With the whole small conservative movement here, I thought that maybe some of those conservatives would want to contribute to a blog. I think it would be very interesting. There would be a strong emphasis on personal freedom and liberty, and there could be a variety of conservative viewpoints, as well as some shared ones. It would be nice to have a blog for teenagers who are outspoken against President Obama, as most of today's youth are head over heels over him. I just need ideas, cooperation, and offers. We could even create a site with more than just a blog if it were possible. Please contact me or reply to this thread if you are interested.

Well I would love to but it seems after doing some research, I'm against SOME arguments and points of conservatives, if you ever want someone like me, let me know.
I may be wrong, but it looks like you're more of a libertarian than a traditional conservative. I accept that certain varieties of modern conservativism and libertarianism can be shown to share some common features, but I think there is a distinction. Ron Paul is far from being a traditional Republican and your advocation of free market economics goes beyond what many conservatives would accept.
I'd be happy to contribute to a libertarian blog, but I'm not a teenager, sadly, and while I'm interested in the movement and believe many of its tenets are important, I am by no means exclusively libertarian.
You may be interested in the following authors: Murray N. Rothbard (Man, Economy and State in particular - Rothbard was one of the founding anarcho-capitalists), Ludwig von Mises (Human Action: A Treaty on Economics), Friedrich von Hayek (Road to Serfdom) and Robert Nozick (Anarchy, State and Utopia).

I may be wrong, and I know the two political movements/ideologies can be shown to share some common features in recent times, but it looks like you're more of a libertarian than a traditional conservative.

You're right. I am a libertarian. However, libertarians come in both liberal and conservative flavors. The Old Right looked more like the chart right here. Here's where I am:
Compass:
You are a far-right social libertarian.
Right: 7.76, Libertarian: 8.68
If the chart doesn't show the "x" where it's supposed to, and instead shows it in the center, please tell me.
I hope that explains why I consider myself a traditional conservative. I am nowhere near the leftist social libertarians. I'm more of a Ron Paul flavor libertarian, which is classic conservatism at its best. If I'm not, that's where I stand anyway. It's a fun quiz to take. I highly recommend it:
