Mr. Vance, would you say conservatism, and I'm afraid that people think of it this way now, is that conservatism is something to stop progressivism of liberal democracy? People don't understand that conservatism actually is a, in a nutshell, it's its own encapsulated way of thinking and approach for government.

I think that's right.

And the terms have changed over the decades, over the centuries, even.

I mean, in the very beginning, the Republican Party was the progressive party in this country when it was founded.

There was the Democrats who wanted to conserve the status quo, including a very limited federal government and states' rights to the point that they allowed slavery, no federal involvement in the economy.

It was Republicans who wanted to use the power of government to elevate the little guy with land-grant universities and building the transcontinental railroad and, of course, ending slavery so that small landowners could compete against giant slaveholders.

I mean, Lincoln was motivated to a large degree because he saw what happened to his father who couldn't compete with the big slave-owning plantations.

If people are interested in your group, if you are in the state of Alabama, wink, wink, how would you go about connecting with Our Republican Legacy in the Republican Party?
