Our country was once a beacon of strength, grounded in traditional values that formed the bedrock of this remarkable American experiment. Core principles like the nuclear family, civic responsibility, and a collective sense of moral integrity were pillars that helped shape a nation founded on ideals both steadfast and ambitious. Yet, the evolution we have witnessed since the 1960s—fueled by movements that heralded “progress”—has hollowed out this nation’s foundations, ushering in an era marked by moral decay and a profound disintegration of the ethical framework that sustained our national identity for centuries. However, this drift into decadence and societal fragmentation is not irreversible. Through comprehensive moral, cultural, and civic education, we can begin to heal the ailing state of our union. It is this mission—restoring America’s core values—that drives us at the Center for Realpolitik and American Values.

Furthermore, we hold that America’s engagement with the world must be reshaped to reflect a more balanced and genuine alignment with the interests of the American people. A pragmatic, clear-eyed approach to international affairs can foster a healthier, more stable view of America’s role both abroad and at home. We envision a bold, refined framework for foreign policy, one that moves away from the heavy-handed, often self-serving actions that cater to private interests and the entrenched political aristocracy in Washington. The world is in flux; post-war alliances and power structures are shifting as the dynamics of global influence are fundamentally recalibrated. If America is to navigate the complexities of the 21st century successfully, it must recognize and adapt to these emerging realities—embracing national sovereignty, prioritizing internal stability, and respecting the contours of a multipolar world order.

Our aim is to usher in a new paradigm of conservative governance, a movement anchored not in nostalgia but in forward-looking frameworks that foster innovation in thought, dialogue, and policymaking. This vision extends beyond America’s borders to a growing coalition of nations that share a commitment to redefining conservative governance in the modern Western world. Together, we seek to reestablish principles that strengthen our social fabric, restore national identity, and promote a model of governance that respects the cultural and political sovereignty of each nation, while advocating for a united and principled global presence.
