Well I was rather late in responding, I've been busy trying to pull bills through in my home region.
When I say Edmund Burke kind of way I was referring to his well known statement against the French Revolution concerning the Jacobins and other radicals destroying France, not so much in a general sense (should have specified that). By extension I hate the whole of the French Revolution (as did John Adams and many American leaders who believed in a sort of aristocracy of virtue), however this does not extend to the American Revolution. The difference is that the American one (other than the king of England, who, as Churchill once said, was German) was not rebelling against aristocracy which had all but disappeared in the colonies except in the ways that the culture of the Constitution preserved it (just look at pictures of George Washington and he looks like a King, John Adams as before). Perhaps the best example of this is that a monarchy was never out of the question, it famously even being offered to George Washington.
So in short Jacobins= losers/culture killers (I call my phone a Jacobin out of pure hatred and thanks to Russell Kirk's notion of calling cars 'mechanical Jacobins' since they are destroyers of society) and American revolutionaries = same culture as before.
Consequently, I can not be called a High Tory in a pure sense. On one level, like John Adams I believe in aristocracy, but one of virtue just as much as birth. Also, as mentioned, William Cobbett is of large importance as an example (a more Chesertonian one as well, Chesterton felt Cobbett was an excellent representation of England itself) who fought with the established hierarchy purely because it had abandoned true-England of the countryside rather than the factory. Despite being ultimately more 'Kirkian' (which is ultimately based, in my opinion, on the traditions and establishment of American society and is thus effectively the equivalent, albeit different, of English High Toryism) what remains however the same (from the same wikipedia article) is:
-"A High Tory also favours a strong community, in contrast to Whig, liberal and neoconservative individualism."
-"High Tories prefer the values of the historical landed gentry and aristocracy, with their noblesse oblige and their self-imposed sense of duty and responsibility, to those of the modern commercial business class. Their focus is on maintaining a traditional, rooted society and way of life, which is often as much threatened by modern capitalism as by state socialism."
-Thus: "A "High Tory" bears some resemblance to traditionalist conservatives in the United States."
Since that likely didn't run smoothly: Basically, there are many differences between England's traditionalist conservatives and America's, however, rather than being separate movements I find that each is based on his own nation's traditions and society and thus are the same thing in different manifestations with goal based on nearly the same premises. I too, for instance, along with Russell Kirk hate neo-conservative viewpoints and economics (especially free trade). This is naturally ironic, Kirk being one of the founders of the American conservative movement was often invited to neoconservative conferences where he insulted the very people who claimed him as their forefather, though in a nice way.
Oh, you're funny!
