About a month ago I had the chance to have lunch in Washington with my Trifecta friends, Steve Green and Scott Ott at BlogCon sponsored by Freedom Works. Scott told the story of his flight to DC, during which the person sitting next to him — a lifelong Democrat — struck up a conversation with Scott about conservatism. By the time the man got off the plane, he turned to Scott and said, “That makes a ton of sense.” Then he smiled and said, “My God, maybe I’m a Republican!”
That story really stayed with me. So here is the first of a new series of FIREWALL videos, called “What We Believe.” In them, I’ll do my very best to explain in as rational and non-antagonistic a method as possible, just what the fundamentals of modern Conservatism — especially Tea Party Conservatism — are all about.
Part one covers the two big items: small government, and free enterprise. In the future we’ll look at elitism, wealth creation, gun ownership, immigration, and more.
I know I don’t speak for everyone on these issues — no one speaks for everyone, not even those in the same camp — but I do hope to capture the core beliefs in a way that people who share these views can use to pass on to those people in their lives who don’t.
More soon…
