    Chesterton was NOT a conservative. He was a radical, and really closer to socialist, or certainly of the English liberal crowd, in most political matters. He certainly was Catholic, but progressive in social justice issues. In terms of doctrine he was orthodox, but so deeply thoughtful and nuanced that he clearly defies the label of conservative, though American conservatives pitiably try to claim him as their own. Erroneously. Very much so. They are knee deep in that River in Egypt.
