Conservatism is not the problem. conservatism is the founding of this country, essentially. conservatism isn't even really an ideology. conservatism is just what is right, proper, decent, and moral. that's all it is.

I think there's a growing amount of confusion about what conservatism is. and it is time for us to understand that conservatism is not built on personalities. conservatism is not simply built on how angry you might seem from time to time. conservatism is built on a set of principles and ideas that our nation desperately needs.

Antiquity! thou wondrous charm, what art thou? that being nothing art everything? when thou wert, thou wert not antiquity - then thou wert nothing, but hadst a remoter antiquity, as thou calledst it, to look back to with blind veneration; thou thyself being to thyself flat, jejune, modern! what mystery lurks in this retroversion? or what half januses are we, that cannot look forward with the same idolatry with which we for ever revert! the mighty future is as nothing, being everything! the past is everything, being nothing!

F you analyze it i believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. i think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals - if we were back in the days of the revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the liberals and the liberals would be the tories. the basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.
