Greetings! Consti here in the secret underground bunker think tank where the staff and I have come up with a tong-n-cheek look at conservative values. They are not necessarily just values a conservative should hold, but more the values every politician who seeks to rule over the American public should be held to.

Self-Interest Meets Self Reliance

by Stare Decisis August 31, 2009

At the time, it seemed useless and irrelevant to read Aristotle and Rousseau when so much was going on in the world around me, but as we reached the end of the course, we read portions of Tocqueville. The words written over a [...]
