Low ebb? Some would call it, the calm before the storm.

I have my doubts. In fact the writer seems to be experiencing a bit of denial.

Isn't that just like a conservative, to be always looking to the past to make sense of the present?
Yeah, it's called remembering history so as not to repeat it. Conservatives need to remember that when they govern as conservatives, they win. When they try to govern like big-government liberal democrats, they lose.

i can smell a major bust for the dems in nov.
with all the hype of disaster for the pubs, one can safely predict the nov elections will be underwhelming for them at the very least.

Perhaps a low ebb amongst its alleged "leadership".
The bedrock rank and file seems quite healthy thank-you, this Forum being Exhibit A.

He seems to be confusing conservatives' perceived opposition to immigration with our actual opposition to illegal immigration.
To: rottndog
Woof, is right. To hell with compassionate conservativism. To be compassionate for someone else, you have to take the money from my wallet. How about mean old conservatism for a change? The kind where people are treated like adults and are responsible for their actions? The kind of conservatism where good intentions mean squat. Conservatism which protects liberty and not big government. That's what we have to offer and it's not the same as statist paternalism (i.e. socialism) that the RATs are selling. Grrrr!!!!!!

Low ebb? IN case the fool missed it, Conservatives are within one vote and a Senate Majority Leader of controlling all 3 branches of the Fed Government for the 1st time since 1932. Frist resigning and a new Congress in 2007 are the Conservatives best chance ever. Considering 7 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices were born in the 1920s, Liberals should be VERY afraid.

Does anyone think these children will forget how their families, their mothers and fathers, were treated once they grow up to become voters, as they surely will? If they are back in Mexico, I could care less what they think...

Conservative crack-down in progress. Rino's and rats beware.

When did rewarding criminality with welfare state entitlements become a 'conservative' value?

Today's demagogues use the latest wave of immigrants to much the same effect Um, in the 1850's, Catholics were no threat to outnumber Protestants anytime soon. Now, in Southern California alone, "white non-hispanics" will be a small minority in a generation. That is already a fact.
It is not "immigration" when 25-40% of a populous country leave that country and colonize another. It is, in fact, invasion.
And it is not immigration when hundreds of thousands of those people march in the streets of America under the flag of a foreign and hostile nation, while claiming the land and political power of America for themselves. That is sedition, treason, and an open declaration of war against the United States.
There are no "demagogues" on the Right on this issue. There is no historical precedent for anything like what is happening - a literal takeover of a country by what can only be called "immivasion". The only demagogues are those on the Left who refuse to allow any discussion of it, save to engage in name calling like "racist", or "nativist", or whatever idiot epithet they can hurl.

NOTHING in this WORLD would make a rat more happier than to be back in power...

Yep, excellent axiom:
Your compassion stops at my wallet!
I hated the phrase "compassionate conservativism" from the moment it left Bush's bumbling lips.

Conservatives are certainly NOT divided. However, the Republicans are divided between the true conservatives and the RINOs.

Of course I'm talking about the state of American conservatism in 1854, when the Whigs were crumbling fast. If the author by conservatism means the party of big government, the party of internal improvements, national banks, the party that would destroy federalism and centralize the power in Washington DC I suppose he is correct. If by conservatism he means the party of limited government he isn't talking about the Whigs or the early Republican party
