There’s no crying in politics. Roll up your shirtsleeves and get to work! And Give ‘em Hell!
We certainly need new leadership. It will also come from the cavalry!

We are a large portion of this society, which is not militant, not advocates of violence, or hate or intolerance (especially when directed against us). We are the silent majority who can ill afford to be silent any longer.

We have stood by and watched our education system fail our children. We have hoped that illegal immigration would be turned back at a secure border. We have prayed that our elected officials would see the immediate needs of the masses, not the special interests, and do the right things.

We have been passed by, disappointed and ignored by those who have taken the seats of power in our state and national capitals.

But of the many things we aren’t, there are some which stand in glaring contrast to those who wish to remake our country. We aren’t the ones who shout down opposing views or force speakers from stages, we aren’t revisionist historians who shower praise upon former adversaries while demeaning the contributions of Americans, we aren’t the ones who damage and destroy buildings, vehicles and infrastructure to demonstrate their contempt for our way of life, we aren’t the ones who have a different set of values depending on which audience they are in front of, and we aren’t the ones who invade places of worship in order to make political statements about lifestyles or world crisis.

There is a common bond which runs through hundreds of thousands of households across this nation. Whether you are Republican, Democrat, or Independent, we share innate beliefs which are not limited to morality, independence, self reliance and drive to succeed in what ever we choose to do
to either improve our personal circumstance or the betterment of others.
These beliefs and personal truths make us who we are. We are proud to be Americans. We do not shy away from reflecting upon our shortcomings, but we prefer to proclaim the good of this nation and we as a people.

We Conservatives are an Army, we are not an underground to be kept in the
shadows for fear of being outed as a radical. We are not in exile, we are here, we are now and we are on the march.

What we do, we do for the good of the nation, so that this great experiment may continue to thrive and be to the rest of the world a haven for the oppressed, the opportunity for the enterprising, and the defender against tyranny, dictators and other despots across the globe.

Within each of us, there is this thread, this continuity. Regardless of race, religion, gender, or any other label those who oppose us use to divide, we share the seed of freedom which for most of us was planted in our subconscious at an early age. It is not indoctrination, but rather education of those principals in life which will shape how we see ourselves and our country. “From our Fathers and Mothers, To our Brothers and Sisters, For our Sons and Daughters” do not be made to feel that you are somehow in an Underground, or in Exile.

Get informed, Get Involved and proudly proclaim to all who you encounter that you are part of the Conservative Army, and you are fighting for their rights as well as your own. Don’’t apologize, don’’t cower, and don’’t let anyone tell you that being a conservative makes you anything other than what you know you are.

In a state like this, we CAN buck the party leadership and get a conservative through the primary.

I just reserve the right to cross over and vote against any liberal who runs as a Republican. And I will, every time.

And I think you are making a colossal, stupid mistake by supporting those type of people, even if you do fight them in the primary.

We will NEVER go forward with those type of saboteurs among our elected officials. And I don’t know how you cannot just look at the history and see that I am right about that.

Any GOP politician that would condone this is dead to me.

Seems funny you mentioned rules for radicals, I just started re reading it.

Mine That Bird reminds me of the time I was at a track and a horse was charging up from behind, and the announcer was overwhelmed with the moment, shouting, “And here comes Dapper Dan, running OVER horses!”.

Mine That Bird is one helluva horse – I have never seen any horse with a drive down the stretch twice like that, and you are exactly right in pointing out the obstacles he faced in the Preakness. He is a lock in the Belmont.

The last I was aware, we are all adults and we have the same goal here: To find people to represent us fully that support our beliefs and ideals for what we want this country to be as opposed to what it currently is.

Something is missing here.

Second, I don’t think I understand what you mean here? It sounds antagonistic to me, but I don’t think that’s how you meant it?

Kidding!!

If we accept that, all things being equal then (ZERO)…. it is still our opinion that our strategy is better suited toward getting Conservative power than copying RINOs and voting with somebody else….. We absolutely WILL NOT ever come to agreement on the appropriate strategy. Some of us are, at least, within the Party in a position to push for the change while others try to pound on the door screaming “If you’d all only change I’d come back!” — In our opinion… the way WE (those advocating work within) see it….

People running to Libertarian and the next Perot will yeild the same Zero results it has in the past, and I still contend it was/is us “stay inside” folks (when many left because 41 wasn’t Conservative enough, and yet more because 41 lost because the Party wasn’t Conservative enough – history repeats with the abandon the Party to change the Party concept) that shaped/made the Republican Revolution…. History will repeat again, as we insiders will over-come the others INSIDE the party that haven’t gotten it yet… I know others cannot allow that basic truth to be accepted!
