Reminder: Paleoconservatives, neoconservatives, fiscal hawks, social conservatives, libertarians, and more are ALL principal members of the conservative movement—and TOGETHER we are a force that cannot be ignored or dismissed.
“Perhaps the most important fact to assimilate about modern American conservatism is that it is not, and has never been, univocal. It's a coalition with many points of origin and diverse tendencies—not always easy to reconcile...” George Nash
Like those who founded this great nation, we too are willing to risk everything for freedom. Together, we as a movement can provide the intellect and courage to deliver real answers—and ensure that we will continue to be a nation that holds true to our founding principles.
The men and women who fought to create our nation fought because they had a clear idea about timeless principles that would sustain us from one generation to the next.
Our founders fought for a country that prized FREEDOM: Freedom from dictatorship and arbitrary rule, freedom to exercise their God-given rights, and freedom to create the laws by which they would govern themselves.
We cannot afford to let the left define conservatives any more than we can afford to leave lessons of our great founding to those who have redefined the true meaning of freedom.
Rather than cede the rising generation to the left, we must reach out to them, introduce them to the bedrock of freedom and conservative principles, and interpret those principles in terms that young people can relate to, emotionally as well as intellectually.
