As I stated earlier, I've been a conservative as far as I know, all my life. Who among us can be called a "new conservative" ? Am I reading something new here ? I am not a native Georgian, however the esteemed and well regarded Senator from Georgia, one Richard Russell once stated the his party (democratic) had left him, he had not left his party. This was when he was voting with the conservative republicans in the Senate.The South has always been conservative in their beliefs. When the democrats were a more conservatively based party, the South always voted in that manner. As our retired distinguised senator, Zell Miller wrote in his most revealing book "A National party no more" (Of course, he was speaking of his democratic party). He was and I suppose still is a "democrat", but of a deep conservative mind set.
NEOCON, another oxymoron, "Mr D" ?
