On this the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I feel it is highly appropriate to launch the inaugural posting of "The Brother on the Right". The objective of this blog is to give a voice to many black conservatives who don't feel that there are enough of us out there to stand up and be counted. In reality, there are many of us out here it's just that we are hidden among the numbers

First, let us start with the dictionary definition of conserve: to keep from being damaged, lost or wasted; to save keep, or preserve. In politics, a conservative is defined as someone tending to conserve or preserve established traditions or institutions.Now let us ask a leading question. Is it worthwhile to conserve or be a conservative? George Santayana, Spanish-American poet and teacher

My first thought when I picked up Dr. Hunter's book, A New Kind of Conservative, was, Here we go again; another ultra-right wing, evangelical preacher on his soap box, ranting and railing against the sins of our society and the failures of our secular government. But I soon realized that he is nothing of the sort. Instead, in this thoughtful and extremely well written book, he challenges the

They have gotten themselves into a terrible mess. The Democratic Party has turned their fate over to uncertainty because they have allied themselves with less than moderate people. Many people complain about how the Republican Party listens to religious voters a lot these days. Whether it is true or not, there is another side to this issue you might not notice as much. If the Republicans Party is

Hi folks. I know today I was supposed to post my weekly article, but I burned my hand a little bit (nothing serious, just can't use it because it HURTS BAD). So I can't finish my article that I had begun earlier today. I'll post in a few days when I can touch my keyboard.

Seems like just yesterday I was getting emails about the 2005 elections. Yet here we are again in a far more important election year. It’s time to start up the campaign machine, so to speak.The question of the year is simple – who will be in power in 2007? On a national level (I can’t speak for any local elections except those in Colorado), things look grim. Indeed, they look very grim for the

Odd, isn’t it, that people can complain about their position in the world, and yet at the same time, demand to maintain the status quo that is keeping them in their pitiful position in the world. In France, protests are of course occurring. However, instead of Muslims protesting the bigotry of the progressive French, it is students and union bosses who are protesting the likely passage of the

Since I am on spring break, I have decided it is the appropriate time to discuss something dire. Ladies and gentlemen, we are doomed. In fact, we are so doomed that I don’t think it really matters anymore.Allow me to explain myself. Actually, allow someone else to explain it to you.

Dubai Ports World is a company we are all quite familiar with due to recent media and political coverage. Dubai Ports World has now agreed to sell its operations to a U.S. owned entity. Is this a victory for America? In my opinion, this is by no means a victory; it is nothing less than a startling defeat for America.

I have talked about my optimism for the conservative movement in America. My belief is that this movement, grounded in the ideals of freedom, equality, and self-motivation, is poised to be in the forefront of American politics for many decades to come. As a philosophy, the conservative movement is still very young. Most consider the modern conservative movement to have gained the majority rule

As I was reading other blogs today, I stopped by The Rebelution. It was here I discovered a new and very promising organization – Regenerate Our Culture. This organization is headed by bloggers I highly respect such as Tim Sweetman of Agent Tim, Kristin Braun of Spunky Jr., Alex King of Smarthomeschool, and Jake Smith of Mission36Teen.

And so ends Rock The Vote. Rock The Vote, a political action group dedicated to registering high school seniors and college students to vote, is just about bankrupt at this current point. Now that seems like a tragedy until you consider what Rock The Vote stood for when it came to how those young voters should vote. Rock The Vote was basically a liberal-voter registration aimed at recruiting

For once there is truly something worthwhile to talk about in my state of Colorado. However, last week’s article and this article are topics I wish I did not have to talk about in the first place. The Democratic controlled Colorado State House (35-D, 30-R) passed a ban on smoking in indoor public places with exemptions for tobacco shops, casinos and the smoking lounge at Denver International

Ever since the Democrats became the majority party in Colorado, the political and business climate has changed in this state. Normally I do not bring your attention to these facts because Conservative Textbook is a national-level focused blog. However, Colorado might soon be in the national news with a new law the Democratic-controlled state legislature is flirting with as we speak.The Democrats

As I watched the State of the Union address, I was pleased by nearly all I saw. One of the highlights of the speech for me was the topic of alternative energies. I am a huge fan of alternative energy for several reasons. The primary reason is because alternative energies hold the promise of being kinder on my wallet than oil currently tends to be. Two other reasons are that alternative energies

I have sacrificed my precious social life to bring this week’s article to you, my readers. I should be up at the Winter X Games 2006 in the liberal and obscenely rich town of Aspen, Colorado. As anyone can guess, the Winter X Games for a snowboarder such as myself are the Olympics of the snowboard industry.

