Actually I am sure that is exactly what Judicial Watch said (sarcasm emphasized)......These NAU people take quotes out of context regularily as Michael Medved pointed out......Unfortunately conservatism without a leader like Reagan is sinking back into the fever swamp it came from in the 1950s and early 1960s, when conservatives were an embarassment.

I am not sure how many here realise it but these types of theories being bandied about by people on the right are EXTREMELY corrosive to the conservative movement.

This is what conservatism was from 1932 to about the late 1960s....It was about conspiracies, jews and how communists were on the verge of taking over America....LBJ successfully linked Goldwater to these types of rightest wackos in 1964.


It wasnt until Bill Buckley was able to seize the conservative movement away from these types that the movement began to gain respectiblity in the mid 1960s along with Reagan articulating conservatism in the late 1950s and 1960s.

The movement is in danger of going back to where it was pre-Reagan..nothing would make the liberla GOP and DEMS happier than to turn the conservative movement from a optimistic outward looking movement to a fever swamp
