A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

26Mar/08Off

A necessary reminder of why we are fighting

A member of Congress from Michigan (Rep. Pete Hoekstra) writes in today's Wall Street Journal to remind the West of the continued threats to freedom that radical jihadists pose. Women have no rights under Sharia Law. Free and open elections are suppressed. Finger are cut off for smoking. It's a sad, terrifying existence for many in these Sharia-dominated countries and that is worth remembering the next time we disparage or mock our War on Terror.

What is “Mere Conservatism”?

The basic ideas, ideals, and values that generally define and characterize the central tenets of what today might be termed "modern conservative thought."

We believe that a proper understanding of history, economics, and theology leads to certain conclusions. Many of these are the same conclusions our Founding Fathers arrived at in constructing a "more perfect union."

All ideas and opinions are welcome; not all are correct.
