    I do very much enjoy your blog. Maybe because we are so close to the same frequency. I also have a dog named Rudy . . . 132lbs of black lab. There is another author and would suggest you might find enjoyable, Dinesh D’Souza. He was in the Reagan WH at a very young age. here is a link to his website

    “What’s so Great About America” is a definite read. Good luck with your blog and my God bless you and yours.
    MERRY CHRISTMAS

  3. I will return, and am looking forward to more. It looks nice there, God bless you man, keep it up!

  4. Found your site/blog by accident (courtesy of your post/comment at heritage.org), and really enjoyed what you wrote. Keep up the good work!
    Merry Christmas to you & yours!

  5. I really think you should provide a link to World News Daily on your blogroll. I know that it sometimes comes across as pretty commercial, but it also is a source for news and commentary that is difficult to find on the internet.

    Also, Cal Thomas, John Stossel and Pat Buchanan are pretty salty conservatives. Today is the first time I have visited your site. I like it. Your thinking is pretty sound and your writing is excellent. Thanks for being another sensible and reasonable voice from the right.

    P.S. I found you through a post on TownHall.

  6. You’d be a good addition to the great commentators on The American Thinker.

  7. love it. solid positions. thanks r.j.

  8. Hello! I had the honor of meeting your parents last night! They are very proud of you. I know my husband will thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. Best wishes

  9. you are an idiot

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.
