Since when does a paid contributor slot at a news network make one a national leader?

[John Galt's cousin]

people listen to Sarah.

Unfortunately most conservatives are too lazy to do the heavy lifting and that’s just the voters.

The Press only invites the the RINOs to TV (even FOX).

[humblegunner]

It doesn’t.

"It's time we all stop preaching to the choir," she said, "and let's grow."

Great advice!

When she is a national leader.

I don’t understand what she’s saying.

Very few people preach conservatism to anyone.

Certainly not in the GOP.

As far as I can see, Rush and Mark are about it. Beck preaches Libertarianism, and Sean...I don’t really know.

When those sources are gone, it’s hard to imagine how anyone will be conservative, because there is no one to plant the seeds of the philosophy.

But there are plenty sources of seeds of the other philosophy, and the success of its growth is obvious and visible everywhere.

[rrrod]

She has a good point. There are conservatives out there that need to be brought into the fold. Then there are folks that dont even know they’re conservatives.

We need leadership that stands for something....then we win.

Sarah vision is clear, essential, and true as a seed that will ultimately feed the soul and the world. It is essential to her being and radiates at her every turn.

[upchuck]

Ping.

where she dinged the Republican Party and called on the conservative movement to be more inclusive.

I listened to her whole speach and not once did I hear her say we needed to be more "inclusive" either explicitly or implicitly. I did hear say all kinds of things that can only be taken that we need to stick to our principles, that we don't need to "rebrand" the party.

I'm pretty sure this is just wishful thinking on the part of the author.

One thing conservatives can do to reach the general public is to make more contributions to net sources of information such as Wikipedia (preferably from a position of strength, with good sources and facts to back up anything written — don’t want to harm the reputation of conservatives with ill-founded revisions or vandalism). Just as the left infiltrated many public institutions and shifted them to the left, the right can do that too (not, of course, for the purpose of using them for propaganda, but rather to help them better reflect the truth).

Yeah, if only she had the credibility John McCain or Reince Priebus or maybe Jeb Bush, then she would be a true leader. /s

"They talk about re-branding the GOP instead of restoring the trust of the American people. Now, we can't just ignore, though, that we just lost a big election. Came in second. Out of two. Second position on the dog sled team--it's where the view never changes and the view ain't pretty."

Prince and his folks need to listen. I just got an email from him saying how "Leadership" is trying to defund ObamaCare and we need to send money to help him save us. I sent the following response:

I see no evidence that the NRC is actually standing by Conservative principles or candidates. There are a few Tea Party folks who got elected despite the NRC's attempts to stop them and install RINOs. It is the few relatively new folks who are in the van when it comes to standing for us and not for some elitists set of "values". When you start marginalizing the RINOs and wholeheartedly backing true conservatives who won't water the Constitution and the people down to a watery, socialist gruel for some misguided sense of "expediency", you will regain my (and others') support. Until then, you are as much a part of the problem as the Democrats, and that's a HUGE problem. Start backing and offering true conservatives for elections and I'll give you another look. Get rid of the folks who currently make the political decisions - they are either morons or are working for the other side. Become unapologetic Constitutionalists and Conservatives or you do not deserve our support.

I know I'm wasting my breath on him, but can't help myself.
