BTTT.

While I don't agree with Bush on immigration and a smattering of other issues, but we must not lose sight of our goals. I have a firm belief that conservative values will win out in the end IF we don't place roadblocks due to our impatience.
The fact of the matter is that now is not the time to give up - oftentimes the hardest trials occur before the victory and, frankly, I don't think we're facing our toughest yet. Moreover, we can not use a short-term time line for conservatism - it has taken around 40 years to get where were at.
The best thing we can do is get involved with the party. Be a delegate, push out the RINOs, vote in the primaries. Not doing so completely plays into the opposition's hands. Here in Utah, Rep. Cannon (pro-amnesty etc) was forced into a primary (his opponent - Jacobs - got 52% of the delegate vote). This couldn't have been done if conservatives sulked at home.
Impatience is motivation (which is good), but it must be tempered by an uncompromising willingness to fight for the ultimate objective no matter how long it takes.
IOW - No matter how long the fight, CONSERVATISM WILL WIN if we don't give up.

Forgot something - Besides being a delegate etc, run for office! Whether a party office or state/federal elected office all help.
