Entry: Wolfe's Howl Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/wolfes_folly#2006 Post contents: Russell Kirk goes out of his way to point out the European conservatism of the American Founding Fathers. Protestantism is not a 'conservative' force. It is revolutionary; hence Protestantism is inherently non-conservative. Second, a majority of the FFofA were Masons. Some were Deists. What the FFofA wanted to do was to create a Novus Ordo. They purposely rejected the Old Order of Europe. To say that the FFofA were conservatives is a hoot. They were Nihilists. The American revolution was just that Nihilist. Anything that destroys, undermines the Old Order, is Nihilism. The FFofA were not strident Nilhilists like communists or socialists; they were soft nihilists. Sent at: 2008 07 24
