Same Song, Different Verse

There are some that have said that the Conservative Movement is dead. That the Age of Reagan lasted from 1974 to 2008. The interview Hannity did with Newt a few days after McCain's nomination has creeped back into my mind periodically and, now, pesters me to present my thoughts.

Earlier today I laid out the question "Is Conservatism Dead?" on Google. The top few results said, more or less, no...then my eyes dropped to the 'great' Daily Kos (for those that don't know, Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly Kos sessions/publications are horribly sociofascitic to the point of being what one can objectively call Marxist-Leninist).

I do read the Daily Kos once in awhile to get the deformed and fragmented 'scoop' on what the far-left is doing in and to our country. This particular article tosses with 'educated' language a bunch of radical statements attempting to cookie-cutter separate the Movement.

Fascists like the Kos writers like to vainly 'analyze' the Conservative Movement and classify it into 'trends' and 'influences.' Fascists like the Kos writers think that the essence of Conservatism is a conglomeration of political expedients and like individuals (basing their analysis on race, class, faith, and political locale...all of which they deny but one can easily see it).

The facts are that the essence of Conservatism is not something that can be done away with. Conservatism is morality. It is love. It is equality. It is the belief in the one, true God. Conservatism is freedom. The Fascists think if they can politicize what conservatism is, than they can destroy it.

The Nazis and Communists tried this...politicizing of everything from food to religion. Where did it get them? They were thrown onto the ash heap of history by free people everywhere. No matter how many dark days Conservatism saw, it always has risen up to throw off the oppressors. No matter if the darkness lasts for 8 years as in the Wilson administration's case or if it lasts 700 years as with the Scots: Freedom and Justice always bounce back.

What we see today is the same, melodic song of Conservatism, just in a different, softer verse. Reagan said, "I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph." We just have to commit ourselves to playing ever louder.
