I have not idea how what you've just said correlates with the current debate. Please inform me where I am thinking incorrectly.
Oh please! This is Lawler trying to claim he knows what it is and set himself up as a future arbiter. Means no more than Harry Reid claiming to be an expert in setting up exercise equipment.

Postmodern Conservatism.
Dirt: I find this very telling because if you only hate to look at the history books to see who's living in the past, and is trying to bring it back. Look who's still trying to segregate by race, gender, nationality and every label known to humans. That's not Republicans and Conservatives. That Liberals and Democrats. I always found it interesting when I was younger I used to see shows that imagined if women or blacks were in charge instead of mostly white men, and interestingly I saw that instead of things being "better" it was the same, except now it was women or Blacks that were in charge and doing the discrimination. You'd think people would remember that experiment that some schools did years ago on reverse racism where they had to stop the experiment because some of the kids were taking things too far. And that's what we have going on today on college campuses.
Conservatism is looking back to the past. Sometimes, it is relevant and sometimes, it has become irrelevant. The hard part is knowing the difference.
Not really.
American conservatism is uniquely American.
Oh, I forgot that I do have a political party: I'm Kuomintang because everybody on my mom's side of the family is KMT and she raised me to be one. Ironically that makes me a Conservative on Taiwan, not a liberal.
Interesting how these things work, huh?
That doesn't always mean anything.
Look at Ronald Reagan's kids.
My family (both sides) fought against the CPC.
Maybe you should take that as a hint.
My wife just asked me if I was a Communist. This coming from someone who escaped the Khmer Rouge.
I officially have no Party affiliation. I believe and vote by my own compass.
