Overview
M. Stanton Evans (d. 2015) was one of the unsung heroes and key figures of the modern conservativeĀ movement, offering a model to be remembered and emulated in both thought and deed. A person ofĀ extraordinary breadth, he combined the roles of journalist, first-rank thinker, and political action, often at the center of crucial events for the conservative movement from the mid-1950s to his last decade in the 2010s. He was the principal author of the Sharon Statement, the founding document of YoungĀ Americans for Freedom. Evans was also a mentor to an entire generation of conservative writers andĀ journalists, including Ann Coulter, John Fund, Martin Morse Wooster, Tim Carney, RichardĀ Miniter, WilliamĀ McGurn, and this author.Ā
Evans was libertarian in economics and policy, traditionalist in moral and social matters, respectful ofĀ religion, and resolutely anti-Communist. Over the years he wroteĀ a number ofĀ elegant articles and oneĀ book (The Theme is Freedom) that reconciled many of the strains that often appear between theseĀ differing schools of conservative thought. He also wrote a controversial defense of Joseph McCarthyĀ (Blacklisted by History), which is one of many examples of his fearlessness in contesting theĀ conventional wisdom.Ā
Beyond his professional profile, Stan was also known for his ironic dry wit, which only came out inĀ person, as well as his personal modesty and kindliness, and fondness for fast-food, sports, and classicĀ rock and roll music trivia. He was āthe conservative for the common man.āĀ
