Dean Cain Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Pretty honest assessment: "Indeed, Republicans’ silence on the matter of Eisenhower’s legacy says volumes about how far the party has come since his day. Rather than claim ownership over his legacy, they have abandoned it entirely, to the detriment of their party and their country." "The conservative movement that has taken over the GOP was nursed on hatred of Eisenhower’s moderation." http://www.newrepublic.com/article/politics/101442/dwight-eisenhower-memorial-controversy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like the liberal who goes to the Tea Party rally and calls for the death of abortion doctors in order to try to give the Tea Party a bad name. These guys periodically come around PPP and think they can pull off this schit. Amateurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an opinion either way on your assertions about the poster; however I will point out that he's not wrong on this front. Eisenhower was the last truely conservative president we've had.

No. Thats a pretty standard, simplistic retort that been tried many, many times against my posts. they are offered mainly because, it is likely that many posters here have not read them, in your particular case, read to them, you can absorb them or not, it makes no difference to me. .

3rdnlng Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I would encourage you to reach out to Colin Powell, or Condi Rice. Didn't you mean to say "my fellow conservative, I would encourage you to reach out to Colin Powell or Condi Rice"? You see, you must keep calling yourself a conservative so we who really are will get your point that Colin Powell is a true conservative that voted for Obama because of his conservatism.

Any article that posits that political preferance is on a line, rather than an x/y axis, is bunk anyhow. Additionally all of our leadership today, both Republican and Democrat, profile as economically leftist statists when compared to Eisenhower.
