THE PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE, USA
An Online Journal of Political Commentary & Analysis
Dr. Almon Leroy Way, Jr., Editor
THE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY OF THE EDITOR:
A SUMMARY STATEMENT
My political philosophy is that of an American Conservative who is also an American Nationalist. The central tenet of
American Nationalism is the conviction that, in all of our considerations of public policy, the United States of America and its national
interests and security must be paramount. In foreign affairs and international relations, this means: America above all,
above all in the world! My particular version of American Nationalism holds that, while the general interests and safety of the
U.S.A. must be at the very top of our list of important concerns, our longterm and most highly valued English-speaking allies Britain,
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand must occupy a very, very, very high position of second importance in our considerations.
In domestic affairs, my version of American Nationalism comprehends, most importantly, protection and preservation of the
United States Constitution, the rule of law, our democratic republican institutions of government, the federal union of states, the partial
but substantial autonomy of the states, and the constitutional rights and liberties of the individual citizen. Also comprehended
is ensuring the continuing viability and growth of America's free-market economy in a wholesome physical environment and in a
cultural/social environment derived from Judeo-Christian moral values, Western civic and political values, and the Americal historical
experience, including the wisdom of the Founding Fathers.
