Knock knock, Neo.
I smell a landslide that will send the rats scurrying.
I agree that the left and the MSM set the time, place, agenda and even terminology of the discussion. That keeps conservatives constantly on the defensive. Gigrich seems to have noticed and has reacted in a limited way. The first thing they should do is refuse to debate on the lefts’ terms in the the lefts’ forums, like CNN and ABC.
This is a great rant.
Valid, too.
Nice guys don’t finish last. Nice guys don’t finish period.

If you wish to fight back, you must first acquire the tools to do the job, or create new tools that have yet to be used.
First, significant outlets for the media must be purchased or created which are owned by people who are conservatives/Constitutionalists/originalists. Without that, there will be a constant disadvantage.
Once there is an outlet for Conservatives that is a prevalent, it will promote the willingness to appear on that media to express objections.
There needs to be Conservative news, conservative documentaries, and conservative programming to compete.
Educators must be hired that are conservative.
Politicians have to be ready to lose for the sake of expressing conservative ideas.
Law enforcement and Congress need to enforce laws that preserve the integrity of the system.
States need to establish systems that guarantee the correctness and accuracy of the vote, with prosecutions for fraud.
Finally, there need to be incentives given to entrepreneurs that laud their achievements and hold them up as moral, honest and helpful human beings.
But none of this is possible until people stop expecting society to do things for them, that they choose not to do themselves.
The system must crash before it can be rebuilt.
Without being racist and being compassionate of feelings at the same time of course. /MS
It isn’t just the candidates that need to learn to fight. We need to take this anger to the enemy. We can start on the high road, but when they take the fight down into the mud, come prepared to get dirty. Stay on offense, always. Newt may not be the best candidate, but he’s the only one willing to call a spade a spade and fight the leftist media on their own terms.
Which media isn’t main stream?
I totally agree with you. We who support a candidate should not let the press dictate our fears. We do not have a perfect candidate in anyone nor will we ever have one. What we need is someone who is courageous and kicks the butts off the press and anyone else who is harming this country and we need to support them warts and all. I sat here and watched what the press did to Sarah. Then to Cain, then Perry, then Newt. Now Santorum. I say stand our ground and be proud. The press is going to make it up if it is not already there. Screw the press. We will trounce the other side because they keep screwing themselves with their own policies and because we have far better candidates than the other side. Whether it is Newt or Santorum, I am in all the way and I do not intend to be biting my nails with every news story. I will defend our guys and carry them across the finish line over broken glass if need be.
HEY! It’s lunch time! IT’S FREE! I’ll get back to you.
Apropos of nothing
There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, ‘Do you know how to catch wild pigs?’
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.
The young man said this was no joke. “You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.
They get used to that and start to eat, again you continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms just a little at a time.

Oh, and, I was happy it turned out a rant and not an opus... :-)
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.
P.S. Good rant. ;^)
“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.
