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

Tucker Carlson: Part 1

The first part of this week's show (which can now be found on American Enterprise Institute's "Values & Capitalism" homepage) includes an exciting interview with conservative journalist/pundit/commentator Tucker Carlson.

tucker-carlsonThe guy has done and seen it all in his career, including stints at CNN, MSNBC, and The Weekly Standard.  Currently Mr. Carlson is the editor-in-chief of the online news-journal The Daily Caller and a frequent Fox News Channel contributor.  We started our conversation by discussing a recent (and controversial) appearance Tucker made on Greta Van Susteren's On The Record show last week where the two heavy-weights sparred over a story The Daily Caller ran on derogatory remarks made by Mike Tyson which were directed at Sarah Palin.  If you're interested, here's footage of the Tucker-Greta exchange.

Closing out Part 1 of The RJ Moeller Show is a lively exchange between R.J., Matt, and Eric Teetsel on the most recent column from New York Times' columnist Frank Rich ("In Praise of Extremism").

Part 2 is coming tomorrow!

Remember that you can download each episode on iTunes, and you can follow R.J. on Twitter and Facebook as well!

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.
