“...means that either conservatism has been redefined...”

Eric Hoffer, the Longshoreman Philosopher, once described the problem:

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”

Some of us have been around long enough to know what conservatism was when it still was a movement.

Keep up the good fight, Norm.

m want to. God knows I want to. I don’t think it’s wrong to believe in something and stand fully behind it...though that gets me and others derided as ‘purists’ (like that’s wrong?!?!?) But it sure would help conservatism if self proclaimed conservatives took their heads out of their arses and stopped capitulating and resorting to leftism while declaring it the conservative thing to do.
