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

More opinion on Obama’s Nobel Prize

From The Times:

International reaction ranged from delight to disbelief. The former winners Kofi Annan and Desmond Tutu voiced praise, the latter lauding the Nobel Committee’s “surprising but imaginative choice”.

But Lech Walesa, the dissident turned Polish President, who won the Peace Prize in 1983, spoke for many, declaring: “So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far.”

Mr Obama’s domestic critics leapt on the award as evidence of foreigners fawning over an untested “celebrity” leader. Rush Limbaugh, the US right-wing commentator, said: “This fully exposes the illusion that is Barack Obama."

  1. Andrew Breitbart’s commentary in this video is outstanding. He is a rising star. I appreciate his palpable disdain for the parts of the media that perpetually fail to report stories that put liberals and/or Democrats in a negative light. The thing people don’t get about voices such as Breitbart (and even Glenn Beck) is that they are against ALL corruption, ALL centralized power, ALL unwarranted and undeserved adulation for elected officials.

    Great posting lately, RJ. When will we see another article by your own pen?

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.
