It's a juvenile question.
It has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the thread's topic!
The talk of "bloody revolution" a la Claire Wolf is FORBIDDEN to be posted to FR!
JFK was more conservative, in some ways, than today's Dems, but he was NOT a CONSERVATIBVE! Neither was he a capable president in any way, shape, manner, or form.
A REAL Reagan Republican isn't a fringer at all. The problem is, far too few here actually know just WHAT Reagan did and did NOT do. The myths about him and his presidency, being typed to FR, are ridiculous and disgusting.
Is Newt out of line about WHAT specifically?
"We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years.
The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.
The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington."
