 | | This was not the case in the 19th century, when the movements inspired by romantic nationalism were necessarily radical opponents of the then existing states, and separatist movements still are. | | | The old established form of English and, after the Act of Union, British conservatism, was the Tory Party. | | | Over the years, conservatism gradually became their main ideological inspiration, and they generally became less Catholic. |

| | In the United States, the Republican Party is generally considered to be the party of conservatism. | | | This has been the case since the 1960s, when the conservative wing of that party consolidated its hold, causing it to shift permanently to the right of the Democratic Party. | | | The Neoconservative movement originates in American liberalism, primarily from the Northeast or the West Coast, but is marked by a significant move to the right from the 1960s onwards. |

| | ACJ Article: Compassionate Conservatism |
| | The success of compassionate conservatism as a rhetorical construction has been shaped by the exigency of the recent American circumstance; President Bush’s public approval, conversely, has risen largely because of his mastery of the principles of this fascinating rhetorical strategy. | | | Following Republican defeats of 1996 and 1998 that highlighted the inability of the party to connect with voters, the rhetoric of compassionate conservatism aimed to broaden popular support and bridge the party divisions that had prevented election success. | | | If it is necessary to turn to government, compassionate conservatives typically look first to municipal, then to county, then to state, and only then to federal offices.” 42 By linking personal, communal, and governmental responsibility, compassionate conservatism has forged a powerful and coherent rhetorical appeal. |

| | In the early 1950s, conservatism was defined by Senator Robert A. Taft. | | | It meant a non-interventionist foreign policy ((which has been mislabeled “isolationism”), a small federal government of limited powers, states’ rights and scrupulous observance of the law (Taft opposed the Nuremburg Trials on the grounds that American law did not accept ex post facto justice). | | | I continue to believe that much of what Senator Taft stood for was correct. |

Chesterton, and the elitist individualist Albert J. Nock, down to the libertarian Murray N. Rothbard and the fractured conservatism of the post-Reagan era. | | | Gregory L. Schneider, an associate professor of history at Emporia State University, has followed up his monograph on the conservative youth organization Young Americans for Freedom with this book of readings, and useful introductions, on American conservatism. | | | Schneider’s remarks, which exemplify balanced narrative, avoid taking sides in disputes, and, like George Nash in his history of the postwar conservative intellectual movement, describe tensions and fissures without reflecting them. |
