Welcome to The Asian Conservative
The Asian Conservative is an Internet column and association of traditionally valued, limitly governing, and fiscally responsible Asian Pacific Americans.
We deeply feel that the conservative consciousness of Asian Americans are developing and that we are coming to realize that our values and beliefs are more in line with conservative thinking than that of any other political party.
As Asian Americans we feel that despite our successes both economically and socially, we lack the presence in the heart of the political institutes of this country. We believe that given the current lack of involvement in politics and under-representation of Asian political figures, our interests and values cannot be served faithfully.
The Asian Conservative’s mission is to offer the Asian American community genuine political leadership by representing their aspirations, concerns, and lifestyles. We stand to promote Asian men and women to participate in politics, at all levels, with the aspirations to offer up congressional and governing candidates.
We welcome you to join us, by spreading the word as we build this institution for the conservative cause.
Interesting website. It has been about 2 weeks since the last post. Hope you have not given up. Feeling discouraged by constant re-hashing of stale arguments during this past election, I’m looking for new venues of conservative discussion.
Most conservative websites are dominated by the supposed Neo-Con/Paleo-Con divide. That’s not my fight. Never was. There are respectable people on both sides of that debate. But regrettably, many internet discussion boards are dominated by the worst of both camps. Comments on these boards tend to break down into 2 repulsive categories: hate for Muslims & hate for Mexicans.
I’m not looking for a website that reinforces my view of conservatism. Just want us to be respectful when we disagree. It is entirely possible to support Israel without dehumanizing Muslims. Likewise, one can favor strict border control without dehumanizing Mexicans. High-brow conservative publications understand this. All of my real-life conservative friends (even here in flyover country) understand this.
Although your website’s mission looks simple, it serves as a powerful reminder that racial minorities can help the conservative movement. This would go a long way to neutralize some of the cowardly, anonymous white-supremacist nonsense spouted by supposed conservatives on the internet. Could also be the key to building a winning, optimistic conservative coalition.
Would also encourage you to try cross-posting on TheNextRight, which is a growing website focused on building a conservative grasssroot movement. Best of luck to you.
Steve,
Thank you for stopping by. We have not given up and are in the process of looking to find contributors to help grow this blog. If you have any contacts please send them our way. I’d also be happy to chat more about what we are trying to do and if there is anything we could do to help TheNextRight in anyway.
As for your views on the Neo-Con divide, I echo your sentiments precisely and believe that an open dialogue needs to exist. It’s becoming far to common to see, hear, and read the arguments of the “Right” uncoordinated and biased in an ill-defined version of conservatism.
With our recent defeats both Presidentially and Congressionally I think now is the perfect time for conservatism to readdress itself and rediscover it’s true principles.
