Dear John,

You’ve probably heard the put-downs: “Dead consensus.” “Zombie Reaganism.”

A lot of conservatives today bash the fusionism that came to ascendance in the 1980s.

But what if these critics misunderstand what fusionism is?

In our newest podcast episode ([link removed]) , Dr. Donald J. Devine says that’s exactly what’s happening.

Do you think fusionism was simply a set of policy ideas that made sense only during the Cold War . . .

. . . or a political coalition that can no longer exist in America today?

You’ll think again after you listen to this fascinating conversation ([link removed]) .

Fusionism isn’t about mere political calculation, Dr. Devine shows. It’s a powerful philosophy that guides us in harmonizing freedom and tradition.

And it has powerful lessons to teach conservatives today.

In this episode you’ll learn:
* About the most important fusionist thinker, Frank Meyer, and why his thought is so relevant now

* How Meyer transformed from a communist into one of the first "conservatarians"

* Why conservatives still need John Locke and Friedrich Hayek

* What the right gets wrong about the federal bureaucracy—explained by the man who ran it for Ronald Reagan

* Why Dr. Devine believes “the first libertarian is God the Creator”

* . . . and more!

Give it a listen. ([link removed])
