i think the first edito above is not far from the mark. fact is that george w bush was an ideological conservative--"realist"/neo-con on foreign policy, reactionary on social policy, and he at least talked the talk of fiscal conservatism. he was a monetarist, his policies did, in fact, wage class war conservative style. etc...none of that has anything to do with burke, but that's not surprising. populist conservatism/the poujadist-neoliberal coalition--this is an explicitly ideological movement.
