Was a time, in my own personal memory, that a Republican wasn't required to swear fealty to a patently un-American ideology. Proud Democratic partisan that I am, I'm a bit nostalgic for those days, back when Dan Evans tossed the Birchers out of the WA GOP, and Rocky had a voice and a following in Republican ranks.

I'm not sure there's a viable return to legitimacy in the Republican future, but its existence in the past is evidence that it's possible, I suppose. Until then, like I always say sometimes...
