3 conservative websites you may not know

First off you have to visit drudge report and Michelle Malkin’s blog at least once a day. There are also  several other well known websites that all conservatives should know about including human events and redstate. However there are three websites that I feel don’t get the credit they deserve.

1) Politico : There are constant updates on this website and great articles about conservatism and current events. There is a great article up right now on Obama’s failure to appease gay rights activists.

2) Jason Mattera : The best part about this website is the video section where Mattera confronts Democrats around D.C. and also goes undercover at left-wing rallies. He is the author of a great book called Obama Zombies.

3) Patriot Post : This website has numerous articles about conservatism from great writers (such as Peggy Noonan and George Will). I highly recommend checking it out.

being a conservative on a college campus

“The American (college) campus has become an interesting place for a conservative.” –Dinesh D’Souza.

I will officially be done with college next month and in my four years of college I can certainly agree with D’Souza’s statement. It was interesting to be on a college campus during 2008 when you were a complete fool and ignorant voter if you did not support Barack Obama and his radical liberalism. It was also interesting to have my college commencement be used as a platform for Al Gore to push his global warming agenda on my graduating class. Some people, especially students, can easily get discouraged and even sometimes feel the need to become apologetic about being a conservative. I am a conservative because I believe that conservatism represents American values such as; limited government, individual rights, and many more. These are the values our country was founded upon and I believe it is important that we continue to fight for them. In 1960 Barry Goldwater (pictured above) felt similar sentiments when writing The Conscience of a Conservative, “I have been much concerned that so many people today with conservative instincts feel compelled to apologize for them.” It is extremely important that conservatives do the opposite of apologizing for their beliefs. Conservatives should stand up to the values they believe in because these values are embedded in America. And as Goldwater went on to write, “Thus, for the American Conservative, there is no difficulty in identifying the day’s overriding political challenge: it is to preserve and extend freedom.” I believe these words still ring true today and we should continue fighting for this nation that has so blessed us with her freedom.
