A Thought For “Intellectual Conservatives”:
Mark Steyn in an interview: American conservatism is much more populist than British conservatism or what passes for conservatism on the Continent. There are simply no equivalents to, say, the gun nuts or the religious right in Britain or Europe. You can imagine what American conservatism would be like without those big grass-roots forces, and in Britain it is.
It’s not very popular in some circles to be a religious conservative, but the coalition of intellectual conservatives and the religious ones is what makes the Republicans the majority party in the country. God knows I’d rather put up with some ideas I don’t like on the winning sideline than know I’m right after a series of bloody losses.
