Maser Media Mission

Is it time for true conservatives to abandon The US Republican party (i.e. the GOP)? We could start by refocussing on a truly "National Conservative Party" (larger and more unified than the current balkanized state (NY) and national conservative parties (ACP). Maybe this is a fools errand. The drafters of this web site believe the tenets of conservatism as described here are a concise statement of what US conservatism is today. We welcome and encourage feedback and ideas on improving these tenets and this site in general. Our mission is to present a grass roots view of the news from a conservative and especially historical perspective.

Fiscal Conservatism in the USA

We believe that most Americans actually want fiscal conservatism. We know "W" didn't deliver this nor did we think McCain could have. Fiscal conservatives support limited government, limited taxation, and a balanced budget. We admit the necessity of some taxes, but hold that taxes should be low - espeically Federal Income taxes. We argue against the inheritance tax and the death tax. We believe the Federal Reserve should be disbanded and its functions distributed to the states. We believe states should not be able to receive more Federal funds than they put in with taxes - except for extenuating circumstances. We believe social services are much more efficiently conducted at the state and local level without a huge D.C. bureaucracy.

We believe that competition in the free market is more effective than the draconian regulation of industry, with the exception of industries that exhibit market dominance or monopoly powers. For some this is a matter of principle, as it is for the libertarians and others influenced by thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises, who believed that government intervention in the economy is inevitably wasteful and inherently corrupt and immoral. For others, "free market economics" simply represents the most efficient way to promote economic growth: they support it not based on some moral principle, but pragmatically, because it "works".

George Washington - Father of Our Country

(February 22, 1732 - December 14, 1799) as the General of the Revolutionary Army, Washington's determination, leadership and refusal to give up made the difference between victory and defeat on more than one occasion. His daring attack on a Hessian fort at Trenton turned the tide in a War that had been clearly going the way of the British--not the Colonists. George Washington was elected the first president of the United States and left after two terms.

Benjamin Franklin - Founder

(January 17, 1706, Boston – April 17, 1790 Philadelphia), was an American polymath, inventor, statesman, and one of the most prominent scientists in the world, famed for his discoveries in electricity. Franklin's greatest invention was the United States of America. He was known as "the First American" because his efforts were critical to the formation of a new nation, the success of the American Revolution and the unification of the 13 colonies into the United States of America. Serving as the American minister to France, he secured decisive military and financial support for the Revolution, while asserting the values of democracy and republicanism. He assisted Thomas Jefferson in writing the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and helped legitimize the U.S. Constitution in 1787. His effective diplomacy, creative nationalism, promotion of civic virtue and devotion to republicanism earned him the top tier as a Founding Father.

Alexander Hamilton - Founder

(January 11, 1755 or 1757 – July 12, 1804) was the first United States Secretary of the Treasury, a Founding Father, economist, and political philosopher. He led calls for the Philadelphia Convention, was one of America's first Constitutional lawyers, and cowrote the Federalist Papers, a primary source for Constitutional interpretation.

Thomas Jefferson - Founder

(April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States. Major events during his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase (1803) and the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806).

James Madison - Founder

(March 16, 1751 to June 28, 1836) the 4th President of the United States of America, serving from 1809-1817. Madison took copious notes at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and, contrary to the promise of secrecy, did not destroy them as everyone else did. The records reflect that virtually every one of Madison's suggestions at the convention was rejected. Nevertheless, liberals like to call Madison the "Father of the Constitution," perhaps because Madison was more critical of religion in government than the other Founding Fathers.

John Adams - Founder

(October 30, 1735 - July 4, 1826) is one of America's Founding Fathers, serving as George Washington's Vice President from 1789 to 1797, and as the 2nd President of the United States of America, serving a single term from 1797 to 1801. In terms of party affiliation, Adams was a Federalist, and was the only Federalist to serve as President. Adams ran for re-election in the Presidential election of 1800 but was defeated by Thomas Jefferson in the latter's "Revolution of 1800."

Thomas Paine - Revolutionary

Thomas Paine was a writer born on January 29, 1737 in Thetford, England, whose works helped to spark the American Declaration of Independence in 1776. He supported the Revolution, although he believed it did not go far enough. He briefly lived in the rebelling colonies before returning to Europe in time to take part in the French Revolution.

John Locke - Philosopher

Locke (1632-1704) was a leading political philosopher during the Enlightenment, and a major contributor to liberal philosophy. His theories of the rights of man, including property, were adopted by the American founding fathers (the phrase "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is almost directly taken from Locke [his original words were "life, liberty, and estate"] ). Locke described society as a contract between individuals called the "social contract", and held that the formation of collectives by individuals was the only way to ensure economic prosperity (in his Second Treatise on Government). Locke's view helped lay the foundation for the constitutional government that we use in the United States. Locke had built on the prior work of fellow Englishmen Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes.
