My first vote was for Nixon. My grandparents voted against FDR. My uncle passed away at 101 in 1998. He campaigned for Coolidge. My older uncles drove from CT to the Cow Palace in 1964. From your screen name, I assume you know people who died fighting marxists. I do not see why the conservative movement needs redemption. We're been fighting liberals, socialists, communists, Rockerfeller Republicans, Country club Republicans, RINOs or whatever else anyone wants to call them for decades.
Things look good to me today. You probably remember when Democrats had more of a majority in the House than the GOP had seats, when country club republicans were more powerful than they are now and when taking the House was a pipe dream. The conservative movement hasn't achieved as much as I would like but it doesn't need to apologize for itself.
Glen Beck is a bit of an arrogant ass.
The Republican Party is our ONLY hope!
YES, the GOP must stay true to our principles, but -— there is no other organization capable of saving this country.
The GOP needs the help of conservatives, of all stripes.
In fact, getting involved, in Republican Primary campaigns, and running for precinct office, YOURSELF, is the best way to insure a Conservative victory!
