“Conservatives have no intention of compromising with socialists, but even such an alliance, ridiculous though it would be, is more conceivable than the coalition of conservatives and libertarians.”Russell Kirk Libertarians: Chirping Sectaries (1981)
“When heaven and earth have passed away, perhaps the conservative mind and the libertarian mind may be joined in synthesis, but not until then.”Russell Kirk Libertarians: Chirping Sectaries (1981)
“What else do conservatives and libertarians profess in common? The answer to that question is simple: nothing. Nor will they ever. To talk of forming a league or coalition between these two is like advocating a union of ice and fire.”Russell Kirk Libertarians: Chirping Sectaries (1981)
