After reading the article, I can assert two things.
  1. It seems as if US never accepted conservatism ideology.
  2. It's also clearly visible that US never needed it.
I think conservatism is kind of unusual in America, because our tradition is revolutionary liberalism.
I agree that there's never been a coherent American conservatism that was widely adopted, but it's possible that we do need such a thing.

And why do you think so? Aren't you in good terms with American liberalism? I like liberalism and has been preaching it as an example for operating a better democracy.
reply
I do like liberalism (not democracy so much). In the American context, liberalism is part of conservatism, because the country was founded on liberal ideals.

Ahh! I missed it that US liberalism is a part of conservatism.
reply
Yeah, it's an unusual situation.
