One man's definition of Conservatism damookster Send a noteboard - 13/08/2021 10:12:27 PM

I'm not going to attribute this quote just yet but will leave it anonymous for now.

"When I think of the soul of Anglo-American conservatism, I think of limited government, incremental change, a concern for social cohesion, and a defense of old-school liberalism — a free press, free speech, free association, free markets, freedom of religion.
I think of a government eager to ensure that capitalism can work without excessive government intervention, but also a dedication to enforcing the integrity of the market — busting monopolies, regulating stock markets, prosecuting corruption. I think of a conservatism that enforces borders, but has no issue with vibrant, moderate immigration."


This is very close to my personal viewpoint.

Any thoughts from others?
