Conservatives today find ourselves in an interesting position. Rather than seek to conserve America’s long-standing traditions of limited government, individual freedom, and thriving, virtuous families and communities, we are called instead to restore these essential elements of our republic. This we must do fearlessly and without delay.

Central to this objective are two things: patriotism and unity. Without the former, we lack the vigor and faith in our principles that drive us forward and sustain us. Without the latter, we lack the combined strength on which national survival depends, and rather than prosper, we will eventually tear ourselves apart from within.
