@ConservaMuse Indeed, first, young people should start reading books!

[Ferenc Hörcher @HorcherF]

Are you aware of the role played by Henry Regnery, in building up the conservative intellectual (and common sense) movement in America? Himself a well educated man, with degrees from MIT and Harvard, he established his publishing house, printing Buckley's and Kirk's famous books.

[Ferenc Hörcher @HorcherF]

I included Will Durant and his wife in a recent poem of mine, as a rare example of a peaceful and long marriage of co-authors.

[Ferenc Hörcher @HorcherF]

This one looks rather interesting. Political unity, both in Plato and Aristotle.

Published Kendall too, including given him a contract shortly before his death for a book on the "Sages of Conservatism," going after among others Buckley, Kirk, and James Burnham. Regnery backed young Bill when Yale desperately tried to cancel him in the wake of GAMAY. Courage.

@howtingmi This is Grok: "Contemporary reviews (e.g., in Reason magazine, 1979) note that Regnery mentions his father’s leading role in funding the AFC and related groups like the Foundation for Foreign Affairs, but express a desire for more detail on these topics."

Who are the Old Whigs, as used by Burke and Hayek?

[Ferenc Hörcher @HorcherF]

Barthes is another trendy author worth consulting for conservatives, too. He has a sense of poetry.

[Ferenc Hörcher @HorcherF]

Hayek: "To confess one's self an Old Whig does not mean, of course, that one wants to go back to where we were at the end of the 17th century." (originally in 1960)
