Russel Kirk’s Ten Principles with commentary by me… lol.
1. There is a transcendant moral order - We do not all neccesarily believe in God but we believe there is some greater truth and power above man.
2. Principle of tradition, custom, and continuity - Tradition, custom and the continuation of these is neccesary because we only stand on our ancestors shoulders and without their wisdom we’d be back at square one. Traidition is only changed after a long and thoughtful and largely slow process.
3. Principle of perscription - There is no one size fits all solution, instead of applying ideology to a problem one should look at it case by case.
4. Principle of prudence - Act wisely, slowly, and with careful consideration. Rash action by politicians ought to be discourage at all cost.
5. Principle of variety - Conservatives were the original diversity folks, but we were talking real diversity not the quota driven drivlel run by liberals. Indeed, the world is an intricate and diverse fabric of cultures that if one pulls the thread out of one will unravel the others.

They feel affection for the proliferating intricacy of long-established social institutions and modes of life, as distinguished from the narrowing uniformity and deadening egalitarianism of radical systems.

6. Principle of imperfectability of man - Man is impossible of reaching perfection here on earth and thus utopian schemes to achieve such a position through politics, the market, or anythign else is farcical.
7. Freedom and property are intricately linked - Without protection of property, there is no true freedom.
8. Voluntary community as opposed to mandatory communism - People should associate freely and often, because it is these type of institutions that provide meaning to our lives, but should never be forced by the government.
9. Restraint on power and human passions - Ah finally the libertarian / conservative split emerges, as to some extent liberals and conservatives can agree on most of the previous eight points. (Though libertines, who tend to be libertarians also, go off the farm in that they believe utopia can be achieved through basically elimination of government and societal norms.) At the core this is the belief that man is not truly free if he is enslaved to his passions.
10. A society without change can not be preserved - Our ultimate goal is to conserve society and thus to conserve the whole we must adapt the details.
