Conservative scholar, talk radio host, and former Reagan administration official Mark Levin said conservatives need to first overthrow the Republican establishment to more successfully take on President Barack Obama and the institutional left.
“We cannot get through Obama and the left until we get through the Republican Establishment,” Levin said, railing against establishment consultants who attack the base and politicians who know nothing of “Burkean reform” because they have spent their whole careers “clawing their way to the top.”
In a talk at the Heritage Foundation on Wednesday with his mentor, former Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese, for whom Levin served as Chief of Staff, Levin said the Republican Party is, “devouring the conservative movement,” and the old bulls need to step aside in favor of a new generation of conservatives who are fluent in conservatism.
“It’s time for the old bulls to get out of the way and for the fresh faces who believe in conservatism and liberty and originalist principles to step up,” Levin said, criticizing those like House Speaker John Boehner for “yielding territory” to the left in negotiations.
Levin said the Tea Party consists of constitutionalists, libertarians, Evangelicals, and those who are against the rigged establishment, beltway culture that for too long has not embraced conservatism and, as a consequence, lost national elections (George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney).
“The Tea Party is the only thing that stands between liberty and tyranny,” Levin said. “We have to defeat the Republican establishment mush in Washington, D.C.”

Research the candidate is key in that there are no big surprises in their backgrounds.
The reason Massachusetts liberal Romney was successful in destroying our chances in winning this election is because the RINO loving statists (including some right here on FR) pushed him on us during the primaries. I seem to remember you being one of the cheer leaders. But maybe I’m remembering wrong?
Ooops! That should be "without sacrificing your principles.
If the tea part was in decline since 2010, it was because the GOP-e,Karl Rove, Fox News, and RINOs everywhere attacked it and our candidates over and over and over again. How many lessons must the RINOs learn?
We got 4 years to build it!
Not a day to waste..
Yes, Sir.
We are the resistance. We know where our bread is buttered, and where it is not.
We have a full term to make it happen, and it starts now!
Resistance on every front, and attacks on fronts that are weak (there are many).
I see room for the eligibility (birthers) issues, the corruption issues (fast and furious), the incompetence issues (Benghazi- though corruption is a part of that) as well as the social and fiscal issues.
WE HAVE VERY LITTLE TO LOSE- most of it is gone already.
Game on.
Neal Boortz said the parasites don’t come out in force and vote in mid term elections so we need to make a special effort to get conservatives elected in 2014. We definitely need to look to the states to block some of the Obama garbage coming our way.
Good for Levin. Right on the mark.
Yep. West was jerrymandered out of his district by the FL GOPe. Bastards.
Thanks for the ping onyx, I didn’t see this thread.
Mark Levin gets it big time.
I read the Palin Cure one you betcha!
Right On!
We have 4 years to build it!
GO SARAH!
It’s too bad that the tea Party supports candidates who voted to fund 0bamacare.
I think you're reading the TEA leaves right. When the bottom falls out of the artificial, unsustainable gravy train, every single person in this country will get to work the day after.
A prosperous people can afford to indulge in such nonsense as Socialism and taxpayer-funded welfare schemes, so long as the wagon pullers are comfortable enough to put up with a little extra weight, but when that weight becomes such a burden that they can hardly feed themselves, the wagon stops, and everyone snaps back into reality. Hunger has a tendency to do that to people.
You've described that reality perfectly. And, that day is coming. ;-)
The tea party is made up mostly of social conservatives, and without social conservatism, economic conservatism is impossible.
This is a democratic country and everyone can vote, if you aren't a social conservative, then you will vote purely for your short term self interests, get it now, for yourself.
That was unclear, the tea party supported Steelman and not Akin, and one national group supported Brunner, so what portion was the problem?
At the same time, you’ve managed to dodge the evil spell, and don’t know what it’s like to be under it. Maybe, against all reason and logic, the end will be to the death, or near it, as in riots, bands of robbers, and such. That would be a great tragedy.
