ALEXANDRIA, VA - Media Research Center President Brent Bozell has issued the following statement regarding Paul Weyrich's passing:
"Paul
Weyrich was a foundational pillar of the modern conservative
movement. He was a leader, a patriot and a friend, with an
unwavering conscience that held fast to traditional values in good
times and bad. Even as Republican leaders vacillated on issues like
taxes, abortion and government spending, Paul never wavered, and
when he admonished those leaders - even presidents among them - he
spoke for legions of conservatives across America. He was a man of
principle who not only stood firmly on the ground of conservatism,
but who took giant strides to advance and spread these values in the
public square and in the hearts of countless Americans. The fruits
of Paul's labor will continue to flourish, and the words of his
namesake - St. Paul of Tarsus - were never more true: Paul Weyrich
fought the good fight, he finished the course, and he always kept
the faith."
