The Roots Of The Conservative Movement

[mrjarrell]

via Facebook comes this new piece by the Southern Avenger at the American Conservative. He takes a look at the origins of conservatism and who gave birth to whom. Conservatism arose from libertarianism, not vice versa. And the modern usurpation of the movement by the neo conservative movement will be its downfall if folks can't get their act together. Definitely worth the watch.

Reminded me of that quote by Mises, when he stormed out of a conference with "libertarian" and conservative economists: "You're all a bunch of socialists!"
