"The insight of conservatism is the lasting power of America’s founding principles. The Claremont Institute articulates these principles with brilliant clarity, and challenges each and every Lincoln Fellow to live up to them. There is no better training ground for a lifelong campaign in the trenches of political warfare."
This week, I have the honor and privilege to have been selected to be one of twelve participants in the Claremont Institute’s Lincoln Fellowship Program. I am very excited about it – frankly, it’s a really big deal for me.
First and foremost for those FlashReport readers who are not familiar with the Claremont Institute, the mission of the Institute is to restore the principles of the American Founding to their rightful, preeminent authority in our national life. These principles are expressed most eloquently in the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims that "all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." To recover the founding principles in our political life means recovering a limited and accountable government that respects private property, promotes stable family life, and maintains a strong defense.
This is a great spot in this column to direct you to the webpage for the Institute’s awesome flagship publication, the Claremont Review of Books. I subscribe and recommend that you do as well.

How many blacks and latinos from the hood and ghetto were at this posh and exclusive gathering discussing grass roots activism.
Honestly, anyone who gives money to the Republican Party is out of touch with real California.
A devious but clever community organizer waxed you on every political level in the last election.
This model will be used over and over again with massive impact,for Republicans just can’t get their hands dirty reaching out to average people crying out for opportunity…the American dream.
Patriots during the American Revolution included all types of people not the cracked crab and Merlot set.
Hate to rain on the parade.Be prepared to be the minority party indefinetly.
