…OP for the last fifty years. The Republican Party has not been truly united since the days of the paternalistic and ideologically neutral Eisenhower administration. After Eisenhower, the rift became evident as the Liberal and Conservative wings clashed, and their standard-bearers battled for supremacy. In the early 1960s, Conservatives rallied around Barry Goldwater to challenge the Liberals who favored Nelson Rockefeller. Goldwater won the nomin…
… Schwartz and Craig Covello for keeping this column going while I was away. I’m hoping to have an article posted sometime mid-week. In the meantime, here is one more article by Craig regarding the definition of a Conservative. I think it is very well thought out and addresses a lot of points to make one think . . . . . I was having a conversation with a friend of mine last week when, admittedly, I steered towards politics. I …
F. A. Hayek “Why I Am Not a Conservative” By Nobel laureate F. A. Hayek. “At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare, and its triumphs have been due to minorities, that have prevailed by associating themselves with auxiliaries whose objects often differed from their own; and this association, which is always dangerous, has sometimes been disastrous, by giving to opponents just grounds of opposition.” – Lord Acton Th…
…ick Tyler declined to comment on why the Gingriches were carrying the debt to the jewelry company – or whether they still carried it. LEAST “CONSERVATIVE” BAGGAGE Newt wants you to believe that Mitt Romney is the “least conservative” candidate in the primary; he fails to recall that Romney was considered one of the most conservative candidates during the primary in 2008. Romney was endorsed in the primary by Laura Ingraham, Rick Santorum, …
… it’s perhaps more accurate to state that the politics of The Super Bowl coincide with the politics of America. The United States is a center-right nation and The Super Bowl is a center-right activity. How is the Super Bowl a Conservative Event? In order to answer that question, one first has to define the values of American conservatism. TIME recently ran a column which attempted to answer the question, What does a Conservative believe? In a tec…
… nothing is happening. A “clean Sweep” in November is what most Americans are talking about. That’s all well and good but who are we going to replace them with and what will their values be? The loudest voices are those of a conservative nature. They want to bring America back from the abyss of corruption and moral depravity and back into the arms of conservative moral values. But what exactly are those conservative moral values? We need to know…
…ra in an earlier column, but I will get into certain other issues that I feel are wrong with the bills and why almost the entire populace is rallying against them. To begin with, the public option has to go. All moderates and conservatives agree. It is bad public policy and it is bad for America. The minute you put the public option into play, all private insurance companies will be driven out of business and we will have socialized health care w…
Here is a great article about Martin Luther King that shows he did not want to change America, but wanted America to live up to its founding principles. He was a true American and we commemorate him on his day! Martin Luther King Jr. Helped Recommit Our Nation To Its Founding First Principles The Foundry: Conservative Policy News. …
… election. For the Republicans, this is an election in which the grass roots are driving the agenda and the establishment merely hangs on to its power. In the early 90’s, Pat Buchanan talked of storming the castle but social conservative Ralph Reed reminded his fellow evangelicals that they were already in the castle that was getting stormed by Buchanan’s army. The good news is that much of the Republican establishment is conservative, so the …
…ems to be shaking in their boots? Is it because they do not think Gingrich can beat Obama? This seems to be the most plausible answer. However, for much of the 1980 campaign, the general consensus was that Reagan was way to conservative and could never get elected President. We all know how that conventional thinking turned out! Is it because people think he’s not Conservative enough to lead the party? This again doesn’t seem plau…
