Conservatism and Conservative Principles

Conservatism is rooted in the concepts of personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. The role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals. Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems. This website offers a comprehensive collection of insightful articles chronicling the conservative movement.
  
ABC News: Trayvon Martin Had Drugs in His System -- Autopsy
The report is here.  The report neglects to mention that in the 911 tape, George Zimmerman reported to the police dispatcher that Martin seemed suspicious to him because it seemed Martin was "on drugs or something." Like the injuries to Zimmerman, the prosecutor's affidavit does not mention that Zimmerman's suspicion about Ma

Droning on ... in Turkey
U.S. feeds drone intel to Islamic supremacist government of Turkey, which uses it to accidentally kill 34 civilians. Solution: Let's just sell them the drones -- that way, they can not only handle the air strikes but do the intel gathering themselves and (bonus!) share it with their friends the Iranians. Not kidding.

Re: Krauthammer Goes Hard Left
I happened to watch Dr. K's outburst last night regarding the use of drones for domestic law-enforcement surveillance purposes. My great admiration for him notwithstanding, this was not his finest hour. It's not my primary purpose to make an argument in favor of drone use. But his argument against it -- to wit, that a drone is a "weapo

Western Sharia
Ismail Belghar, a 36-year-old Muslim man living in Australia, assaulted, abducted, and nearly killed his sister-in-law. The victim, a 25-year-old Moroccan named Canan Kokden, had dared to take her older sister, Mrs. B, to the beach without Belghar’s permission. This heinous effrontery was amplified, Belghar later recounted for police, when Mr

The Military Is Fighting For ... Obama?
It is not the late breaking news that the current occupant of the Oval Office is the most self-adulatory president -- perhaps, person -- in our history. But, since the whole country was aware that his "evolution" on gay marriage was a con-job, I can't help but see the bracing part of his statement today as the assertion that the Unite

Obama is done "evolving" on gay marriage but he's still evolving on federalism?

The Jakarta Globe reports that the courageous Islamic reformer, Irshad Manji, was stopped from speaking in Indonesia on Saturday. A Muslim supremacist group, the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), protested that Manji (who is gay) was promoting homosexuality among Muslims.
