An Interesting Formulation ...

... of equally interesting attribution (hat tip to John Hudak on Facebook for calling it to my attention):

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

I'd personally replace "conservatism" with "all forms of statism" in said formulation, though.
