On Friday’s Mark Levin show, There’s a reason why the Republican Party is telling us to forget about Ronald Reagan, because they aren’t conservative. The failure of the Republican Party to carry out conservative principles is not a failure of conservatism, but a failure of the Republicans. Conservatism is a way of life and not about politics per say. Politics is a manifestation of conservatism. To say that conservatism doesn’t work or that it doesn’t work because it hasn’t been tried is clearly absurd. We have a recent example within the last 40 years in Reagan. Reagan faced a much worse situation than Barack Obama in 1981. However, Reagan with his 4 point economic plan involving cutting taxes, spending reductions, anti-inflation monetary policy and massive deregulation led to enormous economic prosperity for the nation. These Republicans forget about conservative success in the past and instead are chasing Bernie Sanders’ trade positions. After that, there is an issue of globalism but it is not what the Nationalists Populists think. Globalism is not an attack on capitalism, private property rights and individualism but an attack on sovereignty. Finally, Mark Meckler calls in to discuss Article V and the Convention of States movement. Right now the Convention is experiencing opposition in Arizona and Utah. Democrats and Republicans are banding together to keep the power in Washington D.C.
