Day 1: November 5, 2008

Today, the day after Democrats swept the Presidency and expanded their majorities in both the House and the Senate, is a time to reflect on Conservatism, its past, present and future, and its true meaning. It is a time to come together to regain our voice, and craft our path ahead to a brighter future. It is not about winning or losing for their own sake. It's about what's best for our country and always will be: limited government, a strong national defense, individual freedom and its corresponding responsibility.

The purpose of this blog, then, is to offer a forum for discussion of what Conservatism means, what it is, and what it looks like in the modern age. It's about how Republicans have strayed from its simple concepts as so eloquently embodied by Ronald Reagan, and how, as a people, we can reclaim its principles and battle effectively in the world of ideas.

Our nation faces very difficult times ahead. It is vitally important that each one of us fight for this great land, for all it has stood for in its short, but rich history. Today, then, let's begin that long process of reclaiming Conservatism. Let's begin a discussion about what Conservatism is and should be, and begin to reclaim our country.
