Remember that battle cry? Remember Andrew's last speech at CPAC 2012? If you don't, for the sake of our great country, you should revisit Andrew's last speech and really listen to his plea.
In the last election, to the absolute detriment of our military and our country, some so called Conservatives forgot Andrew's dire warnings and plea to unite before the election. These folks claimed to know the danger to our country that Obama presented, yet, they decided to help elect him rather than vote for the Republican candidate. I remember at CPAC that year, one of the "purists" of a schizophrenic group told me when Romney won the straw poll, "We won't vote for him, we will stay home." I felt like someone had punched me in my stomach, literally, because I knew what that attitude meant for our Troops. I knew that without every vote, our brave men and women were going to suffer tremendously if Obama was re-elected as their Commander-in-Chief.
And that is exactly what has happened. Under Obama, the greatest military on the face of this earth has been treated as nothing but props for this maniac-in-chief! Never, in my lifetime, has any President ever released 5 brutal enemies for one American deserter who left his brothers on the battlefield and walked to the enemy! AND, to add insult to injury to our Troops fighting in the hell hole of Afghanistan, this twisted Commander-in-Chief hosted his parents at our White House as they spoke in the tongue of the enemy, and regaled the deserter as some kind of hero! Never in my lifetime, has the enemy of these great United States gunned down our most precious Sons and protectors, on our soil, on our military base, and this dangerous President gets away with calling this "workplace violence!" Never, ever, in my lifetime did I ever think that our American Sons would be attacked, fight their hearts out waiting, hoping, and what is most heart wrenching, believing that their Brothers were on their way to help them, and nobody came. Nobody came because the coward Secretary of State and Commander-in-chief were playing their dirty game of politics while our Sons died! These two traitors were colluding on shaping the narrative that every single American should be so damn sick and tired of hearing. There was a video that offended the Muslims and they were upset! Just think about that folks, that was, in their twisted, callous minds, an excuse to their base to slaughter 4 American Sons. THERE IS NEVER EVER, EVER, ANY EXCUSE TO MURDER 4 AMERICAN SONS and the idea that offending a bunch of psycho jihadis, who brutalize, torture and behead innocent people, is somehow an excuse is psychotic in itself and should be enough to unite ALL Conservatives!!
Since the election in 2012, I have been so irritated and angry at those who decided to stay home and not vote in 2012, and solely for the reasons above. I love our military and I understand and appreciate with all my heart what they do for all of us. How they sacrifice for all of us and I knew, as so many of us who voted knew, what was going to happen to them and to this country when Obama won re-election. Andrew Breitbart knew what was going to happen too, and in his speech, he gave us the key to taking our country back. Get in the bunker with him to defeat the Progressive left, he said, you're either with us or you're on the other side. United we win, divided we lose!
Since the election, Obama and his Democrats (as Andrew stated so well, not your mother's Democrat party), these "totalitarian freaks" as Andrew so appropriately called them, have proceeded to do EXACTLY what Obama promised. They have set about to "fundamentally transform America." I knew he wasn't kidding. Those of us who voted in 2012, totally and literally get the meaning of the words "fundamentally" and "transform" and we knew what was about to happen if we didn't win the election. It was no time for child's play, it was no time for self indulgent and selfish "purity". It was time to pull together for our brave and beloved men and women fighting brutal terrorists with their hands tied behind their backs and with no respect or allegiance whatsoever coming from Obama and the Dems. The day after the election, I felt the same punch in the stomach feeling as I did the day the naïve twit at CPAC told me "We won't vote for him, we will stay home."
Now here we are, September, 2014. Since November, 2012, I have sat and watched, just absolutely stunned at the emails I get in my inbox from the "purists" who didn't vote. Oh my goodness, they are just outraged at what Obama is doing!! Really, just what the hell did they think was going to happen??!!! Did they think he was kidding, or were they more obsessed with their political purist ideology that they were willing to sacrifice the safety and security of our Troops and our country to keep playing their game. The answer shocks me, but after the election, to my dismay, they kept up. If ever we had a chance to defeat the "totalitarian freaks", if ever there was a reason to pull together to beat the progressive left, it is evidenced in everything Obama and the Dems have been doing for the last 4 years. And yet, over the last 4 years, these purists have done nothing but shoot fellow Conservatives in the back. We are on the battlefield and instead of shooting their "righteous" arrows across the battlefield at the freaks destroying this country, they have chosen to shoot sideways. They have become the most useful tool of Obama and the Democrats.
