New Conservative Joins RMA 2.0

The Rocky Mountain Alliance 2.0 keeps growing: Welcome aboard Steve Nielson from The New Conservative (also a new father!). In his spare time, Steve is a Lockheed engineer, as well as the secretary of the Douglas County Republican Party. He’s also the third RMA member to be a graduate of the Leadership Program of the Rockies.

Make sure to bookmark his site for regular visits if you haven’t done so already. Welcome aboard, Steve!

    THE NEW CONSERVATIVE

    THE NEW CONSERVATIVE IS ONE WHO RESTS ENTIRELY ON THE CORE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES: LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. THE NEW CONSERVATIVE IS AN INTELLIGENT CONSERVATIVE, WILLING TO ADAPT APPROPRIATE CHANGES TO ENSURE QUALITY OF LIFE AND ADVANCE THE PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM. WE BELIEVE THAT FREEDOM IS ABSOLUTE AND NOT OPEN FOR NEGOTIATION. WE WILL ADVOCATE IN FAVOR OF PERSONAL LIBERTIES OVER AMBIGUOUS GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP, AND LIVE BY THE NATURAL RULE OF LAW.

    A conservative minded individual, always questioning and challenging the establishment of power. A leader in the community, and rebellious in spirit.

    I don’t agree with Steve all the time, either, but I think you’ll mostly enjoy his point of view and how he presents himself.

    As for the RMA, would it make you happier if you could organize several members to secede?

    I’m getting ready to write a book review that I think you may not agree with too much. Anticipation…

    Jonesie – I am a fan of the SA because of his very libertarian stance on a number of issues. I am a libertarian minded individual… in as much, the New Conservative fully supports the founding principles… New Conservative is NOT to be confused with Neo-Con… the New Conservative is actually a pun, as a true “New Conservative” is ultimately an old-school conservative.

    I believe that logic, reason, and a little passion for the founding principles will result in a truer message.

    I look forward to your comments on some of my posts.

    Cheers!
