The American Republic Cannot Persist Without a Moral, Religious People—Bovard & Sen. DeMint

In the eyes of former US Senator Jim DeMint and Rachel Bovard, what is conservatism really? How has it been misrepresented? How is diversity actually a central feature of conservatism? Why is respect for a transcendent moral order important to civil society? And how do progressive policies that sound compassionate actually end up hurting the people they seek to help? This is American Thought Leaders 🇺🇸, and I’m Jan Jekielek. Today we sit down with Rachel Bovard and Senator Jim DeMint. DeMint is now Chairman of the Conservative Partnership Institute, and Rachel Bovard is a Senior Policy Director at the institute. The two co-authored the book “Conservative: Knowing What to Keep.”
