Patriotism is more than conserving
abstract ideas about love of country; patriotism is more deeply about
celebrating the biological and genetic past and future.
Conservatives rarely mention this, which means that conservatives
tend to celebrate ideology almost as much as the "progressives,"
who virtually hate any mention of biological or genetic conservatism.
When the Founders
spoke of preservation they were not thinking of a nation of
distinctly different and competing ethnic groups, as we have today. The Founders seem to have taken it for
granted that America was mainly Anglo-Saxon.
But the Founders were wise enough to
create a constitutional separation of powers and states that can
accommodate an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, perhaps without them
being aware of it. This wisdom regarding human nature can allow the
deepest conservatism, which is conserving our different and competing biological
and genetic heritages in an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, as well
as conserving the abstract ideas about our nation and patriotism---if we see it, and do it.
