I guarantee you that:
1. If you are a student you do not understand American Conservatism. The nonsense you have gotten from professors and the elite media culture is just that, nonsense.
2. If you have any interest in politics at all you will learn more in the following speeches than you would receive in two semesters of any political science class.
Rush Limbaugh on who conservatives are, what conservatism is and why, and dealing with critics. Folks this is a speech that no one should miss. Rush starts out with a few jokes to break the ice and then gets very serious (transcript HERE):
Wayne LaPierre on dealing with Congress, dealing with CNN, gun policy, and international affairs :
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on a variety of subjects such as Obama’s broken policies, how the poor and middle class are also under attack by the government and the power of ideas.
