Conservative Quote by Joseph Befumo
““One difficulty we face today is the fact that the Republicrat faction that portrays itself as ‘conservative’ is anything but. While the term ‘neoconservative’ has been used to differentiate these criminal posers from true Conservatives, the distinction is too frequently lost in the heat of contrived rhetorical battle.””
