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

Clinton lies, Obama side-steps

Charles Krauthammer is the definitive conservative columnist today, and in his poignant piece this week, Chuck discusses the problems Hillary is having with the truth, and the ones Obama is having with his preacher (as well as his convoluted past).
Enjoy this tasty tidbit from the column: In his swoon-inducing Philadelphia speech, Obama had instructed the nation from on high that America was greatly in need of a national conversation on race -- a need curiously absent before his pastor's words sent his campaign into a tailspin -- and that he, Barack Obama, was ready to lead it. Everything was now on the table, except his association with Wright. Because to "play Rev. Wright's sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election" would simply be a "distraction" from the suffering of the American people which, of course, is the work of the usual suspects: corporate outsourcing and "the special interests in Washington."

  1. I love Charles! I thoroughly enjoy when he is on the discussion panel with Brit Hume on Fox.

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.