In the last couple of days, I have received one of the most schizophrenic emails ever and it requires a response. I'm sure you have seen it, it goes like this:
Two words say it all Semper fi
It doesn't matter to me if you are a veteran or not. Please read and forward this to all your e-mail buddies. It needs to go viral.
The 2014 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested in this election. Get out and VOTE!!!!)
A movement has been started by our armed forces to get out the vote in 2014...They are organizing themselves, but this can be done by all of us. The President, the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement (ROE) so difficult, that our troops are often killed before they can even get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop our troops from being murdered by the Afghanis they are training, either.
Now, the President wants the US to sign on to the UNs International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow the UN's ICC to arrest and try US troops for War Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US Law, and from which there is no appeal. The President, with his Democratic control of the Senate, has nearly all the power.
and then there's this:
If the Non-Establishment Republicans, and Conservatives, can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops can once again be protected from unnecessary danger."
So much for unity, eh?
It doesn't end there but the rest is just too painful to print. It goes on to detail the horrendous treatment our Troops have suffered and the reason why we have remained so unified against the Democrats, not each other!!! In case these folks don't know it, Semper Fi means ALWAYS FAITHFUL!
First of all, these folks should google the ICC threat they are putting out there. This hysteria has been passed now for a long time and the adults in the room understand the role the Senate would play in this scenario and even Harry Reid wouldn't try to push this through. So stop the nonsense and the hysteria. This reminds me of the fema scare when Obama was elected. Funny, I was told by some that I would be one of the first to go in the fema camp and I'm still here.
Secondly and more to my point, the last time I checked these "Non-establishment Republicans" as they now refer to themselves, I think their candidates fared a pathetic something like 0 for 7 in recent elections. The Republican candidates that truly have a chance to beat the Democrats in the November election fared very well and that is because every single Republican I know voted in the primaries, along with our beloved military and Veterans. So I suggest that's a big Semper Fi and wake up to these "non-establishment Republicans."
Lastly, it is downright sickening and schizophrenic for this bunch to now attempt to align themselves with our brave men and women and our Veterans and use them to further their losing fight. This very division they are promoting is the very reason our Troops and our Veterans have suffered so. Cut the crap! Stop the division! If you care about our Troops and this country, pull together and get behind every Republican candidate in this next election and vote, so we can win the Senate and keep the House. As the adults in the room understand, if Conservatives don't have a majority in the Senate, there is very little the House can do but pass legislation and watch the Democrats shove it in a drawer!!!
The enemy isn't at the door, he is in the frickin house and he is getting closer and closer to my children and yours! To those who want to continue to divide us, go sit in the corner where you belong because we can't afford you anymore. Every Republican I know, and all our brave military and Veterans, we will take care of this election and we will begin to set things right in November.
As Andrew so clearly put it:
"Anyone that's willing to stand next to me to fight the progressive left, I will be in that bunker, and if you're not in that bunker 'cause you're not satisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you. You're on the other side."
Here is the link to Andrew's speech at CPAC 2012. After Andrew's death, there was a national mantra among all those who professed to stand with Andrew and it was everywhere: "I am Andrew Breitbart".
Watch his speech. Andrew laid out as clearly as ever that the enemy was the "progressive left" and he made it clear that if you weren't in the bunker to fight them, "YOU'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!"

To our beloved troops and Veterans, my deepest apologies for all that you have had to endure. My family reveres you, we are beholden to you, and I will continue to do everything I can to fight for you so that you once again are revered by this nation. You are the BEST of the BEST and this nation owes you and your family a debt of gratitude. God Bless and Watch Over You and Your Families.

“How do we stick together with the people who continue to kick us in the face repeatedly?”
Hey,I don’t like it anymore than you do,but ANYTHING would be better than another Obama.
It may not be ideal,but it would be a start.
.
After reading about some of the underhanded things the GOP is doing to conservatives, I can honestly say I will never call myself a Republican ever again.
it’s a tough needle to thread. We need to both help them get win, but also let them know that there are, and will be, repercussions for ever kicking us again.
