Conservatism as a way of life-sort of Richard Poe gives some props to Steve Sailer in his most recent article. Interesting...one half-Jewish Catholic praising another. Further down the page, Poe's article Greece: The Cradle of Conservatism is a good read. He praises the Greek Orthodox Church for maintaining its ancient traditions in the face of the modern age. As something of a philo-Byzantine I agree that the eastern branch of Christianity has preserved the faith in a more undiluted and pre-post-Christian fashion than the many denominations of the western church. And yet-one thing American conservatives often forget is that European reactionaries go even further into the past than the Christian era, back to the days of paganism. While American paganism has New Age feminist connotations, European paganism is often nationalistic and expresses the idea of xenos with more aplomb than universalistic Christianity every could.
