Learning from Conservative Warriors like Mr. Paul Weyrich!

Conservative Warrior Mr. Paul Weyrich who is the founder or co-founder of many of today’s premier conservative organizations in Washington, DC, including the Heritage Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), Free Congress Foundation, Coalitions for America, American Conservative Union to name a few. Mr. Weyrich was also the founder of the pre-Fox News news network, many former NET veterans, like Mr. Major Garrett, Mr. Bob Novak and Col. Oliver North can be seen on Fox News.

Back in the 1990s Mr. Weyrich seeing the void of conservatives in the mainstream news media created the NET- Political News Talk Network. This network was carried on Dish Network and a variety of cable systems around the country. When NET was created there was no talk radio like it is today, there was only Rush Limbaugh. Mr. Weyrich created NET to show case conservatives values.

Mr. Weyrich was conservative back before conservatism was cool. Mr. Weyrich was a key player in the Sen. Goldwater race of 1964 along with other prominent Conservatives like Mr. Morton Blackwell, Mr. William F. Buckley, Mr. Bob Krieble, Mr. Howie Phillips, Mr. Richard Viguerie, Mr. David Keene to name a few.

These leaders shaped the Conservative movement. It is there leadership that gave us President Reagan; It is their leadership that won the “cold war”; It is their leadership that gave us the Contract with America; It is their leadership that allowed Conservatives to take the Senate and House in 1994; It is their leadership that holds moderate Republicans feet to the fire when they stray from the Ideals of Reagan – Goldwater.

It is time for our generation of Conservatives and pickup the mantel from these Conservative Warriors and carries the ball forward. I don’t care how many spineless squishes in congress feel that Conservatism is dead. No, Conservatism doesn’t die nor does it change with time. What was right fifty years ago is still right today! Conservatism isn’t a fad nor is it whim. We leave the whims and fads to the Liberals who seem to have a new opinion depending on the time of the year.

Liberals have supported Slavery when it was politically expedient; they have supported segregation when it was politically expedient; they have opposed segregation when it was politically expedient; they have supported Israel when it was expedient; they opposed Israel when it was expedient; They supported communism when it was expedient; They opposed it when it was expedient;

Conservatives on the other hand Opposed Slavery when it wasn’t the expedient thing to do, Opposed Segregation when it wasn’t the expedient thing to do; Opposes Communism when it wasn’t the expedient thing to do; Supported Israel in good times and bad; We fought for freedom and Democracy when no one else would take a stand Conservatives took the tough stance.

If our predessors were able to gain victory after victory for Conservative Values and Principles without the aides of Talk Radio, Fox News, the Internet and mentors such as the previously mentioned, it is our obligation to not to become complacent with Conservatism and buy into the moderate agenda of Conservatism is Dead.

Once more Conservatism was right on the money 150 years ago and it is right on the money now and in another 150 years it will still be right on the Money!