Has anyone noticed that the modern news media is not trustworthy anymore? Of course, conservatives have known this for quite some time (decades to be exact). The mainstream media has had a terrible set of years in the new millennium. In recent months, however, the mainstream media has made this most clear to any observer. Perhaps the best way to show this decline is to take you on a guided tour

Where is the future of the conservative movement? What can we expect from it in years to come? What positions will it hold, who will be its main base, and will it maintain majority status? These are questions that both conservatives and liberals ask themselves behind closed doors, with friends, and in the secret war rooms of politics.I will not dare attempt to predict where the movement is headed

Why does the conservative movement work? Why, after years and years of socialism, indoctrination, and the fear of change, did the conservative movement overcome all odds to become the mainstream of the United States? Why did it usurp an ideal known as liberalism that was so well in place that many had given up on the ability of it to be removed?The conservative movement has taken the lead in the

September 21st was a day that liberals should have praised. A demographic that does not get much representation was able to express their views, to the dismay of the ruling class that has been oppressing them for years.Unfortunately, this demographic is vehemently despised by the liberals, who claim to stand up for the rights of all (read liberal) people. This demographic is best known by the

The redistribution of wealth is a way to create equality in America. If we were to tax the rich to take away their obscenely large pocketbooks, and give the money to the poor, we would not have three classes in America. Instead of having the rich, the middle class, and the poor, we would have the universal middle class. Right?Not quite. In theory, it works. In theory, it would probably be a

The far Left wing of the Democratic Party is quite out-of-touch with reality. The far Left wing is convinced of many things that are just not true. Some of these include: everyone in the military is forced to be there, the public schools are right-wing conservative brainwashing centers, and the mainstream media is unbiased or right leaning.Today I would like to focus in on the mainstream media.

Hello everyone, it’s Uncle Rico. I just finished downloading a new CD on my iPod and heard about John Bolton being nominated as the ambassador to the U.N. Right on! We need a strong leader to make drastic reforms at the United Nations, and a diplomat who will advance America’s interests too.Upon hearing of Bolton’s appointment, I thought that the Liberals in the Congress had voted; then I

“The deficit is going to be a symbol of the GOP’s credibility problem, and the budget is going to be the document we use,” said U.S. Representative Rahm Emanuel, a Democrat from Illinois.This quote is quite right. The GOP will be remembered for what it did with the deficit these last few years.Last year, the federal budget deficit for 2004 was $412 billion. That is a sum that is nearly

A Note From Caleb:My readers, you are in for, what I believe, is a special treat. Today, and I hope for many months to come, we will be hearing from my new partner on my blog, Uncle Rico (is he really going to keep that name? LOL) Uncle Rico and I will be trading off with the writing. I will write an article one week, he will write one the next week, and so on and so forth.The reason I have done

A favorite topic of mine is the home school movement in America (it is also growing all around the world, but I want to focus on America in this article). I personally know many home schoolers. Some of them are my best friends.And thus, I hear, on a regular basis, an age old fear that unenlightened and ignorant people (also known as liberals) have about home schoolers. They fear that home

We must be more like Europe and Canada. For, as we all know, they know the best way to do most things in life. In fact, we should begin this necessary journey by adopting the superior healthcare system model that is currently working in Europe and Canada. It is called government-run healthcare, or universal healthcare. Senator Kerry (who served in Vietnam) made universal health care one of the

President Bush assured Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari "…there are not going to be any timetables…" for withdrawal of American troops.To most normal people, this makes perfect sense. As any reasonable person can tell you, setting a date for withdrawal is one of the most idiotic ideas anyone could come up with while we are at war. I prefer to use the WWJD method – What Would Jihadists Do?

Does anyone ever fear that we are missing opportunities to learn about other people and what they wish to accomplish in their lives? Does anyone here ever worry that people are being kept out of our sight, and that because of that, we will never really get to know them? Michael Duffy seems to think so.Mr. Duffy seems to think that we are treating the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay Prison in an

Europe is, without a doubt, the heaven on Earth for our elitist friends, the Democrats. Being of superior mind and judgment, the Left knows that we lowly Americans must strive to be like Europe. We must become unified, cultural, diversified, like the Europeans are. Thus, it has come as a most disturbing shock to the Left in this country that the mentally and morally superior Europeans have

Has anyone here ever wondered what the ultimate goal of most liberals in this country (and the world for that matter) is? Since I am a fountain of knowledge, I will let you in on a little secret – most liberals desire to enslave people. Enslave is a tough word. Let me justify the use of that word a little.Florida Governor Jeb Bush signed a bill on April 26, 2005, intended to make it clear that
