On Friday night, February 23rd, the YCT State Convention began in Houston. First, we started with a visit to the house of a state representative (and a former YCT chairman).

The Future of Religion in American Politics Explored at Reagan Symposium at Regent

D’Souza defends the Wren Cross at William & Mary
On Thursday, February 1, I attended the ISI Cicero’s Podium debate at the College of William & Mary.

In light of the “racist tirade” that Michael Richards (aka “Kramer”) went on at a comedy club last week, Seinfeld convinced Letterman to allow Richards to come on to his show and apologize […]
Post-election thoughts: Where Have All the Conservatives Gone?
The following is from the introduction of the email I sent out to all of ISI’s Volunteers this week after the elections: Over the past week, many right-of-center college students have felt disappointed. The Republican Party many of them supported has now lost power in both houses of Congress. But is this really a time […]

On October 10, another edition of the ISI Young Alumni’s Conservatism on Tap event took place in Washington, D.C. This time, it was moved to a new and much more impressive venue: The District Chophouse in the heart of downtown D.C. There are no distractions there, as we had our own room in the basement, […]
