In light of Tuesday, I am in awe of how fitting this speech is!
Rush likes to say that Conservatism triumphs wherever it's tried. But when the Party runs and hides from its conservative values, as they have been doing for years now, those values do them no good. We'd be seeing some different headlines today if the GOP had remembered Reagan's words about "bold colors" versus "pale pastels".
Draft Newt?
"Draft Newt?"
Bad personal life.
Ditched too many wives.
True, but its gonna be tough to find a squeaky clean anybody. This voter is willing to forgive Newt's personal transgressions -- its not the same as when Slick Willie perjured himself during a sexual harassment trial -- if Newt and Co. create an updated Contract.
The problem with Newt is the same problem that the 'Rats are going to run into with Hitlery -- he is simply too divisive. There is a huge portion of the country that despises Newt and will vote against him no matter what, just like Hitlery.
Reagan battled the left for years, but EVERYONE liked him and that helped him succeed.
True that, but I think Newt has learned that hubris will do ya' in, even with good ideas like the Contract.
We need a Conservative Uniter; it sure as heck wasn't W. We need a new "Happy Warrior" like RR.
Ping.
Sound familiar? I believe we were trying to correct some folks just the other day.
Check the history books pal, we've had our 230 years in the sun; its over. Bend over and prepare for the NWO and thank many of your GOP buddies for helping it become a reality.
As far as me leaving FR; I've been here a lot longer then you and I will put my conservative principles up angainst yours any day. I have a right to be here.
Was that a typo, or did you actually think that was witty?
what we need are the GOP Koolaide drinkers to wake up and realize that the GOP no longer has any real connection to conservative principles.
Sure, just like it didn't in 1976. Funny how that turned out...
sheeple like you will call it conservative.
Mischaracterising me is not going to make your case.
As far as me leaving FR; I've been here a lot longer then you and I will put my conservative principles up angainst yours any day.
I never said you were not a conservative, I said you were a wuss and should take up knitting. There's a vast difference.
I have a right to be here.
No, you don't, actually. I have no desire for you to leave involuntarily, nor am I the one that makes the decision who stays and who goes, but your presence here is a privilege, not a right. This is JimRob's house. My message to you that you should take up knitting was a suggestion, not a command.
Check the history books pal, we've had our 230 years in the sun; its over. Bend over and prepare for the NWO and thank many of your GOP buddies for helping it become a reality.
Even if you are right, what do you expect to accomplish by acting like an old man kicking kids off his lawn? "I think the country's done and I'm going to react by being as annoying and insulting as possible!" Really great plan there.
It is quite possible that we're on the path the Romans were on, but if the rest of us choose to go down fighting then there is no reason for you to whine and harass us about it. If you really think the country is done, move to Arctic Canada, stock up on ammo and take up knitting.
LOL! Don't worry about me Silver; I definitely will not go down without a fight, but I don't plan on spending time voting for and rationalizing why we all should be supporting RINO's either (yep, Bush is a RINO as well). We can take the fast train (Hillary, Pelosi & Co.) or the slow train (Bush, McBane, et al)to get to the socialist state, but either way the train pulls into the same station.
If you think voicing my opinion is harassing you and others then you need to grow some stones. Regarding your recommendations, I am well stocked and will not be leaving. As far as knitting, probably not, but I've thought about making a quilt out of old neckties. Is that good enough?
Translation: "You darn kids get off my lawn!"
As far as describing the direction for conservatives to go in and how to achieve conservative goals, it is the single best speech ever.
Correct you are...
I believe that this speech truly explains how conservatives need to deal with the GOPe and their efforts to destroy conservatism.
I was thinking this morning that The Obama years are starting to look like the Carter years. Carter led to Reagan. Will history repeat itself? Who could come even close to him. Only one I know. Sarah, your country needs you. Now!
Amen.
Great article. Thank you.

KC, Uniparty ping, if you please.
