The Tea Party Movement: Can There Be a Populist Conservatism?
Hudson Institute's 2010 Bradley Symposium at the St. Regis Hotel on June 16
WASHINGTON, June 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Off-year elections and opinion surveys suggest that the public is increasingly frustrated with the current direction of public policy. It seems to many that Washington is out of touch with the concerns of the American people, pursuing sweeping overhauls of health care, education, and environmental regulation, while ignoring immediate concerns like disappearing jobs and the likelihood of greatly increased taxes to cover runaway government spending. Clearly, ambitious plans for making America anew have provoked a populist insurgency. But how should American conservatism relate to this mood? Does traditional conservatism jibe at all with the populist passions of the moment? Is the notion of populist conservatism an oxymoron? Or can conservatism tap into this new populist energy without compromising its essential principles?
On Thursday, June 16, Hudson Institute's Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal will bring together a panel of experts, including Rep. MIKE PENCE, former House Majority Leader DICK ARMEY, MICHAEL BARONE of The Washington Examiner, and Liberal Fascism author JONAH GOLDBERG, to discuss the question of whether there can indeed by a populist conservatism, as well as take audience questions. Weekly Standard editor BILL KRISTOL will moderate the discussion.
