From the Desk of the Blogger

For years we have been hearing about the challenges for freedom in the face of globalism and conflict. This blog will explore the prospects of liberty and democracy in the context of immigration, education, diplomacy, philosophy and ideology among other interests and experiences of mine.

Cheers!

A Conservative’s Road to Same-Sex Marriage Advocacy

This article is perhaps the best recent story of how a conservative thinker and advocate has come to understand gay marriage as a civil rights issue.

I am one of those conservatives that "gravitate[s] toward a particularly Western brand of conservatism that value[s] small government and maximum individual liberty" -- like Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan and McCain.

I also believe that "religious beliefs [are] insufficient legal justification for government to refuse to recognize same-sex marriage."

Here's to hoping.

Thanks for this post. I commend someone that will fight the restriction of civil rights, regardless of what his past associations may suggest.
