Former LA Gov. Dave Treen, RIP
A year and a half ago at this site, I posted this in tribute to Dave Treen, who died this morning at 81. This morning I made three more posts at the American Spectator blog. Southern conservatives should say a prayer this morning in memory of and thanks to Treen. He put himself on the line again and again, often rather quixotically, to help build a Republican Party, dedicated to conservative ideals, in a South where almost nobody was a Republican and where conservative Dems were often either racist or corrupt or both. Of such people, too often unheralded, is history changed for the better. May he rest in God’s good grace and peace.
Thanks for posting about Dave Treen. On the left, we salute him as a decent, compassionate man.
I’m neither Southern or Republican, but I wish him peace. Addio.
