(In the United States) I have never heard this as a conservative viewpoint. While I'm not a conservative, this is a quite common old-school-Conservative view. Most of these got pushed out of the mainstream of the Republican party, in favor of neo-conservatives and such, so there's no major outlet with a mostly-Conservative viewpoint in the US today. Probably two good current examples are Jerry Pournelle and John Derbyshire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Derbyshire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Derbyshire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle
