In The Room With Lee Edwards And The Greatest Generation Of Conservatism

Thomas Spence, The Federalist

Now consider this: When Lee Edwards and Richard Viguerie and the others answered the

call, they were on their own. Apart from a couple of fledgling journals, the conservative movement had no means of spreading its message, training its foot soldiers, developing and promoting credible policies, or doing anything else that a successful political movement does. They had to build everything. And they did. We owe them gratitude.
