Histile towards organiztions such as the Legaue of the South and Council of Conservative Citizens, neo-Confederacy can also be said to inform more mainstream organizations such as the Sons of Confederate Veterans and United Daughters of the Confederacy and, arguably, prominent politicians such as Trent Lott and Strom Thurmond.|accessdate = 18 January 2012}}</ref> The most prominent figure is TV commentator and author [[Pat Buchanan]].

Many paleoconservatives identify themselves as "classical conservatives" and trace their philosophy to the [[Old Right]] Republicans of the interwar period, which helped keep the U.S. out of the [[League of Nations]], reduced immigration with the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924, and opposed [[Franklin Roosevelt]]'s [[New Deal]]. They were [[isolationists]] who opposed entry into [[World War II]].

They often look back even further, to [[Edmund Burke]], as well as the American anti-federalist movement that stretched from the days of [[Thomas Jefferson]] to [[John C. Calhoun]].
