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

Max Baucus Ought To Make You Mad

Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana), in a moment of clarity last week, explained what Obamacare and the health care "reform" congress has ill-advisedly passed is really all about.

Thanks for at least being honest with us, Max. Too bad it was after the fact.  I think it is safe to say that a litmus test for whether you are a conservative or not is if this video makes your skin crawl.  If what Senator Baucus says in this clip is in no conflict with your general worldview about the size and role of government, then you are a liberal.  It's really as simple as that.

  1. Skin crawling here! Great post.

  2. Is it just me or did it sound like Baucus was hitting the sauce again? Perhaps that would explain the inhibition-free discussion of his socialist agenda.

  3. THANK YOU for posting this! I really like your blog!!

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.
