Young People Count

Today, in the middle of the inside the park fights about youth wing vs. no youth wing, something is lost.

Young people count, and we seem to have forgotten about that. It's a shame really. Here are some examples of some young people have done:

1. Young Americans for Freedom drafted Barry Goldwater to run for President. (And those who know me, know that I believe it was Barry Goldwater who changed the United States forever.)

2. A young Bill Buckley started the Conservative Party of New York.

3. A young Mario Dumont started the only party in Quebec worth voting for.

4. A young Floyd Brown lead the protest against Communist China in Washington DC. (He ended up getting arrested and the United States ended up chaning its policy.)

Anyway, young people can do a lot. It's a shame that the argument in our party has become one of youth wing vs. no youth wing. There is so much more to this debate. (I supported the Young Wing idea, but I also note that YAF didn't need any recognition from the Republican Party.)
