I really don't believe there are any conservatives in government.

None like Barry Goldwater. We will see his like no more. He could not get elected today. About half of our society is pro government. A third are receptive to governmental solutions, and a fifth are conservative. I consider myself in the latter fifth and don't believe the left will loose until they have won and failed.

We have become a "Matronized" country, run by old biddies like Hillary, Boxer, Feinstein along with their "Mamma's Boy" followers like Bill Clinton, Gray Davis and Al Gore. Even our President rides the range on is "ranch" in a pickup truck instead of horseback.

The Goldwater's and the Reagan's have all past on, not to be seen anymore. We are the richer for their having been here, but the poorer for not finding their worthy successors.

You think JFK, with his commitment to tax cuts and strong national defense, could get elected today either? He would be a pretty far right conservative by today's mainstream standards.
