I agree. There’s no reason to allow the Politico, Mort Kondracke, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker or any other liberal-leaning political hack define the GOP.
I don’t tell them how to run their party, they don’t get to tell us how to run ours. Our ranks are full of Judas characters seeking to define us in the image they’d like for us have.
Not to mention, the Southern states (of which I’m in one) don’t own the market on true conservative values. This site is based in California! True conservatives are all over this country - working, raising families, and contributing to society. Until these and other conservatives stop being afraid of condemnation for their values and the all-to-be-expected media thrashing they might receive, we might continue to see our values and viewpoints squashed under the current wave of socialist, secular political popularity.
I refuse to be afraid of Quayling or Palinizing, and neither should my friends residing in states currently blue.
Agree with all that.
Speaking as a conservative in New York here, where like 90% of my coworkers are liberal. They still mange to lose most political arguments with me though, because they happen to wrong on nearly every issue one can think of, and they are not used to anyone strongly challenging their views. We are.
