Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has become the driving philosophical force behind today’s conservative wing of the GOP. While he has not been in Congress long (Lee took office in 2011), he has spent much time and energy considering the philosophical underpinnings of why we conservatives believe the things that we do.
One of the biggest dilemmas facing our nation today has to do with the sad collapse of many of our dearly held constitutional principles. Every day we hear of new attacks on the Bill of Rights, whether it’s another thinly veiled attempt at gun control, or restrictions on our religious liberty in the public arena, or even liberal arguments to limit free speech. The Constitutional values at the core of our nation are in danger, and it’s up to conservatives to defend them.
