First off let me welcome you to "Constitutional Conservatism", a blog that I've decided to start to give my opinion on all the issues that face us today, ranging from healthcare to wars, economics to marijuana, and anything else that happens to cross my mind.

But let me tell you a bit about myself first. I'm Jake Humphrey, a 20 year-old sometimes college student that has developed a passion for politics and, more importantly, constitutional conservatism. If you're unsure what that is, it basically means that I believe the federal government only has as much power as the Constitution grants it, and nothing more. This belief is backed up by Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution and by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. I have and do call myself a Goldwater conservative, a libertarian, a constitutionalist, and a Ron Paul Republican and all of these titles cover the idea of constitutional conservatism.

I found my passion for this, as well as the Austrian school of economics, because of the candidacy of one man: Dr. Ron Paul. His steadfast loyalty to the Constitution, the document that all members of our government have sworn to uphold, has inspired countless numbers of youth, myself included. So in a way, I suppose this blog is dedicated to him, and all of those that uphold their oaths of office.

But now I feel as if I'm getting a little long-winded, so I'll cut off my introduction here. I hope to hear from you in the future!

For Liberty,



-Jake Humphrey
