A Time for Choosing

Some critics of the conservative movement, who say WE are trying to redefine ourselves, have a very limited understanding of who WE really are. WE are not the Republicans who hold political office in Washington D.C. THEY may be trying to redefine themselves, but WE are not.

THEY may have walked away from conservatism in an effort to make themselves more appealing to moderates, independents, democrats, minorities, etc., but WE have not.

THEY may have walked away from their conservative values, but WE have not.

THEY may be lost, but WE are not.

Our political leaders have abandoned US, their conservative constituents, and THEY no longer represent US or our beliefs.

WE are the true standard bearers of conservatism, THEY are not.

Ronald Reagan was truly the last, great conservative leader. He understood what it meant to be a conservative. He understood what was necessary to make this country great and WE, the citizens of the conservative movement, await the day when another true conservative leader will emerge to take the lead and represent us on the national stage...may that be Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, or another.

With that in mind, here is a video of a speech given by Ronald Reagan in 1964...yes...I said 1964. Although this video is almost forty-five years old, the message still holds true today. The liberals of 1964 are no different than the liberals of 2009...except that they have a lot more power and the ability to enact their agenda without any hindrance...and the conservatives of 1964 are no different than the conservatives of 2009...except that WE have very few representatives in Washington D.C. Pay close attention and you will understand that nothing has really changed over the past forty-four plus years.
