Here is a good list of the 10 Conservative Principles.   It is from the Russell Kirk Center

Why Multiculturalism is destroying our country

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

This is a lesson on why Muslticulturalism does not work and should be banned.  We are a Melting Pot, not a nation of little communities.  Before Multiculturalism, Thanksgiving was not a problem and no one complained about the respect that the Native Americans and Pilgrims had and celebrated the prosperity of the Pilgrims after they [...]

Where Does the Right Go From Here?

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

That is what the Heritage Foundation Young President’s Club asked Robert Bluey and Mary Katherine Ham to discuss.   This is  a long video, almost an hour long, so give yourself some time to watch it.   I think that they came up with some very good solutions to how to get the conservative message to the [...]

Moving The Center, Not Moving Toward The Center

Friday, November 14th, 2008

John Hawkins examines a National Review piece by James Gimpel. Here is a bit of the flavor of Gimpel’s work:
A campaign doesn’t move toward them [centrist or moderate voters], but instead attempts to inspire them to come in the candidate’s direction. The incoherent center moves to the left or to the right, inspired by the [...]

The More Things Change

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

A look back at the election:
All of the landslide majority did not vote against the conservative philosophy; they voted against a false image our Liberal opponents successfully mounted. Indeed it was a double false image. Not only did they portray us as advancing a kind of radical departure from the status quo, but they took [...]

The Fred to run for RNC Chair

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

I would love for Fred Thompson to be the RNC Chairman. I was saddened when he dropped out of the Race for the Presidential Candidate for the GOP. But I think that he got in too late and from what I hear, his mom was very ill through most of his run. But with him [...]

What are conservative values?

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

I’ve started a discussion thread in the forum on this topic.
Just a simple question to open the discussion: What are the core conservative values?
Remember, we are talking about values here, not policies. For example - Fiscal Responsibility is a value, curbing earmarks is a policy. Let’s limit the discussion to the values.
Have at it.

What next????

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

I wanted to let the elections sink in before I said anything about, or do a long post about it.   I want to congratulate Obama for a splendid campaign.   He had the organization and the rhetoric that people heard and wanted to follow.   He stated focused and did not make many mistakes.   So I want [...]

Principles, Policies, People

Friday, November 7th, 2008

In order to reclaim conservatism it is important, I believe, that a certain hierarchy is observed: Principles, Policies, and then People.
One of the reasons that the Republican party (I hate the concept of “brand”) has fallen into such disarray is due to the mis-ordering of those three “Ps”. For this discussion let’s look at these [...]
