Hi, I'm a new member, and I came across the "blogs" section while skimming the forums. My blog, Defensible Conservatism
http://www.defensibleconservatism.wordpress.com, attempts to justify conservatism on completely rational, practical grounds. I hope to steer clear of the all too prevalent practice of spouting rhetoric or clinging blindly to ideology. It's written with an emphasis on free market economics, state's rights and decentralization. If you'd take the time to give it a read, I'd appreciate (and hopefully apply!) any and all advice and feedback. Thanks!
