Articles by Nick Adams

Nick Adams is a conservative political commentator, author, and columnist for PatriotUpdate.com. An Australian, Nick has a deep love of America and her ideals and has written extensively on American cultural and political life. Commonly referred to as "the de Tocqueville of our generation" for his contributions to the field of American exceptionalism, he has successfully caused a resurgence in the popularity of the idea worldwide. Nick has been described as one of the orators of our generation, and his writing has often been compared to Alexis de Tocqueville. Having spoken in over twenty states since 2009, he is a growing phenomenon, often bringing his audience to their feet and reducing them to tears with his inspirational and compelling reasons as to why he believes America is the greatest nation in the world, and why he is ready to fight to protect the country at all costs. He considers America to be more than a geographical entity or collection of fifty states; he sees it as an inspirational ideal and the model to which every nation should aspire. For this reason, he believes a love for America is in the bloodstream of any conservative, and that there is no greater moral imperative than keeping America strong. What is good for America is good for the world! He is a regular on various nationally-syndicated conservative media platforms, and well-known for his straight-talking style. He loves pick-up trucks, Texas, burgers, pancakes and Southern women. He recently was the celebrity judge of the national beauty pageant, "Miss Conservative America," which fellow PatriotUpdate.com columnist Ann-Marie Murrell emceed. He is the author of two published books on American exceptionalism, entitled America: The Greatest Good and Exceptional America: Stories of a Modern-Day de Tocqueville.
