As a baby boomer, I’ve been going through some serious nostalgia lately for some of the great people who really understood what our republic is (should be) all about.
Thank you for the important link.

I’m a student of Benson Politics. I have many quotes from his book “The Red Carpet: Socialism the Royal Road to Communism” on my blog in the right column. Check out my blog on “How conservatives hurt their own cause” in the right column. Let me know what you think…any suggestions?
