I'm curious: would you say that Western Civilization has reached its peak, or is it something that is still growing and developing? Is the natural exchange of conflicting ideas an attack on fundamental values, or is it part of the process by which a living civilization grows and adapts? Do you find it interesting that your brand of conservatism inspires so little interest in Western Europe, the cradle of Western Civilization? He understands that an attack on a person's cherished beliefs and customs is an attack on that person Is this a one-way sort of thing? I've noticed little hesitation among conservatives when it comes to attacking cherished beliefs that they happen to dislike, but of course those conservatives may have definitions that differs from yours. He is leery of an activist government, and sets a high bar before supporting anything resembling social engineering. Do you think this excludes the religious right and other "social conservatives" from your definition of conservatism? I can think of few groups anywhere with a greater and more consistent devotion to social engineering through government intervention. I could think of a few other comments, but that will do for now....
