from the article...
Somebody has to pick up where Breitbart left off:

What Breitbart understood, and what all too many establishment Republicans and even conservatives don’t, is that there is no accommodating the left, and there is no hope of receiving fair treatment from the left-dominated establishment press. The left is hellbent on fundamentally transforming the country into a socialist utopia which has never succeeded anywhere it has been tried, and the press is determined to help them do that. Folks, no matter what you do, they’re going to hate you (and hate is the right word). So you might as well do the right thing and follow your beliefs and principles (John “Plan B” Boehner, please note).

This country now has a government headed by the most radical president in U.S. history, one with the worst economic record since Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal extended the Great Depression by eight years. He nevertheless won reelection largely because his opponent conceded too much ground and wouldn’t fight hard enough for what remained.

Barack Obama and the left believe they have only just begun. Sensible, Constitution-anchored conservatives need to start acting as an army of Breitbarts.

As you may have learned when you are younger, being right is not enough. If you can’t convince others that you are right, will make the right choice, have the right answer or know the right course to follow you won’t win the class presidency, the plum assignment or that promotion. If your ideas do not get the time of day and your values are kept like a light under a bushel, your “messaging” won’t “resonate.” Especially when the rest of the government media complex is hell-bent to propagate an alternate reality.

Remember: “It’s not what you know, it’s what people think you know.”

Carve it on my tombstone. Right over the part that says “He died largely ignored but knowing he was right all along...and fine with it”

Carve it on my tombstone.
and that's what's so depressing; as modern conservatives; we can't won't coalesce around a leader / spokesman...
it's our "overabundant pride" that keeps us shackled.

it's our nation's future; its NOT a parlor game...we can't seem to see the forest; b/c of the trees...

To me nothing could be simpler. And I am so sick and tired of people who have to complicate everything about this.

1: Believe in something.
2: support those who support that.

Now as supposed conservatives, we should logically support conservative values. Those are not an unknown quantity.

Is Mandating HPV vaccines to kids or mandating anything of the sort conservative?

No. By no definition. So do not vote for or support that.

Is hiring known GOP operatives to tank your own campaign or attacking people to benefit a liberal conservative?

No. By no definition. So do not vote for or support that.

Is jumping on board with the MSM and Gloria Allred to scuttle a man’s campaign based on hearsy conservative?

No. By no definition. So do not vote for or support that.

Is spending months trashing a candidate whose values and policy statements with you agree with OK because she offended you with a TV show that was non-political?

Is it conservative?

No. By no definition. So do not vote for or support that.

And do NOT support in any way, anyone who does.

If we did that. If we stuck to our core conservative values and stopped making every excuse under the sun as to why our own special circumstance trumps those ‘values’ which then are not valuable at all), we’d get GOOD CANDIDATES to vote for.

But we get majority CRAP because decent people will not stand up only to be mocked and slapped around by ‘conservatives’ acting like freaking DU liberals.

That’s another truth that hurts. and FR and every other right wing site is filled with examples. Thus conservatism by extension is filled with examples.

Thus my statement is logically correct. And lots of people do not like that.
