You are correct in your views of nationalism & tribal instincts. You could not be more wrong about that being in conflict with conservatism.

Conservatism is now, and always has been about preserving traditional values; about a multi-generational continuum of a people. It varies from community to community, of course; because the cultural heritages differ. The one consistent aspect is that"globalism"--humanist pretensions and arrogance--are never consistent with conservatism. Had Nimrod's ridiculous tower at Babel actually reached heaven, it might be different.

In American terms, the fundament of our common Conservatism--that is the aspect that is general, not local--I would suggest, is captured in the Preamble to the Constitution. What really distinguished us from most foreign ideologies, is that ours was based on actual experience, not theory: America: Based On Experience & Reason

“The one consistent aspect is that”globalism”—humanist pretensions and arrogance—are never consistent with conservatism. “

How do you reconcile that statement with the Conservative Orthodoxy of today...led by the likes of Ted Cruz and Mark Levin?

Are you suggesting they are not “conservative”?

I believe they are not. One cannot be a conservative and also advocate for policies that destroy a nation.

Of course, millions disagree with me.
