The American Conservative

About Us
The American Conservative was founded in 2002 for serious, independent-minded conservatives. Our mission is to promote a “Main Street” conservatism that opposes unchecked power in government and business; promotes the flourishing of families and communities through vibrant markets and free people; and embraces realism and restraint in foreign affairs based on America's vital national interests. We pursue our mission by publishing hundreds of essays, articles, reviews, and blog posts each year in The American Conservative (TAC) print magazine and at theamericanconservative.com; by training and providing an outlet for young journalists; by informing policy-makers and congressional staffers on the Hill; and by hosting special conferences and events.
