The Core of Conservatism: The Role of Limited Government

I just came across this stunning article on the ww.acton.org site.

The author, John H. Armstrong, explains the differences between the nowadays liberalism and classic liberalism. And the bonds that links judeo-christian values and "some elements of Enlightment philosophy". All this influences were put together in what we call "conservatism".

This is why, in the present sense of the terms that we use today, I am a conservative.
