Essendo sempre stato fin da giovanissimo d’ac- cordo con le minoranze e spesse volte quindi diven- tato critico della democrazia, accettai subito e mi provai a stabilire su quali basi si poteva seriamente fondare l’ideale di un conservatore al tempo nostro. Ma quando ebbi esaminato il problema dal punto di vista semantico, filosofico, biologico, sociologico, storico, politico, e trovato fra tutti una certa concor- danza, pensai che forse al pubblico sarebbe stata più interessante una storia personale del mio, per dire così, pensiero politico. Andai a rovistare in giornali, in riviste e in libri ed accumulai molti appunti e ritagli e vidi che met- tendoli in fila uno dopo l’altro mi annoiavo. Pensai, allora, di divertirmi commentando quei tentativi miei di comprendere e di agire sul mondo politico nel quale mi sono trovato, e li intramezzai di ricordi, di aneddoti, di panorami, tutti schizzati alla svelta. Lo mandai e piacque all'Editore, che era stato soddisfatto di un mio libro che tocca il problema della politica (Cristo e/o Machiavelli), lo lesse in ab- bozzo e m'invitò a pubblicarlo in volume. Eccolo qui. 3 4 Parte prima 1. SEMANTICA DELLA PAROLA «CONSERVAZIONE» Userò il termine di «conservatori» invece di quello di «destra», perché il nome di «destra» ha soltanto un significato di luogo, ed è accidentale.

The coalition Goldwater helped constitute among libertarians, traditionalists, and anticommunists would dominate American politics for several decades. By 2008, however, the cracks in this edifice had become apparent, and the future of the movement was in clear jeopardy. That year, Ron Paul’s campaign text The Revolution: A Manifesto appeared, offering a broad vision of “freedom” strikingly similar to that of Goldwater, but differing in certain key ways. This book was an effort to reconstitute the conservative movement by expelling the hawkish descendants of the anticommunists and depicting the noninterventionist views of pre-Cold War conservatives like Robert Taft as the “true” conservative position.

His son, Jimmy, also became an officer in the Navy McCain in training (1965) As the U.S. began to increase the number of troops in Vietnam in 1965, McCain was training to become a fighter pilot. On October 26, 1967, his A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a missile as he was flying over Hanoi. He was badly injured when he was pulled from Truc Bach Lake by North Vietnamese. Shot Down McCain’s bomber was hit by a surface-to-air missile on Oct. 26, 1967, destroying the aircraft’s right wing. According to McCain, the plane entered an “inverted, almost straight-down spin,” and he ejected. But the sheer force of the ejection broke his right leg and both arms, knocking him unconscious, the report said. McCain came to as he landed in a lake, but burdened by heavy equipment, he sank straight to the bottom. Able to kick to the surface momentarily for air, he somehow managed to activate his life preserver with his teeth.

STILL A ROCK PARTY In the 2000 film The Contender, Senator Lane Hanson, por- trayed by Joan Allen, explains what catalyzed her switch from the Grand Old Party ("GOP") to the Democratic side of the aisle. During her dramatic Senate confirmation hearing for vice-presi- dent, she laments that "The Republican Party had shifted from the ideals I cherished in my youth." She lists those cherished ideals as "a woman's right to choose, taking guns out of every home, campaign finance reform, and the separation of church and state." Although this statement reflects Hollywood's usual penchant for oversimplification, her point con- cerning the recession of moderation in Republican ranks is still ap- ropos.

  • BARACK OBAMA by Wayne Allyn Root This Is the Most Important Column I've Ever Written
    MEET THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BARACK OBAMA By Wayne Allyn Root This is the most important column I've ever written This is my chance to play the modern-day version of Paul Revere. "The commies are coming, The commies are coming." Yes, I am re- porting a communist takeover. The leader of this attack is not whom it appears to be. Republicans, conservatives, patriots, and capitalists are sick right about now. We're in shock. We can't believe Trump isn't president, We can't believe Americans voted against the greatest economy, perhaps in history, and the greatest jobs picture ever, and the greatest improvement in middle-class incomes ever. And after the covid lockdown and economic collapse, Trump reduced the greatest economic comeback ever. Remember 33% GDP in Q3 2020? That was the biggest number in history. Who would vote against all that? You'd have to be self- hating and suicidal. We also can't believe America voted for a feeble old man with dementia who mumbles "I don't know what I'm signing, but I'm gonna sign these Executive Orders." Even though he got his two vaccine shots before he became president. We all believe the election was rigged and stolen. We all know the feeble old man now called "President" would be more at home in an assisted living home than the White House. That man can't be our new president. I have news for my fellow conservative, Republicans, capitalists, and patriots. Biden's not the president. He's a puppet.
