About

Welcome to Conservatives on Fire. My name is Jim Gourdie. I am not an expert in political science, nor an economist and I am certainly no pundit. I’m just an ordinary American who is delighted to see that conservatives are  truly on fire for the first time in decades. The Tea Party Patriots are a great example. There is no shortage of first class conservative blogs and web sites. We conservatives have some terrific talent out there. My hope is that this blog will compliment the work that is already being done; not because of any talent I have ; but because of the collective talent of those that participate on this site. Conservatives on Fire is a platform where conservatives can come together to do two things:

1. Here we are dedicated to defending the Constitution, as our founding fathers intended, to defending free market capitalism, and to defending the inalienable rights and freedom of the individual. We need to be better at defending and marketing conservative ideas and ideals.

2. We need to move beyond pointing out the folly of the progressive/socialists ideas and pointing out all that is wrong with our current over sized and out of control government and start to focus on the development of concrete ideas to put America back on the right track.

Here at Conservatives on Fire I will write on some theme which will incorporate my ideas for improving our government. You are welcome to critique my ideas as you wish; but more importantly you can propose your own ideas or ideas you picked up from someone else without worrying if they are a little far out. Together we can brainstorm and refine these ideas until we have something we can promote to our elected officials and to conservative activist groups like the Tea Party  Patriots; which if implemented, will turn this country of ours around. Its my opinion that we can’t afford to sit back and wait for someone else to come up with the ideas.

If you agree that defending capitalism and generating ideas for a better America are worthy of your time, welcome aboard.
