Quote:Courageous is his narrative.  "You conservatives are being persecuted, but you can stand up for your rights!"

Quote:It's already catching on with the base on here I see.

Quote:I don't have a problem with him calling for "courageous conservatives" much of the conservative problem has been their desire to cowardice to moderate/liberal positions. Cruz is a conservative he's simply telling his base it's time to grow a spine and show contrast to the moderates. Personally I'd prefer a courageous conservative, one that admits policies like the "War on drugs", "Foreign Intervention", and "Defense of Marriage" are all excessive abuses by the state and infringe on individual liberty.

 

Conservatism is under "attack" in today's political atmosphere, problem is it's often under attack by those who claim the name of conservative themselves.
