The Wilderness Manifesto

This blog has been in the works for weeks now, but I postponed launching it until today for what I believe are obvious reasons. In the wake of yesterday's liberal electoral victories, conservatives are left wondering about the future. Some pundits have gone so far as to say that conservatism is dead, and that America has outgrown it. Conservatives and Republicans alike are playing the blame game, accusing different parties of making the fatal mistakes that lead to last night's result. In my opinion, this is a natural reaction to one of the worst Republican electoral outcomes in memory. That being said, as conservatives we should not linger on the past - we need to plan for and look forward to the future. This is the purpose of this forum.

I intend this blog to be a discussion forum for reasoned and thoughtful conservative thought with respect to politics, economics, and US national security. This is not a closed forum, or a bully-pulpit in any way. I welcome all participants. The future of conservatism, and our nation, depends on sound and consistent ideas, and the successful application of them. I hope that this forum contributes in some small way.
