// Reclaim Conservatism

We are not the only site or group intent on rebuilding and reintroducing conservative values into government. Patrick Ruffini and a large group of other conservatives have launched Rebuild the Party. From their site:
Either we can spend the next several months — or years — trying to figure out what just happened, excusing our defeat [...]

Reclaiming conservatism is going to take the involvement of everyone who believes in conservative principles. ReclaimConservatism.com is going to take group involvement as well. Here’s how you can help:

Add Reclaim Conservatism to your blogroll.
Don’t forget to add the Reclaim Conservatism rss feed to your feed reader.

I secured the domain and started this site in May of this year inspired by a post by Doug Ross. Examining the results of last night’s election leads me to believe that the idea behind Reclaim Conservatism is going to be needed more than ever.

I have been very encouraged and excited about the reaction to Reclaim Conservatism. In the short time the site has been active we’ve had great posts and comments, [...]

After a nearly 13 hour server outage we’re back! The problem was caused by a problem with a server with new sites, which this is definitely one. Please spread the word that we are open for business once again.

We are off to a good start since opening up shop here a week ago. Over 1000 visits, and some really good posts.
I would like to thank all of those who have stopped by, commented, linked and promoted what we are trying to accomplish here. I know some of you might like some sort of [...]

The Mainstream Media is trumpeting a massive defeat for the Republican Party. Of course, this is in part an attempt by the MSM to influence that outcome by setting up expectations.
