Hey, party people! Just wanted to apprise you all that I'm moving my political blogging over to Rational Conservatism, joining the top-notch team of bloggers my friend Jeff is assembling.
Per the mission statement:
I’ve long advocated a type of conservatism that I’ve not found to be nearly prevalent enough in society. I believe that Humans are both rational and emotional beings. I find no contradiction in this either. Indeed, it is the blending of the two that gives humanity its depth and its capacity for sustainable growth. By growth, I mean economically, personally, societally, spiritually and in other ways that are not coming to mind.
Pure reason is insufficient, and so is pure emotion. To be ruled by either is folly.
Rational Conservatism is to allow oneself to be informed by both, and to do so uncapriciously. The dispassionate consideration of values, reason, emotion and the impact of each before coming to a conclusion is the essence of Rational Conservatism.
This is not intended to become a dry collection of academic writings that no one wants to read. Instead it should serve as a window into not only the conservative mind, but the conservative soul. (Yes, conservatives have souls)
So, if you're interested, please add us to your Google Reader and join in the fun!
Also, we're still recruiting writers, so if this looks up your alley, let me know, and we can look into adding you to the team!
