146-907: A conservative political stance, broadcasting many programs hosted by conservative media personalities. CEO Christopher Ruddy has compared the network to Fox News . In August 2020, The Washington Post described Newsmax as "a landing spot for cable news personalities in need of a new home", citing the network's hiring of Mark Halperin and Bill O'Reilly following their resignations from other networks due to allegations of sexual harassment .

219-666: A federal republic under the rule of law . Conservative philosophy also derives in part from the classical liberal tradition of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, which advocated laissez-faire economics (i.e. economic freedom and deregulation ). Louis Hartz argues that socialism has failed to become established in the United States because of Americans' widespread acceptance of an enduring, underlying Lockean consensus. While historians such as Patrick Allitt (born 1956) and political theorists such as Russell Kirk (1918–1994) assert that conservative principles have played

292-432: A Conservative Party. They soon merged it into the state Democratic Parties. All of the major American political parties support republicanism and the basic classical liberal ideals on which the country was founded in 1776, emphasizing liberty, the rule of law, the consent of the governed , and that all men were created equal. Political divisions inside the United States often seemed minor or trivial to Europeans, where

365-612: A balance between federal government and states' rights .

Fiscal conservatives often argue that competition in the free market is more effective than the regulation of industry and is the most efficient way to promote economic growth .

Others, such as some libertarians and followers of Ludwig von Mises , believe all government intervention in

511-458: A book Carr has written, or other promotional gifts that WRKO has acquired. Carr sometimes sarcastically overstates the desirability of the prizes.

The terms for DirecTV's new carriage deal for Newsmax TV required the network's remaining over-the-air affiliations outside Alexandria, and free online availability (outside some exceptions) to be withdrawn as of November 1, 2023, when that access ended and

657-414: A cynical view of life in general: Carr uses irony , such as the line, "I'm shocked. Shocked !" (from the movie Casablanca ) to describe something totally predictable; or that a politically guided personnel appointment was made "after a nationwide search." When persuading someone, as with Honest Howie's Carbon Credits , he often says, "You can trust me: I'm not like the others." When a caller delivers

730-433: A distribution deal with DirecTV and would launch a national television news channel to compete directly with CNN, Fox News, and other American news networks.

In the 2022 book The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism , Matthew Continetti noted that

1022-849: A monologue heavy on sarcasm and irony , with occasional interaction with producers, with which to encourage live caller participation. Invited guests are sometimes featured. Prior to the 2011 capture of Whitey Bulger , Carr's most common theme, as at the Boston Herald, was organized crime and elected officials, which he described in similar terms. After Bulger's incarceration, Carr's focus became more political in nature. He sometimes focuses on notorious local malapropisms , such as that of former city councillor Frederick C. Langone in referring to fresh vegetables not as crudités but "CRUD-ites." Commercial breaks occur, on average, every fifteen minutes; news reports every thirty minutes in five-minute durations. Listeners can call Carr's voice mail service,

1095-749: A more militaristic , interventionist foreign policy aimed at promoting democracy abroad, which stands in stark contrast to Paleoconservatisms more isolationist foreign policy.

1241-571: A professor of history at Mount Holyoke College , wrote: Here was no lover of government by plutocracy, no dreamer of an America filled with factions and hard-packed cities. Here was a man who loved America as it was and had been, one whose life was a doughty testament to the trials and glories of ordered liberty. Here ... was the model of the American conservative. The Howie Carr Show Carr has hosted radio talk shows in Boston , Massachusetts , since

1314-479: A rap artist. If a vehicle was involved, Carr may ask whether "alcohol was a factor," as though composing a police report. That a person "won't be down for breakfast" is a favorite euphemism for death. Another frequent topic is the phenomenon of illegal aliens , especially when they receive preferential treatment. Carr's general support for the Republican Party allowed an exception for George W. Bush 's guest worker proposal. When Bush explained that aliens "do

1387-677: A rhetorical blow, Carr's signature retort is, after Red Buttons , "I didn't come here to be made sport of." When current events induce him to gloat, he always precedes it with, "My heart feels like an alligator," a line from Hunter S. Thompson 's book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas . Callers wishing to report unsavory or embarrassing details about themselves or others can request the "voice changer." Carr introduces "the Witness Protection Program of The Howie Carr Show, " adding, "Now no one will know your identity." The "voice changer"

1460-614: A smaller government is known as starve the beast . Activist Grover Norquist is a well-known proponent of the strategy and has famously said, "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." The argument in favor of balanced budgets is often coupled with a belief that government welfare programs should be narrowly tailored and that tax rates should be low, which implies relatively small government institutions. Neoconservatism emphasizes foreign policy over domestic policy. Its supporters, mainly war hawks , advocate

1533-446: A steady flow of "prescription and prejudice". Kirk's use of the word "prejudice" here is not intended to carry its contemporary pejorative connotation: a conservative himself, he believed that the inherited wisdom of the ages may be a better guide than apparently rational individual judgment. Through much of the 20th century, a primary force uniting the varied strands of conservatism, and uniting conservatives with liberals and socialists,