I keep pointing to Mark Levin’s idea of picking a single Senate race every cycle and targeting a RINO for defeat in the general election. Not enough to swing control of the Senate, but enough to send a strong message that we’re powerful, we’re paying attention and we won’t be triffled with.
Best candidate for that this cycle is Cochrane. IMHO. In 2016, unless something else pops up, it should be McCain. Focus the effort on one incumbent, rather than difusing across several (something Conservatives tend to do).
If we keep voting for them, then we are showing them there are no repercussions.
Any GOP candidate who is seen as TEA Party is going to find themselves without much funding and support. The guy who beat Cantor, the GOP in that district gave their GOTV money away to other GOP orgs.
Even in lefty Massataxes they worked tirelessly, even lying and cheating to keep a real conservative off the primary ballot. How crazy is that?

Another candidate, for the Senate, was totally ignored at the state convention even though he had paid for a huge sign right next to the stage. As soon as the establishment candidates name was called for nomination they closed nominations.
If I lived in that messed up state I would definitely be supporting independent Scott Lively
Well said Leni.
I stand with you.
I AM ANDREW BREITBART.
I came close to leaving FR last election when Obama won again. I don’t know if there was fraud. But let’s say there wasn’t. Millions of Republicans stayed home because Romney was, well, Romney. FR was purist and proud of the voters that abstained voting for Pres. FR may have had some influence, given serious voters ammunition not to vote.
I love Andrew Breitbart and always will. I love Ronald Reagan. I love the important line in the Hippocratic Oath. All say the same thing. The perfect is the enemy of the good. First, do no harm. Vote for the most conservative guy. Defeat tyrannical socialists.
Letting Obama win another election has caused far more harm than Romney would have. Comforting yourselves clinging to the bloody entrails of never voting for a RINO is a lie.
We must oppose tyranny or we deserve it.
And we are nigh powerless against a media purchased by tyranny. We must continue to try and break through. There is hope when we read all the anti Obama sentiment on twitter or in comments on articles. We must be Breitbart and we must fight and we must stand together.
And so we got Obama who is so much better. NOT
When you lose elections something is wrong, when you become so radical that your own voters don’t vote for you, it is a time for you to catch yourself and examine just how destructive you have become, instead here it is 2014, and you are still trying to sell us on Mitt Romney and his pro-abortion agenda, and trying to give him prominence and position and power, to shape the GOP platform and candidate choices for the future.
Well said.
It begins "Now here we are, September, 2014."
It succinctly encapsulates perfectly where we are and why we should be where we should be.
Leni
Right and Putin is living in the 19th century and all we have to do is say that and admonish him. That works. NOT
Works? If you have a desire to restore conservatism, then you should quit opposing it, it is September of 2014, turn over a new leaf.
But, that was all water under the bridge (I thought) and it was time to put all our effort into defeating Obama.
It struck me a bit as being on a combat patrol when the platoon leader is taken out and half of the men refuse to fight for the next in command; because of what ever reason they are willing to let everyone go down to have their way.
Or a man telling you to surrender, because they had surrendered in the last war, so here is now 2014, let’s keep fighting to keep Romney alive and viable and to keep his influence in changing the party to be pro-abortion and pro-gay and overall liberal front and center.
Romney was the worst thing that ever happened to the GOP and should be a lesson to the left of the GOP, yet his supporters still are pushing him and his influence, which means he is still a hope for the left of the GOP. If they can’t get him in for 2016, they seem determined to at least mine every ounce of his ability to influence current and future GOP politics.
!
Abortion? Gay? Are you going to die on those twin hills? Abortion and gay didn’t have a thing to do with what is going on with ISIS. Abortion and gay didn’t take 11-12 jet airliners to use as weapons. Abortion and gay didn’t have anything to do with Putin and Eastern Europe.
So true!!!
Yeah, abortion and marriage are fundamental.
What kind of weird lefty rant was that?
Our side is better armed, if not as ruthless. We will learn ruthless soon enough.
Re: “Millions of Republicans stayed home because Romney was, well, Romney.”
Please see my Comment #24.
There is very little statistical evidence that millions of Conservatives stayed home in 2012.
