A fair criticism

I've recently discovered the blog Southern Appeal, and I'm liking what I see. Today they presented a post discussing the discrepancy between classic conservatism (the only way to go in my book) and the mess it has turned into these days. You can find a brief analysis, and a link to a larger editorial, here.

True conservatism, at its heart, has its premise grounded on learning the lessons of the past, and not deviating from the status quo without careful consideration of the consequences. That doesn't seem to be what's been happening lately. Draw your own conclusions.
