Conservatives: Take Back the GOP

Sunday Paper - January 25th, 2009

In 1962, Ronald Reagan became a Republican, saying  “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party.  The party left me.”  Unfortunately, it’s this same feeling that is stirring in the hearts of conservatives today regarding the Republican Party.  Too many of our Republican representatives have moved too far towards the center, some perhaps even left of center.  True conservatives are anxiously awaiting the emergence of a GOP leader who shares our values.  Someone like Ronald Reagan, the last true conservative President. 

As you watch and listen to Reagan (it’s an incredible speech, you won’t want it to end), please note how his words are the polar opposite of those espoused by Barack Obama.  We all need to email the link to this video to our Republican representatives as a friendly reminder of how we expect them to think and act on our behalf.  They are after all, representing us and need to remember that we pay their salaries.

(nearly 45 years ago, yet the conservative message is as relevant today as ever before)

In his article entitled, “Conservatism’s Dilemma: To be or not to be in the GOP,” author Larrey Anderson outlines the process whereby conservatives and the GOP can reconcile.
