In "The Essence of Conservatism," Russell Kirk wrote that "a conservative is not, by definition, a selfish or a stupid person; instead, he is a person who believes there is something in our life worth saving." Conservatism is an investment in freedom, and the person that demonstrates the finest of qualities found in "The Essence of Conservatism" will help mold the future of conservatism and America.

There was one candidate who did not display any moderateness or liberalism or have any of his past forays into those areas displayed, and that candidate was Fred Thompson.......Thompson has as good a chance as any to win, and if he does, conservatives have an opportunity to have a platform that is fresh, new, and inspiring. Even if the man does not inspire you, the ideas are strong enough for inspiration among true conservatives who believe it is past time to reduce the size of the federal government. Thompson was right, all along, and Rush Limbaugh recognizes that. - Rush Limbaugh

Good Post!
I proudly donate to Fred’s campaign, have a Fred Thompson 2008 bumper sticker and talk up Fred whenever I can. I also post negative remarks about Hillary on various sites that discuss such things - have yet to get one of my posts to appear on a NYT comment section however.
We have to keep the faith in Fred!

I’ve not seen the quote you used before [second part of it, that Fred has as good a chance as any to win]. Did Rush say that at the same time as the first part of your quote? I missed it if he did. Or is it something you said, about what Rush said?
I might want to use that and it would be nice to get the quote right [attribution].

This candidate, Senator Fred Thompson, has exhibited those qualities of conservatism since before his election to the U.S. Senate in 1994. He took those principles in 1994, turning a deficit of twenty points down in the polls to a twenty point margin of victoryan example of what conservatism can do.
A similar case for conservatism can be found in Sacramento in 1984, when a radio host introduced a local audience to conservative values, launching him to national prominence on his way to become THE conservative voice in America today. That man was Rush Limbaugh, brandishing a fiery conservative sword to excise liberalism as if he were a surgeon removing a parasite.
