How I became the New Conservative

Dear Reader and Subscriber:

I am happy to start a new blog as I trod along the path of resurrecting principled conservative ideas in a climate where conservatives began to mistrust their elected Republican or Conservative Independent/Democrat leaders.

I was born into a family that had born again christian values. I have four licensed ministers in my family. I have a public/private education. I graduated from College on my own dime(thanks dad), and I am a taxpaying American that feels that my government is leaving me behind.

I erected the Jacksonville state University College Republicans. While there I was elected the State Treasurer and later Financial Director. I worked in the campaigns as a volunteer for Bob Barr, Phil Gingrey, Mike Roger(AL), Bob Reilly, Casey Cagle, Preston Smith, Tony Turner (Dad) and so on.....
I feel the GOP started leaving me before the Bush Presidency. I began to get involved in GOP campaigns and I quickly learned that I felt like a stranger in the GOP meetings. People were speaking about low taxes and pro-life issues. These people were talking but not walking the walk. After serving in the local party, I decided to take a hiatus after the horrible campaign of John McCain and the horrible consistency of Republicans rubber stamping spending bills, trampling the Bil of Rights, and considering me an enemy of the party.


Oh how far the GOP has gone to be "Popular" and not "Principled"..........

Now I am an independent conservative writer. I pray that whatever I may say be used as an instrument of goodness and light to Gods glory.

Enjoy!

Stephan
