I know its a popular Freeper thing to simply dismiss people who dont agree with their purist views as "Rinos" or some other nonsense, and I sometimes fall into that trap. Anne gets on my nerve sometimes, and I dont always agree with everything she says.

BUT, she makes some good points here. Republicans need to get smarter in order to start WINNING. Conservatives, well, we need to get less stupid as well.

You see, the Democrats had a long term strategy. They did what it took to WIN, and now that they have done so for some time, they can tack hard left, and get what they wanted all along.

They dont call Republicans the Stupid party for nothin..

Ann Coulter is wrong, Bill O’Reilly is right. Mitt Romney lost this election with his “run out the clock” strategy.

He refused to engage on Benghazi. He refused to let Ryan discuss the budget, the same Ryan he was praised for having picked because that meant the budget would be on the table.

He would not confront conservatives about their anti-Hispanic rhetoric.

He shut down the discussion of ObamaCare, the issue that gave rise to the raging 2010 election Tea Party.

Ann Coulter’s explanation of “incumbency” is simply weak spin. I wonder if she’s smacked the “love of her life” for cheating on her with Obama?

Beyond all of this, Ann Coulter has left her God on the sidelines, as will all republicans who succumb to the notion that the political world is secular and their spiritual world view should not seriously inform their politics.

Above all else, to even say that we should set aside our spiritual world view is to affirm that Spirit is not real.

Actually, compromise of principle is the exact opposite of what any true movement wants to do. Make no mistake, appearing to be a compromiser is the same as compromising.

You have just sent the message that your position is not defendable.

In fact, I’d argue that that movement is strongest which insists on using its most uncompromising language.
