Ronald Reagan said, “A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.”
As usual, President Reagan was correct. It doesn’t make sense that so many in the present leadership of the GOP ignore the wisdom of the most successful conservative politician of modern times, until we realise that a lot of them are not conservatives. If they’re not liberals in sheeps clothing, they’re opportunists and careerists.
