A note on appearances: this site reads as left-leaning, and I understand why. But what I am actually fighting against is a current administration so far to the radical right that it can no longer honestly be called conservative.

Traditional conservatism, fiscal responsibility, limited government, rule of law, respect for institutions, has been abandoned by the very party that once claimed to own it. Opposing what is happening right now doesn’t make you a liberal. It makes you someone paying attention. I’d like to think there are honest conservatives out there who feel the same way, and this page is partly an olive branch to them.
