Santorum did a great job in this CBS interview today slapping down the reporter..enjoy!
Oh, and, I was happy it turned out a rant and not an opus... :-)
GBTV is good. However, it cannot be perceived in a fight between conservatives as taking a side, or it becomes something different than what I am talking about.
I like Beck, but when he starts supporting people that I don’t agree with, it takes away from the very good things he is doing.
While this cannot always be avoided, he would have done well to take a little less strident position vis-a-vis his Newt Bashing. I don’t mind the information and the point of view, but presentation is so very important.
I'm waiting to see the White Rabbit.
Grunt...
Rants are great but the bottom line is action not words. So what is your action plan? BTW I an just as frustrated as you.
Our candidates need to fight back, plain and simple.
Research is a great tool. Santorum would have been better when confronting Charlie Rose with the exact quote from Wright and then connect Obama to Wright. Make Rose choke on his own tongue.
P.S. Good rant. ;^)
There is no difference between any of the candidates, Republican or Democrat, We, the Republic, have been being denied the choice to say NO to socialism.
It’s a setup.
The fix is in.
We, the Republic, have been loosing a war of financial attrition for decades. We, the Republic are engaged in a war with those who govern us. Drastic measures are required to defeat this enemy in order to stop the bleeding that each of us are seeing in the depreciation of our savings, the constant onslaught of taxes, fees, and licenses. Each of them designed to remove our ability to live free.
If a slave is a person who works for no money, then a paid person who works with no money left for savings or investment is therefore a slave. In each case work is done, the slave is fed and roofed.
We must spread the word, at the water cooler, over the fence, while standing in a line at the store or bank. We need a grassroots party, with vetting, to make sure the party is not subverted (we’ve seen these tactics in use with Tea Parties).
We need to enroll those who love to enroll others. After ten years or so we can launch a powerful and viable third party to win back the freedom that was guaranteed to us thru the law of the land.
“I’m ticked off at the ignorance and arrogance of the Conservatives and their unwillingness and/or inability to fight back against the Lame Stream Media, Rats, RINOs and Faux Conservatives.”
1. Maybe you shouldn’t support people you identify as ignorant, arrogant and without the ability to fight for your views.
2. There is no authority which defines a “real conservative”. That is a meaningless term. Also, calling the majority of Republicans RINOs is meaningless. How can the majority not be the norm? The Republican party is a moderate party, not a conservative party (That’s why I’m not a member anymore). Why haven’t conservative voters learned this by now? America is a center-left country now. There is no other explanation for the election and possible reelection of the radical Obama.
3. The media will downplay and ignore anyone who fights them, and they control the message by control of their industry. The media hammers anyone who raises their head as a conservative. The masses say they are unconvinced by media, but they are swayed, no matter what they say. Their voting patterns prove that. Electing conservatives is about stealing moderate/liberal voters, a rare thing to accomplish. Only one conservative has accomplished that without major moderation of conservative values in the last 40 years.
4. Conservative voters are a minority in America. The self-identification of voters as conservative is meaningless. We only win by diluting ourselves with moderates. It takes about 65 million votes to win a presidential election. There are not 65 million active conservative voters in America.
One thing that helped me a lot was getting rid of television in 1997. I confess that I feel like a Jew in Mid-1930’s Germany. But I’m one of the ones that left. In my case I packed up everything and left my home of 45 years, Seattle, and bought a new home on a small farm in Rural Kentucky. we can be literally self sufficient on this place. It doesn’t guarantee anything, but it mitigates risk.
The unwashed hordes from the city will have to make their way through 80 miles of people like me to get here. It tends to cull the herd.
Joe Scarborough is a faux Conservative. He switches his views depending on the audience.
I do support a candidate that has my most of my views but the reason for the rant is that he won't fight with full vigor against our enemies.
If you want to remain passive, which is what it sounds like in your post, then feel free but passive has never won an election.
and Yes, there is a definition that defines “real Conservatives”.
We always take this imaginary “high road” that hasn’t had any Left-wing traffic since the 1950’s, while the Leftists say anything they want with no rebuttal. Look at the “outrage” over Joe Wilson’s “You Lie” comment. You know what? Obama DID lie, but most Republicans are still afraid to even support Wilson’s comment.
