Topic: Conscience of a Conservative

	American conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conservative," argued in his 1960 Conscience of a Conservative that conservatives split on the issue of civil rights due to some conservatives advocating ends (integration, even in the face of what they saw as unconstitutional Federal involvement) and some advocating means (constitutionality above all else, even in the face of segregation).
		Conservatives, out of their respect for traditional, established institutions, tend to strongly identify with nationalist movements, existing governments, and its defenders: police, the military, and national poets, authors, and artists.
		The archetypal free-market conservative administrations of the late 20th century -- the Margaret Thatcher government in the UK and the Ronald Reagan government in the U.S. -- both held the unfettered operation of the market to be the cornerstone of contemporary modern conservatism (this philosophy is sometimes called neoliberalism).

		The Conservative is the first to understand that the practice of freedom requires the establishment of order: it is impossible for one man to be free if another is able to deny him the exercise of his freedom.
		Conservatives are often charged, and in a sense rightly so, with having an overly mechanistic view of the Constitution: "It is America’s enabling document; we are American citizens; therefore," the Conservatives’ theme runs, "we are morally and legally obliged to comply with the document." All true.

	Barry Goldwater and The Conservative 1960s
		T the beginning of the 1960s conservatives were in a better position than at any time since the 1930s to challenge moderate Republicans for control of the party.

	Foreign Affairs - The Conscience of a Conservative: The Dangers of Dogmatism in U.S. Foreign Policy - Michael Mandelbaum
		The presiding theme of the chapters of this book is the conservative's awareness of the fallibility of human design and the recurrence, in human affairs, of unintended and unwanted consequences.
		The book has both a message and a mood -- both words and music -- and the music is the stately, subdued sound of the viola and the cello, not the triumphant blare of the brass or the soaring creations of the clarinet or the saxophone.
		He is particularly unhappy with what he considers the International Monetary Fund's overzealous demands for policies of economic austerity in response to the Asian crises; the implementation of these policies in the afflicted countries endangered the political consensus in favor of liberal economic practices upon which free markets must rest.

		THE CONSCIENCE OF A CONSERVATIVE was written to answer the question of why a conservative nation, such as the United States, was governed by liberal policy-makers.
		Goldwater believed it was because conservative principles-though predominant among the people-were lacking in eloquent defenders willing to demonstrate their applicability to contemporary problems.
		Conservative wisdom, as Goldwater points out, comes from the laws of God and the laws of nature, laws that "have no dateline," and that provide ready guidelines to issues revolving around power, federalism, civil rights, the welfare state, education, and communism.

	Craig Schiller: The Guilty Conscience of a Conservative
		The first chapter deals with severe modifications that took place in conservative thought from the Fifties to his present (1978); the second, an original classification of conservative thought (this chapter alone is worth a book-hunting sojourn) as it relates to the death wish Schiller finds endemic in Right-wing disputation.
		Schiller differentiates the conservative empiricist from his counterpart, the metaphysicist, by subtly messaging their respective notions of truth: for the Wilhelmsens, the rejection of Leftist relativism demands transcendental truth, for the Zolls, transrational.
		The crux, Schiller's mission, is to determine a "workable conservative theory of change." This is accomplished by deep study of philosophical influences on historical occurrences which in turn yields a national attitude.

		Of course, 1964 was the year the conservative movement's favored candidate, Barry Goldwater, won the GOP nomination and then got trounced by LBJ.
		Some progressives make the case for optimism by citing how the conservative movement regrouped and then formed the foundation for future victories beginning with Reagan's election in 1980 and culminating in their indisputable mastery of all three branches of the federal government in 2004.
		In 1964 the conservative movement made a conscious, organized, and militant effort to draft Barry Goldwater much to the irritation of GOP moderates and liberals who were supporting Rockefeller.

