Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Video and Audio – Russell Kirk asked, “Can there be any robust conservatism in American life WITHOUT a religious devotion?” The answer is a resounding “No”. He also wrote that a society that denies religion also lacks faith, charity, and compassion and “When a nation ignores the divine authority, it soon commits the excesses of fanatic nationalism, intoxicated with its own unchecked power, which have made the twentieth century terrible.” He wrote this back in 1957, how do you think he would feel now? With everyone clamouring for one-size-fits-all solutions for everything from gun laws to abortions and America having troops in practically every country on the planet?
