921 - The Death of Conservatism

The Death of Conservatism - The title of a book by Sam Tanenhaus. He says moderate conservatism is being totally replaced by the radical right. He still thinks there's hope to pull most of the conservatives back towards the middle. Wouldn't that be nice.

I'm #3 on the waiting list for this book when it gets in at the local library. I'm interested to see how he thinks real conservatives - with principles rather than dogmas - can ever come back and appeal to a lapsed conservative like yours truly.

I think that there's no middle ground on either side, its either way left or way right...the middle is a vast wasteland.

Great interview, that book will have to go on my list of books to read.

I'm going to hijack this link for the few readers I have that don't stop by here.

Thanks for doing my research!
