I’m getting tired of conservatives who simply blame the media without even thinking about it. The media can be blamed for plenty of things but that doesn’t excuse intellectual laziness from us. We’re starting to sound like the left blaming Bush as a conditioned response.

While I’m on the subject of conditioned response, I’m also sick of this crap about the establishment trying to destroy Gingrich. Just this morning Karl Rove was saying that Romney should probably drop out early if he doesn’t win any early states. Last week it was Ed Rollins saying that Romney’s flip flops were hurting him. As for Michele Bachmann not going after Romney, also a line of crap. Just because the media doesn’t mention it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Just yesterday there were a whole string of slaps at Romney from her campaign posted on twitter and facebook.

If conservatives truly do want to save the country, they better cowboy up and recognize voting for a progressive republican won’t do anything more than help shift the country further leftward. A little moral courage goes a long way.

That was sort of my response at seeing the comment I responded to. It's a mindset of blind allegiance, that admits no facts or truth. It's scary to observe it in a so-called conservative.
