Senator Flake HAS the Conscience of a Conservative

I just finished reading Senator Jeff Flake’s new book “Conscience of a Conservative.” My sincere hope is that every thinking American who believes in America and our constitutional republic will read it. We live in a time where there is so much animosity over political issues that Jeff’s warm and sincere approach to our problems is desperately needed. And, especially for those of us who consider ourselves conservatives, the admonition by Jeff for us to return to principle is a vitally important message.

Parts of Jeff’s book brought tears to my eyes, such as his comments about his father, but also, on the philosophical issues he discussed, I kept saying “yes,” “yes,” this is exactly what we need. Some comments, such as his personal confessions about his TARP vote, were not necessarily sentiments that I agreed with, but I could feel the sincerity in his remarks.

I know Senator Flake personally and worked with him professionally and I have no hesitation in saying that he is an honest man of the highest integrity and a towering figure in the realm of those who truly believe in and promote the ideas of liberty that our founding fathers based this country on. Jeff is right to say that we conservatives have recently fallen off the proper track and that we need to get the train back on the track toward liberty.
