Red State

Welcome to RedState, a Republican community weblog.

RedState is focused on politics, and is dedicated to the construction of a Republican majority in the United States. We hope to unite serious, innovative, and accomplished voices from government, politics, activism, civil society, journalism, and, not least of all, ordinary folks, to participate in this work.

RedState is also dedicated to strengthening the hand of conservatives, and conservatism, in the Republican Party. While we are great believers in the big tent of the Republican Party, we know that Republicans do best -- as candidates and as leaders -- when they stand for, and uphold, conservative principles. Thus, since its inception, the Republican Party has always embraced a wide range of ideological beliefs, and this diversity of thought has sometimes inspired conflict -- but it has also led to great achievement. Through all debates, despite all regional or political concerns, the central philosophy of every true strain of Republicanism remains faithful to the foundational principles of the party: individual freedom and the value of every human life. These principles have guided the party from its origin as a political force to smash slavery, to the long fight against communism, to the ongoing battle for the sanctity of the unborn, to the present war against the forces of Islamism. Those principles will guide the Party through the twenty-first century, and beyond.
