William F. Buckley famously wrote in National Review's founding manifesto that "a conservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling Stop." I've never been overly fond of this quote, despite it being one of the most famous quips in modern political history. It concedes too much to the progressive worldview that history has a direction, and that everything can fit into a narrative of "Progress" and "Regress." But I've reconsidered since the Brexit result shook the political and economic worlds late last week.
