative Conservative, I found this profound quote from Judge Learned Hand:
I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws, and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few – as we have learned to our sorrow.
Thanks Wessexman.
It would be a strange sort of sermon if it wasn't.Another "GOD" based sermon.
This... Very... Intelligent... Honest... Person...

And by "real" you just happen to mean like one brand of conservatism, right? Not like any other forms of conservatism have been popular throughout American and world history, right?
Excellent choice in Burke. I also recommend reading Russell Kirk who is a disciple of Burke's. An excellent read is The Conservative Mind by Kirk.
How come, T?
It is a good read I own a copy of the The Conservative Mind.
When I hear conservative, I think of a person who wants small government, free markets, and believes highly in the second amendment. And guess what, all of those are good things.
I'd like to change my answer.
I think of bls.gov.
