Obit

Paul Weyrich

Paul's death yesterday received only a dribble of the fanfare his life accomplishments warranted .   Leftist democrats hated Paul.  I know this, if Weyrich's vision was still ascendant in the GOP, there's no way John McCain is the nominee in 2008.   There's no way the GOP is standing around pulling their collective puds while the Al Frankens and ACORNS rob banks in broad daylight.  A truly great man.  Here's the beginning of Carter Clews's Personal Remembrance. “ Paul Weyrich died this morning. For those who never knew Paul, let that serve as a prologue to a story I hope you’ll retell many times for countless years to come. To those who did know Paul, it will likely serve as the final chapter in a story that changed the way we all lived. For the better. Hopefully for eons to come.  The obituaries will tell you that Paul was a “conservative thinker, writer and commentator.” That’s how MSNBC put it. And, as far as it goes, it’s not bad. He was all of that. And so much more. Paul Weyrich was a founding father of the modern conservative movement in America. [cont] ”
