The Sensible Conservative

I am a lawyer who has focused on criminal defense for the bulk of my career.  In the past, I have also worked for the conservative movement’s flagship magazine, National Review, toiled as a political reporter, served in Vietnam, been a county  GOP chairman and a Bar Association activist.  I’ve also been an avid student of history and political philosophy.  Over the years, I’ve learned a thing or two about human nature and society.  One of the most important things I’ve absorbed is that theory is over-rated while experience is under-appreciated.  Life is short and wisdom is hard to come by.  I know that few people wish others harm.  But, truly, good intentions are no substitute for common sense.  Plainly, a Conservative is a sensible person relying on experience.  I hope you find the observations and thoughts of the sensible conservative of value.  Read on and spread the word.
