I used to think that. Not anymore. The PDS wars and all the Bhoner excusing/Rubio/Romney supporters here (to this very day) on FR means that either conservatism has been redefined or FR is a GOP stronghold.
In the last week alone I have gone at it with several ‘lesser evil’ types rabidly defending the concept. So apparently conservatism has changed for a number of folks compared to what it was even 4 years ago..
“...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.
