A new conservative organization in Vermont has been formed with the hopes of bringing together the different factions of conservatism, billing itself as a “forum for the intellectual right in Vermont.”
The Lyceum Society of Vermont is an intellectual forum founded in 2007 which is dedicated to providing an exchange of ideas among traditionalists, paleoconservatives, classical [...]
