American Conservatism (El Rushbo Says Conservatives Stronger Than Liberals Imagine Alert)
Opinionjournal.com ^ | 10/17/05 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 10/16/2005 9:35:57 PM PDT by goldstategop

The Miers nomination shows the strength of the conservative movement. This is no "crackup." It's a crackdown. We conservatives are unified in our objectives. And we are organized to advance them. The purpose of the Miers debate is to ensure that we are doing the very best we can to move the nation in the right direction. And when all is said and done, we will be even stronger and more focused on our agenda and defeating those who obstruct it, just in time for 2006 and 2008. Lest anyone forget, for several years before the 1980 election, we had knockdown battles within the GOP. The result: Ronald Reagan won two massive landslides.

The real crackup has already occurred--on the left! The Democratic Party has been hijacked by 1960s retreads like Howard Dean; billionaire eccentrics like George Soros; and leftwing computer geeks like Moveon.org. It nominated John Kerry, a notorious Vietnam-era antiwar activist, as its presidential standard-bearer. Its major spokesmen are old extremists like Ted Kennedy and new propagandists like Michael Moore. Its great presidential hope is one of the most divisive figures in U.S. politics, Hillary Clinton. And its favorite son is an impeached, disbarred, held-in-contempt ex-president, Bill Clinton.

Two great money quotes from the Maha Rushie that convey the real strength of the Right - and the enduring weakness of the Left. That's what the dust-up over Harriet Miers' nomination is all about.

If ya'll feel inclined, you should go to Opinion Journal and give your comments about the article. I think it was classic Rush .. and I hope a lot of people will take the time to read it. I already did - and sent my comment.

We will, if or when he makes the RIGHT choice. Not before.

I might add that us despised and vilified moderates are far stronger and more important than either side realizes.
