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

Joe Lieberman Makes Me Happy

On abortion, 2nd Amendmant rights, gay marriage, and a litany of other issues Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and I have no common ground.  But the man who was the Democrat's nominee for Vice President in 2000 has now been shunned by his former party for supporting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, endorsing John McCain over Barack Obama in last year's election, and now defying Harry Reid on the Public Option.  For those three reasons, for holding his ground on issues he believes in (regardless of political consequences), Senator Lieberman has my respect and admiration.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Conservatives need to applaud heroism wherever they see it, and call out cowardice whenever they hear it.  Regardless of party.

Oh, and for those of you who still do not believe that the "public option" is absolutely the Left's attempt to take over all of health care, PLEASE watch this:

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.
