It will take an energized and courageous conservative base prepared to literally do battle.

Since candidates who tout themselves as 'conservative' undergo a transformation as soon as they're sworn in, is it time for a legitimate third party?

As an American Conservative (and proud member of the VRWC) I know full well that if this nation doesn't get back on the right track quickly, this nation is doomed.

I've come to the conclusion that the nation needs a benevolent despot like Franco because the apparatus in D.C. comprising the entire central socialist government will NEVER allow normality to reign.

Re: “the nation needs a benevolent despot like Franco”

If we have to choose a benevolent despot, let's get one like they have in Hong Kong or Singapore.

Economically, Spain was a basket case from 1940-1960 under Franco.

It took Franco 20 years to finally embrace free markets and low taxation and create the “Spanish Miracle.”
