Some Southern nationalists believe such a party isn viable and think our best hope is sticking with the Republican party. Why isn this possible?
The 1998 elections very well may be remembered as the swan song of authentic conservatism within the Republican party. In the aftermath of these elections, Republicans have undertaken a wholesale abandonment of everything Southern traditionalists hold dear, namely standing on principle by eliminating quotas and set-asides, defending the Second Amendment, halting immigration and, broadly speaking, reducing the role of the federal government and offering a viable alternative to the dominant culture of liberalism. On all counts, the Republican party has failed miserably. Even more important, is it realistic to believe such a party even would be receptive to a pro-Southern faction advocating a return to states rights and strictly limited government? If the shabby treatment meted out during the last two elections to Pat Buchanan and his followers is any indication, Southern traditionalists should expect very little from the GOP.