	Reagan Named 'Conservative of the Century' -- 05/27/1999
		Washington (CNS) – A medley of conservative icons addressed a crowd of about 500 at the American Conservative Union's Conservative Century Dinner, Wednesday night, but none – not Phyllis Schlafly, not Sen. John McCain, not even a Latin-speaking William F. Buckley – could upstage the Gipper, who was named Conservative of the Century.
		Receiving the Conservative of the Century award for Ronald Reagan, at Nancy Reagan's request, was McCain, the only one of the eleven GOP presidential hopefuls at the dinner.
		Also lauded, as a pioneer in the 20th century conservative movement was Buckley, whom Rusher said raised the political debating bar with his magazine the National Review, founded by Buckley in 1955.

	The Claremont Institute: The Goldwater Myth
		The Conscience of a Conservative devoted an entire chapter to education, anticipating its importance in the eyes of social conservatives.
		To begin with, several of the hot-button issues that later mobilized social conservatives en masse were non-issues in 1964, or had barely begun to stir.
		Conservatives today need to revive Goldwater's argument in the '60s, and Reagan's in the '80s, that liberty is not only compatible with morality, it depends on it.

		It is against this backdrop that we must consider Barry Goldwater's seminal treatise The Conscience of a Conservative.
		Pessimism is a sort of occupational hazard for conservatives.

	Barry Goldwater, <I>The Conscience Of A Conservative.</I>
		Though we Conservatives are deeply persuaded that our society is ailing, and know that Conservatism holds the key to national salvation--and feel sure the country agrees with us--we seem unable to demonstrate the practical relevance of Conservative principles to the needs of the day.
		The principles on which the Conservative political position is based have been established by a process that has nothing to do with the social, economic and political landscape that changes from decade to decade and from century to century.
		The Conservative approach is noth ing more or less than an attempt to apply the wisdom and experience and the revealed truths of the past to the problems of today.

		The Conscience of a Conservative - The Conservative Sixties
		While it may be true that Goldwater bridged a certain gap that existed in the conservative movement of the mid-1960`s, he ended his life supporting homosexuality, opposing right to life of the unborn child and defending Bill Clinton.
		After wife #1's death, his second wife was clearly manipulating and directing him to defeat many Conservative efforts (one of the seminal moments was the infamous 6th House race, cited in the article, the English-Wead race).

	Democracy Project: Democracy Project
		There aren’t many of us who remember Barry Goldwater’s challenge to the excessively liberal common wisdom of the 1960’s, his conscience of a conservative trumpeting the creed that put the individual first and launched the modern conservative movement said to dominate the Republican Party, which in turn is said to dominate American politics.
		Whether conservative or liberal, when daily life becomes about wielding huge, centralized power, the individual often becomes a blur or abstraction instead of a tangible reality.
		Out of their loss of power, like conservatives in the 1950’s, liberals are at last realizing they need new thinking.

		He was the first Democratic sponsor of both Bush tax cuts; he has stood with the president on all his controversial judicial nominees; and he has unflinchingly supported the Iraq war.
		His harshest criticism is of the current field of Democratic presidential candidates, whom he compares to "streetwalkers in skimpy halters and hot pants plying their age-old trade for the fat wallets on 'K' Street." He doesn't like any of them but detests Howard Dean the most.
		Miller reached out to the new president--"I'm with you on a lot of things," he told President-elect Bush--he was mystified by Democratic opposition to Bush nominees John Ashcroft for attorney general and Ted Olson for solicitor general.

	FLASHBACK / Un-Conscience of a Conservative / David Brock: The Berkeley years
		To recap, Brock was the right-wing pseudo-journalist whose "Troopergate" article in the American Spectator prompted the Paula Jones lawsuit that in turn gave the nation the Monica Lewinsky story.
		His intellectual dishonesty in reinterpreting how he was treated as a young conservative there has been the linchpin of the sweeping intellectual dishonesty that, in the end, is his defining characteristic.
		Brock consciously rejected not just the left, but also a middle ground of political tolerance for all political viewpoints when he left Berkeley, and set about justifying his moral failures by wildly exaggerating his experience there.
