On Monday my dear friend and longtime collaborator Ed Feulner was laid to rest following a Mass of Christian Burial at The Basilica of St. Mary in Alexandria, Virginia. In honor of his memory and contributions to our country and the conservative movement ConservativeHQ presents Part Two of our three-part video tribute to Mr. Feulner.
I’ve written extensively over the years about the importance of conservatives acting as a Third Force in American politics and no memorial to Ed Feulner would properly document his contributions to the conservative movement without mentioning that he, and the Heritage Foundation, were among the original conservative “third force” groups that were a key part
of Reagan’s victory and the building of the 1980 Reagan coalition.
The individuals associated with the rise of the New Right— Ed Feulner, Bill Armstrong, Morton Blackwell, Joe Coors, Phil Crane, Terry Dolan, Bob Dornan, Tom Ellis, Jerry Falwell, Newt Gingrich, Ron Godwin, Jesse Helms, Gordon Humphrey, Woody Jenkins, Roger Jepson, Tim and Beverley LaHaye, Ed MacAteer, Connie Marshner, Larry McDonald, Larry Pratt, Howard Phillips, H. L. “Bill” Richardson, Pat Robertson, James Robison, Phyllis Schlafly, Mike Valerio, Bob Walker (both the congressman and the former Reagan aide), Jim Watt, Vin Weber, Paul Weyrich, Carter Wren, and the groups they developed to educate, activate, and energize voters—weren’t mere appendages of the national Republican Party or the Washington political establishment they forged a new path for conservatives independent of the old Republican establishment.
