What are we to do as Conservatives?   I have a few ideas and over the course of the coming weeks and months I am going to share in various columns.   Sometimes each column will have to be continued as I am a firm believer that being verbose is not good. Therefore, the art brevity will be applied with my modus operandi being: I am going to tell you what I am going to tell you and then I am going to tell you and then I am going to tell you what I told you.    One could break it down into Introduction, Body, and conclusion. However, I think for practical purposes the former is a better guide to my style of writing. 

It is time for Conservatives to offer creative solutions, new ideas; it is time to move out of the box. Moreover it is time to articulate and sell these ideas with a passion that inspires other people to listen and desire to know more and also participate in the structuring of these new thoughts and ideas.   However, it is also time to turn back the pages of history and look at things that made America great and point these out to others. We need to shout them from the mountain top and articulate in language of today those great principals and those enduring ideals. We need to know our history and be able to distinguish and compare and contrast today’s leaders with yesterdays. We need to be able to articulate the ideas and thoughts of our past great forefathers into language and ideas that carry the torch forward and attracts others to the same great ideals, principals. We need to lift up the banner and hold it high and proclaim without reservation those words found in the Declaration. ‘We hold these truths to be self evident… that all men are created equal... and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights…those being life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…’ or ‘We the People of the United States in order to form a more Perfect Union…’ or perhaps some of the words of famous Presidents and statesman. 

As I have stated above I am going to endeavor to expound with brevity ideas and things that are creative, some are radical, some not every Republican will agree with but at the moment I certainly do not agree with a lot of Republicans and mainly it is those Republicans who are Republican in name only. However some ideas will seem radical even to some conservatives but there is always precedent in my thoughts and ideas as I am reaching into the past and looking at the great history of our country to project to the current day and to the future ideas and thoughts that can I hope contribute to advancing conservatism and the great patriotic ideals and principals that made and make America great!

That is how I see it!
