Liberal vs. conservative media

You shall judge a man by his friends. Or his Twitter follows. A group of researchers at Duke University found that public figures who are not openly political, as well as private citizens who use the site mainly for social purposes, unwittingly reveal their political leanings through whom they choose to follow, and who follows them. In other words…

Conservative Republican views

Significantly fewer Republicans believe in evolution than did so four years ago, setting them apart from Democrats and independents, according to a recent . But behind this finding is a puzzle: If the views of the overall public have remained steady, and there has been little change among people of other political affiliations, how does one account…

Conservative Liberalism

Data from eight University of Texas/Texas Tribune Polls conducted among registered voters between May of 2011 and June of 2014 allow us to estimate the mean ideological position of the voting public in 20 of the state’s 21 most populous counties — counties which combined contain almost three-fourths (73 percent) of the Texas population.

Conservative Ideals

Define conservative Republican

The heated rhetoric sounds like a campaign-style debate. And one of the reasons is that the stakes are high and the divide is growing. As we have written, the libertarian-style national security perspective espoused by Paul has been gaining steam in recent years - to the point that more hawkish figures like Christie - and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.)…

Conservative ideology definition

As the politicos battle it out (or, at least make a show of battling it out) in D.C., I can’t help but be struck by Kirk’s brief but solid definition of “ideology” from his “Errors of Ideology.” Unleashed by the French Revolution, ideologies have plagued the world for well over 200 years now. They continue to infect. We, the infected. . . . and, it…

Conservative Economics

Photo Credit: via YouTube Europe has taken leave of its senses—or its economic leaders have. That, in a nutshell, is the case that Paul Krugman makes in his column Friday. America s economy may be making a stumbling, long overdue recovery, but the eurozone remains in deep doldrums, a crisis that Krugman compares to the 1930s. A sort of mass hysteria…

They don t like being called establishment Republicans,and…

Conservative Presidential

The goal of these tools is to equip CR readers with the full scope of each candidate’s past, present, and future. This is accomplished in two ways: First, the CR Presidential Profiles look at each candidates record and rhetoric. Second, the CR Presidential Survey asks candidates questions about key issues that are critical to our nation’s future and…

Conservative values

When I was growing up in Atlanta, my parents never gave me an allowance. On Saturday each week, I would either cut grass or wash cars for my neighbors. The few dollars a week I earned were my own “discretionary spending.” I was allowed to spend those dollars however I wished, but once the money was spent, I had to wait until the next Saturday to try…

Define Social conservative

At the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend, the nation’s largest annual gathering of conservatives, many speculated that the GOP might be veering in a more libertarian direction—or at least influential leaders within the party might be prodding it or might be anxious for it to go in that direction. The Daily Beast ran the headline…

Characteristics of conservatism

What with our stern opposition to the radicalism of the Soviets, however, and our national abhorrence of collectivism in all its varieties, a good many Americans now doubt very much whether they care to be called liberals or radicals. The liberals, for a good while, have been drifting leftward toward their radical cousins; and liberalism, in recent…

Liberalism in the 19th Century

Jeb Bush is the corporatist GOP s Lawn Gnome, much like yesterday was Bud Selig Bobble Head Day at the Milwaukee Brewers baseball park. Like we wouldn t understand a 21st Century Selig Bobble Head.

Conservative Policy

Across the country, they will find that voters are tired…

Conservative vs. Republican

The way Hillary Clinton is acting it seems to be a foregone conclusion she’s going to run for president in 2016. First her book tour, then her visit to Iowa for Senator Harkin’s annual Democrat steak fry, where she exclaimed, “I’m back!” And of course the recent birth of her granddaughter Charlotte, which seemed all too contrived by Chelsea to help…

Social conservative beliefs

Like Governor Christie, he has muscled through a Republican fiscal and social agenda in a Democratic-leaning state. Last year, he became the first governor ever to survive a recall election, which was called over new limits he authorized on collective bargaining rights for state employees. And he is adamant that the party’s conservative stands on social…
