Needed: Conservative Apologetics

Via American Thinker: Alan Roebuck is concerned about 'Seeker-sensitive' conservatism, which conforms to rather than challenges liberal assumptions. He says: "Let's fight liberalism where it matters most: in the realm of ideas." How? He wants a conservative apologetics to challenge the Liberal hegemony and bringing conservative back to the American people. Our most difficult challenge - "In the long run, conservatives must break the liberal monopoly over education." We need a conservative alternative institutions in higher education.

A statement that has stuck with me was the comment by a Johns Hopkins sociologist "We are at any time, twenty years from barbarism." Our culture survives and sustains itself on the next generation, and education and inculcation of our values is essential for our survival. In ideological terms, conservatives are fighting an uphill battle trying to re-educate adults who have been mis-educated into liberalism as students on campus and in our schools. We are at any time, twenty years from losing control of the destiny of our society.
