The Conservative’s Right Mind: A Reply to David Brooks

Constitutional Parental Rights: No “Substantive Due Process” Required 

By
Indeed, because our Constitution recognizes the right of both mother and father to the custody of their joint offspring, that Constitution surely permits—if not requires—all the states of our Union to publicly favor, once again, the lifelong “union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.”

The Augustinian State of Social Conservatism 

By
An Augustinian reading of the present moment would help social conservatives resist both triumphalism and despair. The renewal and invigoration now visible among many social conservatives may be a genuine mercy: a sign that the moral imagination—worn down though it is by the exhaustion of ambient progressivism—has not been entirely extinguished, and that many still perceive the disorder produced when freedom is detached from truth, embodiment, family, duty, and the created order.

A Conservatism of Ideals 

By
This is the conservatism we need: not nostalgia and anachronistic social conservatism, not progressive liberalism with better branding, but a bold conservatism of clearly articulated ideals for human flourishing.
President Donald Trump

The Trump Coalition and Its Discontents 

By
If nothing else, the ANES data should be yet another reminder that there is no longer any “great silent majority” of socially conservative voters. We are, at best, coalition partners with a political movement that has the tendency to default into a lifestyle libertarianism and the move-fast-and-break-things ethos of the tech bro.  

Truth, Goodness, Oak Trees, and “The Phoenix Declaration”

By
The question then arises: what do we do when the two kinds of truth and goodness come into conflict, especially in education? How are we to act when someone is a good teacher—someone who is a true buddy to a child in his or her care—but who at the same time says things in the classroom that are untrue and not capital-G Good in a deep way?
