Entry: My Book Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/my_book#4396 Post contents: Indeed there are a lot of flavors of conservatism. A conservative of the Spanish variety would deny the existence of American conservatism due to the fact that they are all "heretics" i.e. Protestants, and revolutionaires against Holy Mother Church. No matter how much to the Right you are, there is someone to the Right of you, a fact shown in delightful fashion by Chesterton when the madman calling himself the King of England asks for the support of monarchist character who then calls him an usurper against the rightful Jacobite king. (By the way, that reminds me of an anecdote of the Irish Premier, Eamon de Valera. Earlier in his career they accused him of being a "Wild eyed jacobin" and he answered denying angrily being a jacobite.) Sent at: 2008 12 02
