You could always post your conservative credentials but then you don't have any, do you?

Well I don't believe that Jefferson Davis is a beaux ideal of a Republican, which puts me at odds with you right from the start. So whatever I post will not meet your criteria of a conservative and as a result the entire exercise is pointless. The fact that I campaigned for Reagan in Illinois or am a former Republican committeeman in Kansas will carry no weight with you because I'm also not a high tax or big intrusive government guy like Jeff Davis was. So considering that there is absolutely nothing I can say without lying that would convince you I'm a conservative then as I said earlier I'm just going to have to live with the disappointment.

Well, your concerns about Jeff Davis wh was launching a noble enterprise which had start up costs don't seem to extend to the man who massacred the Constitution and several hundred thousand Americans to enact what were UNCONSTITUTIONAL income tax and draft in the north. Unless you have some provision of the Confederate constitution that Jeff Davis allegedly violated, there is no vilolation by him. The entire civil war was predicated on the preposterous (and murderus) notion of Lincoln and his sycophants that a state could vote dozens of times to reject membership in the union but later still join the union but that a state that had once ratfied the constitution had exhausted for all time its optons and was therefater condemened to be in the union regardless of the dsires of the state or its people (See Amendment X for proof to the contrary).

Nancy Landon Kassebaum was an execrable US Senator from Kansas so that counts for no more than my having been a Republican party official in Connecticut afflicted by Lowell Weicker. Now if you did to Kassebaum the sorts of things I did to Weicker, that would be a different story. If you were a contemorary of Virgil Dechant on the Kansas GOP State Committee and an ally of his that would count for a lot more. If you campaigned for Reagan in Illinois, that's fine. Does that outweigh support for Lincoln, civil war, income tax, draft, ignoring the plain provisions of the constitution? Well probably not. Keep trying though.

I'll raise your efforts by having been a state chairman and regional representative of Young Americans for Freedom, state chairman and National Executive Committee member of the Young Republicans, state chairman and National Commitee member of College Repubicans, attorney for NRA members arrested in Connecticut, attorney for 1100 people arrested in pro-life activity in Connecticut and Reagan's state chairman in 1976, the year he challenged Ford. More available on request.

Jeff Davis was not perfect. Neither were Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, J.E.B. Stuart or any number of Southern leaders but each was a damn sight better man than Lincoln and a lot closer to Republican principles as we know them today.

This exercise is NOT pointless. The point which you concede is that you would have to lie to prove yourself conservative which means that you are, ummmm, as liberal as your hero Lincoln.

AND NOW THE SPELLING CORRECTED VERSION OF #191:
