Well it certainly showed that elements of the Glenn Beck right, and the NeverTrump cartel are still working with their lib buddies as much as they did in 2016.

No time to fight the left though.

No real interest in it either. Their enemy is Trump and everyone who voted for him.

He will bounce back if we leave it.

Do not let him get Alansky-ed.

Leave it be. Time and the news cycle will take care of things.

That is why leftists keep chugging and the conservatives usually eat their own.

Let’s try it differently, leave it be instead of tearing things apart. There is much to like about Milo.

And the future of the country is at stake.

Don’t give the leftists power over us

Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy
thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”

3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the
enemy.”

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and
actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing
itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of
operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will
break through into its counterside.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive
alternative.”

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:

1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”

2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”

3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”

4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”

5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”

6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”

7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”

8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”

9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”

10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”

11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”

Never-Turmping, House conservatives.

Sadly, violent, blue-haired Berkeley kooks are probably not the main enemy.

it’s people in the GOP who do not want to win.

They are the Vichy Republicans.

I think Milo's explanation seemed reasonable and the usual cowards caved too fast.

Simon and Schuster- not sure if they gleefully publish liberal books, but if he *WAS* a liberal and was actually promoting pedophilia he would probably be their brave hero of the day.

Yes, they are far to busy denouncing Milo to prove how "conservative" they are.

This human talks a conservative line, but he’s not, he’s a male queer, and male queers rim and gerbil and spread diseases. He is tarnishing the decency of normal Americans.

Poor Milo. He should have claimed that he was a Muzzie and child rape is a cultural heritage of Islam. I seem to recall that CPAC loves Muzzies.

Unfortunately his second possible exemption, that he is a Catholic priest, and the Church has condoned child rape for centuries, won't work for him either.

There is always a future in the Boy (sic) Scouts though!

He should simply state: I am not a muslim, therefor I reject pedophilia.

Yeah, whatever.

So when can we see “real normal American humans” like you take his place?

Or are not not brave enough to become the target of leftist smears.

So far the male “queer” has shown more fight than folks like you.

Irrespective of Milo, Mark Davis has been a divisive blowhard for years.

And if "people like this" aren't welcome to speak for conservative ideas why do you think anyone will be able to speak for conservative ideas? If organized groups on the left and the right can silence one group of people for what they think is politically incorrect speech, what will stop them from silencing the rest of us?

Didn't it bother you when people lost their jobs for opposing gay marriage? Were you OK with that?
