In past elections, many people have said “I cannot tell the difference between the parties.” In some cases, this means they did not vote. The choices of the upcoming election are incredibly clear. Don’t complain that the country is polarized — celebrate it! The conservative choice is for its natural goals: limited government free enterprise […]

What is a born-again Conservative? To me, it is one who claims to be Conservative, but who in the past while in elected office supported anti-Conservative measures.
