...Encouraged by his family to study the violin, Youngman began in
show business as a musician. He led a small jazz band
called the "Swanee Syncopaters", and during their
performances he often told jokes. One night, the club's regular
comedian didn't show up and the owner asked Youngman to fill in. He
enjoyed it and began his long career as a stand-up comic...
...Like
many comedians, Henny Youngman treated his profession as a working
job, one where it is difficult to make a living, and getting paid for
the work is all-important. In numerous interviews, Youngman's advice
to other entertainers was to "nem di gelt" (Yiddish for
"take the money"). He was quoted in an interview with
the Web-based magazine Eye: "I get on the plane. I go
and do the job, grab the money and I come home and I keep it clean.
Those are my rules. Sinatra does the same thing, only he
has a helicopter waiting. That's the difference."...
...When
the New York Telephone Company started its Dial-a-Joke line
in 1974, over three million people called in one month to hear
30 seconds of Youngman's material – the most ever for a
comedian.

Liberal Conservatism is a variant of
conservatism that combines conservative values and policies with
classical liberal stances. As these latter two terms have
had different meanings over time and across countries, liberal
conservatism also has a wide variety of meanings. Historically, the
term often referred to the combination of economic liberalism,
which champions laissez-faire markets, with the classical
conservatism concern for established tradition, respect for
authority and religious values. It contrasted itself with classical
liberalism, which supported freedom for the individual in
both the economic and social spheres...
...A secondary meaning for the
term liberal conservatism that has developed in Europe is
a combination of more modern conservative (less traditionalist) views
with those of social liberalism. This has developed as an
opposition to the more collectivist views of socialism.
Often this involves stressing what are now conservative views of
free-market economics and belief in individual responsibility, with
social liberal views on defence of civil
rights, environmentalism and support for a limited welfare
state. In continental Europe, this is sometimes also translated
into English as social conservatism.
Wikipedia: Conservative Liberalism is a variant of liberalism that
combines liberal values and policies with conservative stances, or,
more simply, the right wing of the liberal movement. The roots of
conservative liberalism are found at the beginning of the history
of liberalism. Until the two World Wars, in most European
countries the political class was formed by conservative liberals,
from Germany to Italy. Events after World War
I brought the more radical version of classical liberalism to a
more conservative (i.e. more moderate) type of liberalism.

National conservatism is a political term used primarily in
Europe to describe a variant of conservatism which concentrates more
on national interests than standard conservatism as well as upholding
cultural and ethnic identity, while not being outspokenly
nationalist or supporting a far-right approach. In
Europe, national conservatives are usually eurosceptics.
National conservatism is heavily
oriented towards the traditional family and social
stability as well as in favour of limiting immigration...
