The Battle for the Soul of Conservatism

We have a contingent of supposed conservatives in D.C. who vote by what they think will deliver them the most donations and votes while spitting on what it was that allowed us to emerge as a political force unlike any other in the latter part of the 20th Century. They are weak and gutless and will never stand up for what is right and look this president in the eye while saying no.

Not just politicos are in this but beltway pundits as well and their efforts to change the party are having an effect. People like David Frum whose idea of conservatism is roughly that of Sen. Arlen Specter. Frum is the Neville Chamberlain of this debate pushing appeasement with an administration and a Congress that is looking to wipe us out once and for all. Frum is living in a 9/10 world where all the signs were there but no one put them together.

The battle is on and it will be for the good of our party, but more importantly, our nation.

And yet so many who still cling to the party under the delusion they can convince the Neville Chamberlain type party leaders to change their ways while refusing to admit the party abandon Conservative principles long ago.

It’s sort of like giving the “bean counters” the “run of the company” to determine what will sell and what won’t... LOL...
