re: #52 Charles

Here’s the book — I recommend it:

The Death of Conservatism: Sam Tanenhaus.

I think that I shall read it, I saw him on Book TV a couple weeks back. I trust the content is a little more reasoned than the title. To declare Conservatism dead, as opposed to the power that be within the current Republican Party, is to deny the tendency/instinct of at least half of the population.

No doubt it will take time to recompose Conservatism politically, but the natural desire to preserve will not simply die and become “progressive”.
