The Changing Face of Conservatism

Ever since the traumatic events of 9/11, just over fifteen years ago- and the strange mental gymnastics that made the war on terror possible, Americans have been on a steady course toward a higher level awareness when it comes to politics and world events.

It’s no longer possible for us to stay in our individual ideological boxes and say; ‘I’m a conservative, so I think this way,’ or ‘I’m a liberal, so I think this way.’

That kind of thinking doesn’t cut it anymore, and it’s come clearer by the day that the real separation comes down between those who stick to their ideological groups stridently and those who follow, reason, evidence, and are guided by a respect for their fellow citizens.

On the left, there are the cultural Marxists, college students who believe everything their liberal arts professors tell them and are ready to march violently against anyone who doesn’t agree with them. When they’re not in their tax-payer funded ‘safe spaces,’ they become a threat to decency.

On the right, you have the classic corporate conservative- perhaps best represented by Mitt Romney- who are happy to have their work plagiarized by the Obama Administration so long as the interests they serve get what they have lobbied for.

In this election, you have Hillary- who represents the next phase of the middle-class crushing, war enthusiast global interests that are preparing to put the final nail in the coffin of America as we know it; and you have Donald Trump- who represents an unapologetic rebuffing of the oily management speak and bureaucratic mendacity that has made many of us sick and many more lose interest.

Trump speaks to the people directly, honestly, and without the spin and polish that has become the parlance of political hacks- excusing every corrupt deal, and never solving a real problem in the name of the people.

The reaction to this has been, many republican voters parting ways with the party in droves while those who stick to the party are getting left behind. On the left, the reaction has been to double down on the name calling.

The result has been a growing segment of the population that is looking at the state of affairs honestly and is starting- perhaps for the first time since the 1950s- to make well-informed choices about their stance on politics.

The New Conservatism

In the 1970s and 80s, the conservatives were the ones complaining about rock and roll music, and the nation quickly grew weary of their prudish attitude. Over the last few years, it’s the liberals who have become the prudes, telling us men are born rapists, that traditional gender roles are oppressive, that babies are not humans, that the traditional family is about control rather than love.

And people are getting sick and tired of their anti-male, anti-family, anti-infant, anti-spirituality, and anti-personal responsibility politics. We’re tired of the guilt trips, and we’re tired of the endless assault on our values, our families, and the ways we take care of the people who are close to us.

Enter, the new conservatism. Its part libertarian in some ways, part capitalistic, and part liberal even- in the classical sense- meaning it values personal liberty and moral responsibility. It’s far more historically astute than the left has ever been, and it isn’t afraid to point out hypocrisy when it sees it.

Comedian Dennis Miller recently said on “The O’Reilly Factor, “I think the ship has sailed, [on traditional conservatism]. I was shocked when Hillary Clinton said, ‘You can kill babies up until the minute they’re born.'”

A few years ago, after the 2014 election, the Republican Party appeared moribund. But it’s been the clear madness of Political Correctness and the bald-faced corruption of Hillary and the Obama Administration that has driven a new clear-eyed perspective that’s largely conservative.

Conservative news commentator, Gavin McInnes has said, “Conservatism is the new punk,” and flamboyant anti-feminist writer Milo Yiannopoulos has said that conservatives are now the witty ones, the fun ones, the ones with the best music, the best jokes, and the best arguments.

We Will Not be Denied

The difference is, we’re no longer sitting back and letting our representatives do the thinking for us. Supporting Trump, for example, is not something one does without giving it a good deal of careful consideration. Because the media has taken such pains to smear his reputation, only someone who does his own research can separate the spin from the reality.

It’s a new day, and a new party- and the way you can tell is by the shrieking death throes of the globalists coming through in riots, brownshirt political action, brazen political corruption, and naked lies.
