M. Stanton Evans (d. 2015) was one of the unsung heroes and key
figures of the modern conservative movement, offering a model to be
remembered and emulated in both thought and deed. A person of
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 Young Americans for
Freedom. Evans was also a mentor to an entire generation of
conservative writers and journalists, including Ann Coulter, John
Fund, Martin Morse Wooster, Tim Carney, Richard Miniter, William
McGurn, and this author. Evans was libertarian in economics and
policy, traditionalist in moral and social matters, respectful of
religion, and resolutely anti-Communist. Over the years he wrote a
number of elegant articles and one book (The Theme is Freedom) that
reconciled many of the strains that often appear between these
differing schools of conservative thought. He also wrote a
controversial defense of Joseph McCarthy (Blacklisted by History),
which is one of many examples of his fearlessness in contesting the
conventional wisdom. Beyond his professional profile, Stan was also
known for his ironic dry wit, which only came out in person, as
well as his personal modesty and kindliness, and fondness for
fast-food, sports, and classic rock and roll music trivia. He was
"the conservative for the common man."
