RUSSELL KIRK GETS IT

Kirk was a leading conservative intellectual and his book The Conservative Mind (1953) can be considered the beginning of the revival of the conservative movement in America. I've been reading an intellectual biography of Kirk, subtly titled RUSSELL KIRK, by James E. Person. On page 27, I found this interesting quote:

"There is nothing more conservative than conservation" - Russell Kirk

I've noted before that Kirk would probably be uncomfortable with the neo-cons and this statement confirms that.
