In this age of hyperbolic cable-news punditry, and error-filled, fatalistic social-media analyses of Supreme Court decisions, a voice of reason is needed. Young conservatives are not Tea Party Republicans, bigots, gun fanatics, xenophobes, or women-haters. Young liberals are not Obama-lemmings, enemies of religion, or responsibility-shirking free-riders. Young libertarians are not indecisive hippies. We need to dispel those harmful stereotypes. If we disagree with a political party's platform, we should propose a new one. If we see an inconsistency in an accepted analysis of a legal issue, we should point it out. If we find common ground with people that hold different views on different issues, we should move forward to a solution.
We aim to provide a forum for young professionals to discuss the important issues facing contemporary America. We will entertain the opinions of people who disagree with us. Through this civil, open-minded discourse, we will refine our arguments and find constructive, viable solutions to our country's problems.
