Toss government propaganda out to the curb on the next garbage day. Recognize reality for what it is without the government spin
It’s time for small-c conservatives to drop the in-fighting and to energize the fight that matters: fighting for survival in a world going socialist.
Who says so?
Commonsense.
The commonsense nurtured in today’s generation by their forbears, stored in the indomitable spirit of small-c conservatives, the only stores of it left in an upside-down world.
As anyone can tell you, things are getting depressing out there, and it‘s going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Every day, sometimes every hour there’s troubling news of yet another Big Government policy impacting individual freedom, making it all the more crucial for conservatives to stick together.

It’s good advice, but it seems like politics has injected itself in everything - weather, entertainment, sports. Even someone brought up the fact that the winner of the Kentucky Derby was Mexican, so we need more immigration.
It’s a good article, though, and I agree with it in concept.
What conservatives are infighting? What I see is liberals fighting against conservatives. The word “conservative” is not a label that one misapplies willy-nilly to one who is not one in deed and in heart.
I’d suggest that the term itself, “Conservative” is rather open to interpretation, which is what leads to a lot of in fighting. For example, take the legal pot issue. Myself, and quite a few Conservatives I know, are pro-legalization for a number of reasons. That is certainly not the case within the religious right faction of Conservatives. Is either side of the argument “less conservative”? I don’t believe so.
Infighting among whom?
“Conservative” within the context of a country’s philosophical origins is not “rather open to interpretation” except among liberals. People like Boehner, McConnell and all the rest of the RINO ilk are not conservative whatsoever; they are liberals.

PS. “Religious right” is a liberal pejorative.
Lol. I spose you're right on that, but the fact is, I don't happen to see it as such and, as it happens, I do have quite the strong respect for the 'religious right'. :)
“We’re untied. You’re knot.” :)
:P
What conservatives are in-fighting, I guess if the assumption is Rino’s are conservative than there is a point, but Rino’s are democrat operatives.
Infighting among whom?
He gave you a concrete example.
“Conservative” within the context of a country’s philosophical origins is not “rather open to interpretation” except among liberals.
I agree - that the Constitution gives the federal government no authority over intrastate pot matters is a slam dunk; and the following elements of our country’s philosophical origins indicate that even the individual states should regulate rather than ban:
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” — Thomas Jefferson
"There is, then, no possible way of defending the minority ... from the tyranny of the majority, but by giving the former a negative on the latter." - John Adams, A Defense Of The Constitutions Of Government Of The United States Of America
"It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure." - James Madison, Federalist No. 51
In other words let’s all unite behind Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jebb Bush. Only the liberal mushy middle can save the country...
