Is the Reagan Revolution Over?

After the recent election of Barrack Obama there have been certain people proclaiming that the era of Reagan is over. I tend to disagree with professor West and others with his train of thought. The Reagan revolution did not end with the election of Barrack Obama. The conservative moment became divided and lost the horse it was riding on to people like John McCain, who were not truly conservative, but tried to give the appearance of being conservative, in hopes of gaining the White House.

Not only was the conservative moment betrayed by John McCain, but our current President, George W. Bush, and the Republican Congress also betrayed the movement, by boosting spending of taxpayer money to new heights and by wanting to allow illegal immigrants a free pass into this country.

The conservative movement will once again demonstrate its power when the Republicans are bold and daring enough to get a "true conservative" like Sarah Palin onto the top of the ticket. People like Palin are the ones who are able to "stir" the base of the party, which is made up of religious and social conservatives. For what Ronald Reagan believed is still what the base believes in. Lower taxes, a strong military defense, pro-life, a belief that America is still the greatest nation in the world, these are some of the things that Reagan espoused and believed.

Though the conservative movement did not surface as I had hoped it would in this past election cycle, I am confident that it will find itself again and will resurface in the upcoming election cycle. At that point what will professor West have to say when he sees the Reagan values once again trump the current leftists policies. For you see professor West, the values of Reagan are not something that are man made, they are something that is put into the hearts of man by our Creator and they are not just going to fade away.

If you are interested in knowing what Reagan believed in this link will give you more understanding. One more link that I am enclosing is from Hannity's America that might interest you.
