Conservatism in Crisis

We have never been more divided as a country. We are on the brink of Civil War and there seems to be no end in sight. You have on one end, racist, intolerant, evil people protesting for hate. On the other end, you have vigilantes who resort to violence to create peace - hurting the structure of our society and putting lives in danger. Neither side is right, and both must be condemned thoroughly. Now, we have a President who refuses to condemn the alt-right. A President who is adding fuel to this side of the fire. Then America has a large group, the media and the Democratic Party's establishment, not condemning the alt-left, but instead promoting and glorifying it. This blog post, will hopefully help show the major hole in the Democratic Party's public image, and in the process, show that "Love Trumps Hate" is not always as it seems.  This is purely my own theory, based on the work done by numerous conservative writers, with one in particular. So as the title s...

The Bill of Rights was established by our Founding Fathers. I personally consider myself a Constitutional Conservative and believe that what the Constitution says (including the Bill of Rights) is the law of the land and is not a "living, breathing document" like others believe. With this, I believe fully in the Second Amendment. I believe that citizens have the right to bear arms and that right shall not be taken away. When it comes to the topic of gun control, it seems to me that it is only ever widely discussed during severe and dramatic instances. For example, after every mass shooting in the United States under the Obama administration, Democrats called for harsh and ridiculous gun control measures. This would be debated and argues and fought over for a few weeks after the horrific tragedy and then it would eventually fizzle out and America would direct it's focus on a different subject instead. This may seem shocking to think about, a serious topic such as gun c...

Economics is a very debatable topic. Many experts argue and deliberate on numerous topics related to the economy. This makes sense, since the economy is one of, if not the most important aspect to a country's success. A great economy makes a great country. Now in today's society, citizens of the United States tend to fall into one of two categories when expressing their beliefs on economic principles: those who are Capitalist, and those who are Socialist. Now this isn't entirely black and white, right and left, and Republican and Democrat. People do fall in the middle. Debate is necessary for progress, and bipartisanship is the only way to truly make change. Well, this may be the case for some situations, but Republicans really do have the advantage when arguing economics. More capitalistic economies are objectively better than more socialist economies. Now why is that? This blog post delves into my own economic theories and what I personally believe is right. Because this ...
