Problem is, Conservatives have NO clue how to hold power. Every time they get it, they end up fighting each other instead of the enemy!

If some of your "family" members try to destroy the family by sharing the goals of the enemy (open borders and big spending socialism), then it's time to remove them from the family.

It's really simple. The bill is in the house, pass it and this will all go away.

"And they believe that American taxpayers should provide them unlimited benefits."

I doubt they believe they are entitled to unlimited benefits.

If conservs keep circling the wagons, and pushing out those we think are not PURE, the Quisling Dems will be in charge and not for just a short time. Once they regain power, the MSM, and every other institution will be in full gear to permanently destroy any conserv-Pub outlets. Listen, the dolts in the conserv movement pose no danger to my liberties, freedoms and international security. ANY Democrat does. Period.

Then the Republicans and the President should reconsider there choice to go against the will of the base and the people concerning amnesty.

The problem you have is that the various factions of the conservative movement all have their justifications for removing someone else from the family.

After today's column by Melanie was published she heard from a number of Constitution Party members who are furious she singled out constitutionalist opposition to the war on terrorism. They think people like Melanie and others who support the war effort are totalitarians and they think SHE should be rooted out of the "conservative" movement.

The libertarians are opposed to the war AND the higher spending.

Most of FReeperdom and the talk radio world are opposed to the "we love illegal aliens" cabal that's running Washington, D.C. right now.

We have to find a way to get the conservative movement back on the track of pursuing conservatism and getting everyone whose willing to go that direction on board.

I thought Melanie was fired from KSO? Great news if she is back on the air!

The Libertarian Party is not conservative. It's for liberals who are ashamed of the Democrats.

The Libertarian Party is certainly a fiscally conservative party.

In fact they were the FIRST political party to endorse the Recall Gray Davis movement in California - which Melanie Morgan launched on her radio show.

The Libertarians beat out the Republicans in this effort.

They're certainly not "with" conservatives on plenty of other issues, I'll grant you that, but Melanie's column seems to say they used to be more with the broader conservative movement and now they seem more against it.

Today's conservative family tree has four branches to it. 1) Economic ... 2) Social ... 3) Cultural ... 4) National security

Guess that means I'm on the trunk of this tree.

When the branches get excessively long, they must be pruned for the health of the tree.

Any party that opposes the War on Terror (as the Libertarians and Constipationists do) is in league with the Democrats.

"Problem is, Conservatives have NO clue how to hold power. Every time they get it, they end up fighting each other instead of the enemy!"

I don't believe this is true. The conservatives are not in power, the Republicans are. There is a large, and growing, difference between the two.

There is no way to forcefully unite the differing conservative factions and any attempt will result in failure.

That doesn't mean conservatives can't unite, only they will not do it by design. Each faction has it's own separate agenda, goals and strategies. Conservatives will unite temporarily around a cause or event in which communal identity is shared, like the presidency of Bill Clinton or the WOT.

People need to understand this and make it work for them rather than trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
