It is self-evident that no number of men, by conspiring, and calling themselves a government, can acquire any rights whatever over other men, or other men’s property, which they had not before, as individuals.

Yes, though I carry no card and am not registered as a member of that party – I don’t think there is even one – I am, in the ways that most matter, a National Conservative. My quite serious question to everyone in every nation is why aren’t you one too?
National Conservatism Is…
National Conservatism is a culturally focus variant of conservatism that prioritizes upholding one’s national and cultural identity. National conservatives usually combine nationalism with conservative stances promoting traditional cultural values, opposition to immigration, and family values.
