A Spine Made of Principles; Russell Kirk's 10 Conservative Principles

On Firing Lane, Croaky & Tahgi dive into why real conservatism isn't just opposing the left — it’s built on enduring truths.

We unpack Russell Kirk’s 10 Conservative Principles, mock bumper-sticker politics, and ask: 🔹 Can atheists be conservative? 🔹 Why do modern movements fear tradition? 🔹 Is morality optional, or foundational?

Populists shout. Technocrats spreadsheet. We build — on custom, continuity, and conviction.

🛡️ Conservatism isn’t cosplay. It’s a commitment.
