Ideology
Porchers have myriad opinions, but generally agree that centralization, atomization, and disregard for limits represent obstacles to human flourishing.[http://www.frontporchrepublic.com/about/ About], at Front Porch Republic; retrieved December 12, 2014
Damon Linker describes Front Porch Republic in The Week:
:Unlike the leaders of the mainstream conservative movement, Patrick Deneen, Mark T. Mitchell, Russell Arben Fox, Jeremy Beer, and the other "Porchers" have little interest in engaging with inside-the-Beltway power politics. Instead, they prefer to act as gadflies, denouncing the imperial ethos and influence-peddling that dominates Washington, as well as the boundless greed that drives would-be Masters of the Universe from around the country to seek their fortunes on Wall Street and in Hollywood and Silicon Valley.[http://theweek.com/article/index/243002/the-new-anti-urban-ideology-of-ruralism The new anti-urban ideology of ruralism], at The Week; by Damon Linker; published April 19, 2013; retrieved December 12, 2014
