Mr. Forrest was an enemy to the Republic,

And Mr. Sherman was an enemy to the Confederacy. Your point?

...do not think that confederate ideology is the future of conservative thought in America in the 21st century.

The Confederate constitution, while closely resembling the U.S. version, contained certain changes to which 21st-century conservatives might be favorably disposed: term limits; a congressional super-majority requirement to pass spending or taxation bills; a requirement that the title of each legislative bill must accurately describe its contents; no riders were allowed to be attached to a bill. And acknowledgment of God in the Preamble.
