  • Preserving Fire
    Feb 25 2026

    Why do I call myself a conservative? The answer, despite what our current political landscape may tell you, is not that controversial. Fundamentally, I believe in a limited government, free markets, strong national defense, and an emphasis on individual responsibility. As a historian, I have studied the atrocities brought upon humanity by tyrannical and unrestrained governments. Our Founding Fathers gave us a framework to prevent this, and we should follow their lead in order to preserve our liberty.

    “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” - Gustav Mahler

These are the real factors shaping our world, not the hypothesized political incentives argued over on cable news stations. We are living through a time of global restructuring, and we must look beyond headlines to fully understand what kind of future we are walking into. Go with Stephen “behind the scenes” to explore the macro forces that could change everything.
