Free speech conserves freedom from tyranny.

Christianity, family unit, marriage, money, borders, language, traditional culture, 2nd amendment.

Using one's own personal restraint is always a good thing. However, when restraint is enforced by the government via the point of a gun (regardless of whether it is the left or the right doing it), then you're no better than any totalitarian regime.

But how can you trust anyone, whether on the Left or the Right, with the power to restrict people's liberties beyond defending them against violence?

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Liberty _necessitates_ duty...

Liberty absent duty, isn’t *maintained.*

Wow! This is spot on. Freedom with constraints. There was a time when this thinking would help a man or woman to have a very happy productive life.

I don't think it's about limiting freedom in order to preserve a nation. I think with freedom and personal liberties we can make the choice to preserve our nation long term. Just because we have the ability to do something, that doesn't mean we should do it. It's not about limiting, it's about making the right choices personally.

Our goverment only has the power we give it.Our rights come from God and the sacrifices made by patriots.

I would rather have too much personal liberty than not enough. Minority groups and those who were considered "the other" during the 50's, 60's, and 70's; whose freedoms were abridged in the name of maintaining the social order of the day would say the same.

Specially privileged groups are the product of partiality.

Partiality destroys. Impartiality conserves. Equity is partiality. "Equity is the foe of justice."

Conservatives like me believe, don’t change what’s not broke like: marriage, traditional family structure, and European Christian beliefs. There are more but these are the basics.

Japanese and S. Koreans are great, freedom loving Asian cultures but you would no longer have Japan if 10% of their population were S Korean.

America at one time worked because European immigrants, while highly individualistic, also learned how to cooperate when for example they drove out islam from their borders. They accomplished this because of their shared love of Christendom.

Immigration to any country has not been needed since the 1930’s. There are no new frontiers to be blazoned that requires heavy manual labor. Each country can increase their population as God meant: Have more families and children.

The West lost sight of what made it great: traditional families, community and the social cohesion it brings. We became greedy and brought in cheap, non-European labor and expected to keep our culture.

You can’t keep bringing in people who care nothing for our heritage, moral views and customs without a breakdown in trust and social cohesion. Human nature’s strong pull of in group preference can’t be reasoned with. In groups over 100 or so, everyone will side with people who look like them; EVERY SINGLE TIME.

How does British Conservatism differ from Classical Liberalism?

kayedal-haddad

American conservatism is actually anarchism. In Europe conservatism focuses on conserving a way of life, culture, welfare, law and order and son on through restrictive legislation and a strong state. In America you confuse this with individual freedom only constraint by extremely conservative, and some times confused, Christian beliefs.

So, in short: classical liberals focus more on having freedom, and conservatives focus more on keeping freedom.

yoram hazony a Hungarian Jew this guy is missing so much facts. first of all, I'm noticing this elaborate political definitions, Liberal, democrat, republican, social democrat, if you would ask any politician about each definition separately they will all have different explanation we call it a word salad. America was always based on traditions, white people of a good moral character, , one crucial fact about WHITE AMERICANS is we are a NATION OF LAWS, we do have laws and these laws outline the freedom, and it was functioning as long white people were 85 to 90% the majority of this nation. I'm sure Izrael is not opening the doors to the sub saharans or any Muslims hence homogeneity is preserving all the traditions all enclosed wrapped up in LAWS that keeps any civilized nation in harmony with it self.
