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

25Jul/12Off

Troy Senik

This week's episode of The RJ Moeller Show kicks off with our friend Caroline May of The Daily Caller and her regular "News You May Have Missed, But Probably Shouldn't" segment.  Ms. May has in recent weeks been the reporter responsible for bringing to light the USDA's disturbing campaign and marketing effort to increase the number of people receiving food stamps.   We discuss the details and implications of this story. You can follow Caroline on Twitter at @c_maydc!

Next up is former George W. Bush speech writer, Troy Senik.

troysenikLast time Troy joined us back in January, we heard about the path that led him to a job in the White House in his mid-20's, and what that experience was like. This time he joins us to cover some very interesting topics that he's been writing about at City Journal and Ricochet.com (where he's now the Senior Editor).  Troy shares his thoughts on the horrific shooting in Aurora, CO, the negative impact that student loan debt can have on one's romantic relationships, and the strange way that many on the Left approach the discussion of unemployment.

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.
