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

Arthur Brooks, Stossel, And The Moral Case For Free Enterprise

Dr. Arthur Brooks is a name and a man you ought to know.  He is the president of the American Enterprise Institute in Washington D.C., and one of the most articulate defenders of free market economics on the planet.  Dr. Brooks has written several important books in the past 5 years, and I simply could not recommend them more highly to you.

Appearing last night on John Stossel's Fox Business Network show, Stossel, Dr. Brooks explained to the host why allowing the federal government to re-distribute more and more of the nation's wealth is immoral and a recipe for disaster.


We're lucky to have men like Dr. Brooks out there. But, we could use 100 more like him. This post over at The Washington Examiner asks the question: Who will groom the next Arthur Brooks?

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.
