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

Prager, Milwaukee, and Me

prager in milwaukeeI should've posted something on this last Friday, but I didnt.  So you're getting it today.

My boy Prager was in Milwaukee last Thursday night and spoke on "The Moral Case for Conservatism" to a lively crowd on University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's campus.  The lecture was fascinating, the Q & A engaging, and Dennis was gracious as always when I went up after the talk and got to chat with the Big Guy himself.  As you might remember, I was privileged to travel to Los Angeles last May and spend a day in-studio with Dennis and his producer Allen Estrin while Prager conducted his daily radio talk show out of the KRLA studios in Glendale, CA.

If you ever get the chance to see Dennis speak live, take it.

Even just as important to this story is where me and my kimbohomeboys ate dinner at in Milwaukee.  A few nights before heading up to Wisconsin I was watching The Food Network and saw a clip of my favorite show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, with my other boy Guy Fieri who was in Milwaukee at a place called The Comet Cafe.

Check out their menu and, FYI, I had the meatloaf sandwich.

But the big event of the night was the Kimbo Burger (not listed on the menu) that one of my buddies ordered.  The sandwich cost more than $15 and instead of traditional buns used two giant grilled cheese sandwiches to encapsulate the smorgasbord of unhealthy goodies within.

  1. I would give my right arm for that burger right now. That looks amazing!

    Keep us posted about the next time Dennis is in Chicago, RJ. I’d love to meet him.

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.
