The Conservatarian Solution: How “Just Right” Conservatism Will Rebrand, Revitalize, and Rebuild the Republican Party into an Unbeatable Coalition

Includes the BONUS The Conservatarian Manifesto! Conservatives no longer unite around their core principles. Instead, they have chosen to divide and bicker about their distinct values and agendas. The left has taken advantage of the inner turmoil to divide and conquer the Republican Party, and voters, as a result, have been slowly turning America over to the socialists. With the blame game in full swing, we are finding even more division within party ranks, with each segment claiming to have a corner on "real conservatism." But the hole just keeps getting deeper, and the platform keeps getting longer, stricter, and less inclusive. The Tea Party still may offer a viable route to redemption, but it has, to some extent at least, allowed itself to be defined by its enemies. And candidates have to pander to too many bases in order to capture a nomination, making them unable to define themselves with clarity for a diverse electorate. The Conservatarian Solution does for the conservative political landscape what every "rebuilding" college football team has to do for itself to find its feet It cuts through all of the mixed messages, diversions, and razzle dazzle in order to rediscover and focus on the fundaments. It redefines the party "base" not as the financial-political base, but as the governing base -- the working American family, whether "modern," traditional, alternative, or otherwise. It casts aside all agendas and focuses with clarity on the the three universal pillars of true conservatism -- small government, individual rights, and a prosperous economy. By uniting around the ideals that we all share and avoiding the land mines of minority wish lists, we can begin to steer America back onto the path that will allow each individual to freely pursue the lifestyle and values that give them a life worth living. The Conservatarian Solution seeks answers through the same method we ask of our restraint. For a party to govern well it must allow all citizens to pursue the happiness of their choice. Victory lies not in vanquishing one's opposition, but rather in healing the nations wounds and wresting the scepter of power from the elite, the extremes, and the purveyors of moral, social, political, and environmental agendas and returning it to the people to whom it rightfully belongs. In the end, tree huggers, Bible thumpers, and aficionados of every ilk can all joyfully share their birthright of freedom, just as Christians with many dogmatic differences have learned to get along by focusing on the ideals of love and tolerance on which they all agree. True victory can be found only in taming the forces of a government gone wild until it learns to speak only with the voice of the people who turn the gears of commerce and civilization and act only upon their will and for their benefit. Part 1: Understanding the Roots of Liberalism & Conservatism is set up brilliantly with an introduction and preface that could stand as an op-ed in the New York Times. Once the ideals and principals are laid out, the chapters go on to build a compelling and persuasive case for focusing on the core principles that all conservatives -- and nearly all Americans -- believe in and subscribe to in their daily lives.
