Because the political spectrum in this country has moved so far to the left, Norman Thomas would be considered moderate or even slightly conservative today, at least on matters other than economics and foreign policy

I have read that conservative theorist Russell Kirk voted for Norman Thomas because of his opposition to intervention abroad.

In his last years, Russell Kirk also opposed American involvement in the first Gulf War, specifically criticizing neoconservatives for their support of the war. Not unlike Pat Buchanan, Kirk made an exception in his opposition to American interventionism for the Cold War against the Communist powers.
