I am a young lawyer by day and a brash, unapologetic conservative blogger by night.  I have always wanted to write about conservative topics and principles, but it just happened to be one of those things that I said I’d get to at some point and never fulfilled.

My thinking changed on November 4, 2008, when Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States.  The Republican Party put up one of the weakest candidates in history (John McCain) and lost to the most controversial and the most socialist Democrat candidate in the past 50 years (Obama).  In addition, liberals gained U.S. Senate seats on the heels of Obama’s victory.      

That catastrophic loss effected a change in my mindset.  I no longer wanted to sit on the sideline and allow events to play out without my own involvment in them.  Our country’s history and the principles that helped us build the U.S. into the wealthiest, most powerful, and most prosperous nation on Earth are too important for me to sit idly as liberals attempt to rewrite and destroy those foundations.

What made the U.S. so great are conservative principles.  The Republican Party lost the 2008 election because it abandoned those principles.  The only way to get back on top is to rebuild the conservative movement.    

The purpose of this blog is (1) to lend my own voice to this extensive reconstruction and (2) when conservatism regains its preferred status, help sustain it. 

We need to emphasize that conservative ideas (not liberal ones) are universal and effective.  Conservatism works every time it’s tried, and the majority of American voters support it.  We have to go back to those roots and build upon Ronald Reagan’s legacy.
