MoveOn for conservatives?
by Bill Berkowitz


Fueled with Silicon Valley money, longtime conservative activist Rod Martin's 'TheVanguard.org' intends to carry the 'revolution forward'

The history of the modern conservative movement -- circa 1964 to the present -- is replete with its share of hucksters, snake oil salesman, rhetoricians, sexual deviants, mudslingers, marketers and one-hit wonders. But it also has had more than its fair share of visionaries, opportunists (in the best sense of that word), motivated entrepreneurs, perhaps even revolutionaries.

Rod Martin, the founder and head of a new conservative organization called TheVanguard.org -- linking Silicon Valley entrepreneurship with ideological zeal -- appears to consider himself a conservative revolutionary for the twenty-first century.

To carry the "revolution forward" -- a slogan featured on the group's website -- Martin, a Silicon Valley-seasoned entrepreneur and political activist, has launched TheVanguard.org.

In 1964, after the overwhelming defeat of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, a group of men -- white, youngish, and energetic -- "seized the time" -- to borrow a phrase from the left in the 1960s.
