[John Valentine]

The loyalists also feared the “madness of the multitude,” the violence and anarchy of rebellion and the possible despotism of an American Caesar........They still do, although now, the Conservatives are feared

Say what?

Conservatives feared by Loyalists? The Loyalists ARE the Conservatives.

What Loyalists i.e. Conservatives fear and have always feared is The Mob.

In other words, Democrats.

My point:
For 40 years (1932-1994) DEMOCRATS held Congress. They forced Republican Presidents to foillow their line. They drove out people who tried to keep America free of Communists and traitors(Joe McCarthy and Oliver North)
They passed information to the communists (Verified by Ann Coulter in the book TREASON)
Now they are saying we have to go back to their ways.

Conservatives feared by Loyalists? The Loyalists ARE the Conservatives.

The Loyalists were the clients of the English Aristocracy. They swore alligence to the King.

Conservatives swear alligence to no king. They are FREEMEN and will die for freedom.

It's no accident that this forum is called FREE REPUBLIC.

Read 'Born Fighting' for a primer on freedom and the founding of America.

This a common misconception (stereotype).. And at one time it was true. The Jacksonian democrats migrated in mass from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party during the Reagan presidency. They were called "Reagan Democrats".

Now the Republican Party is the party of the common man.
