True Conservatism is Not Mere Progressivism In Slow Motion

WORLD Opinions
American conservatism has many roots, but the modern conservative movement traces at last part of its heritage to a 1960 gathering of conservatives and a manifesto of principles they adopted. The Sharon Statement became a hallmark summary of the most fundamental principles of conservatism. One of the most notable passages in the Sharon Statement was its affirmation of “eternal truths” and to their ultimate grounding in God.

As an intellectual project, conservatism insists that ideas matter, and not just in some abstract Platonic way. Conservatives understand that ideas must eventually be distilled and crystalized into workable policies and programs.
