Speaking of Dr. Keyes, how do you think he would have felt about someone with Goldwater's pro-abortion tendencies being a Republican frontrunner, if he were around today?

Goldwater knew, the math is simple. Conservatives can make an impact within the Republican party and can even control it if they work hard enough.

We can do nothing standing alone.

Let's grow up conservatives.

Conservatives can make an impact within the Republican party and can even control it if they work hard enough.

Yeah. That's it. Those damn lazy conservatives not working hard enough.

With rare exception, the precincts are conservative, Constitutionalist and Christian. With rare exception, the state organizations are conservative, Constitutionalist and Christian (read the Texas GOP platform sometime). At the national level, there is the Republican Liberty Caucus.

The RNC is controlled by the mushy moderates in the Senate and the same executive branch Keynesians who've been around since Gerald Ford. The paleo's and libertarians have been sounding the alarm for years that the Republic is dying from bloated government and net tax consumption. Meanwhile the Republican Senate and Republican President debate whether to give the Department of Education $200 billion or $210 billion.

Rome is burning, and the GOP is fiddling.
