It was the iconic love-match marriage of the 1980s. Ronald Reagan was best man and Margaret Thatcher matron of honour when conservatism embraced neo-liberalism at the start of a relationship that seemed destined to conquer the hearts of the developed

It is true that Peter Hitchens is one of the last public conservatives allowed to exist in Britain. The establishment is apparently willing to tolerate him as a relic, but eagerly waits to consign him to history and prevent any

Here are some of the things that have been said by the guy who has galvanized the GOP’s Tea Party base and taken the lead in the Republican presidential race:

Wednesday on his radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh discussed the backlash within certain conservative circles to the candidacy of GOP front-runner Donald Trump. Limbaugh specifically focused Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens, who unleashed a scathing attack in the Journal earlier

I remember having a conversation with a local city official in Kentucky when the Kelo Supreme Court decision came down. Conservatives, myself included, were outraged that the Supreme Court had wrongly allowed using eminent domain to take private property from one private property owner and give it to another private owner.

In a call to the Republican Party to “man-up” and boldly stand up for conservative principles, while instilling them into national policy, Jindal says the “bad news” is that Walker’s newly released proposal “provides universal coverage with a guarantee of government coverage for everyone.”

GOP presidential candidate Ohio Governor John Kasich sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview broadcast on Sunday’s “State of the Union,” and was challenged with accusations that he sounds like a Democrat sometimes. Kasich said that Republicans “allowed themselves

Hot on the heels of the outrage-that-never-was regarding Manchester United’s “sexist” women’s replica kit comes the demand from a “Conservative” cabinet minister that the team reinstate its ladies squad. Tracey Crouch MP – who doesn’t at all have a vested

Bruce Jenner is taking heat from liberal transgender women for being too conservative in his political views.

One of the problems faced by Republican campaigns is that Silicon Valley tends to lean left, giving Democrats substantial support in a variety of forms from the big tech companies. There are plenty of great tech people out there ready to work for Republican campaigns, though. Recruiting them early and folding them into a well-organized campaign is essential. Gov. Scott Walker seems to have done just that.

Every conservative who cares about the unholy mess known as Congress should visit conservativereview.com (CR) and examine the “Liberty Score.” Every liberal who wonders how conservatives view their elected leaders should examine it as well.

By the time you read this, I may well already be on the road, heading to Phoenix for the opening night of my multi-city tour of comedy clubs across America. It’s an arduous and ambitious tour that I really don’t have to be doing. But I feel I need to. Here’s why.

The nation’s top young female conservative activists will gather in June to train in the methods they will use to bring the message that the ideology of the Left will make women more dependent on government and less successful in their individual goals.

Caving in to the conventional wisdom that moving to the center will garner popular support and electoral victory, some California Republicans are stating their disenchantment with conservative stances.

With a twinkle in his eye, Stan liked to tell liberals that he never really liked Nixon until Watergate. Or that he didn’t care much for what Joe McCarthy was trying to accomplish, he just liked his methods. One of the

In a panel discussion at CPAC Thursday, American Principles in Action (APIA) education director Emmett McGroarty debunked pro-Common Core talking points and made the claim that a Republican presidential nominee who supports Common Core would essentially be “unelectable” against Hillary Clinton in the general election.

A column in the Washington Post Wednesday observes that opponents of the Common Core standards continue to brave obstacles in their efforts to repeal the unpopular initiative.

CPAC is coming up next week. And it’s going to look much different than in recent years. This year, the hosts have vowed to focus on three crucial elements of conservatism first outlined by Ronald Reagan.

The “Reformocon” movement won’t gain ground unless it realizes that the market is the best way to help people. The poor don’t need handouts from a more efficient version of the Mommy State to “reap the benefits of competition” – the incredibly low cost and high quality of the goods and services they enjoy, from inexpensive and abundant food to the low-cost shopping experience of Wal-Mart, have done more to improve their lives than easily-abused Big Government welfare programs.

Put simply, not everything about human nature is reducible to society’s modes of production. A person is a moral, political and religious entity. And it is his natural complexity that we seek to conserve.

When I read the report that Sen. Ted Cruz is going to oppose President Obama’s nomination of Loretta Lynch to be Attorney General, I thought, “There’s a gutsy choice.” I mean, who doubts that Cruz will be bombarded, once again, by the usual liberal hit-men, from Jon Stewart to E.J. Dionne to Rachel Maddow?

A politics professor associated with leftwing activism and anti-Semitic views at Brandeis University will no longer teach at the school following a one-year terminal sabbatical.

The great Abraham Lincoln historian Harry V. Jaffa, one of the great thinkers of his generation, has passed away at the age of 96.

While the convention speech is notable for its focus on the division between rich and poor, the Iona College is remarkable for its emphasis on a common question facing members of a prosperous society. What is the purpose of wealth, Cuomo asked, if it does not provide happiness?
