——Principled Conservatives are——
becoming a rare bird because so many moderates have gone along with the liberal agenda and let the liberals teach our children in the schools how old fashioned and outdated conservatism is.
It might just come faster than you think.
As if the Republican party represents conservatives now?
It is already crushed. The walking dead RINO-lites just don’t know it yet.
I’m afraid America will have to give liberalism a chance to ruin us and hopefully survive it, in order to revive conservatism. This transcends “party”.
Hook our wagon to the FALCON party.
I am not now, nor have I ever been a Republican. And as the Republican Party keeps tilting to the left, I never will be a Republican. I am a conservative who has always been an independent and that is what I shall remain.
I am in the process of cashing out and putting a lot of money overseas in trusts for the kids.
What is here is typical stuff that is not taxed; will live out of my company pretty aggressively.
Inspired by others on F.R., actually.
I’ve given up, in other words.
Go RINO hunting, and try to expurgate the Rockefeller wing.
Not quite ace, but hey, carry on with the GOP
“Win or lose I’m looking fo9r a real, viable alternative to the GOP. A congressional conservative caucus would be a good palce to start.”
Yes, a sub-group within the GOP would be the logical first step, that requires some basic conservative actions, not just statements.
Once it gets large enough, bolt the party, if need be.
Right on as usual Brother....
If/when the GOP is annihilated in November (with the sole possible exception of the White House, I predict this to be the case), I plan to sit back and wait for the country to recoil in horror at what they’ve wrought (yet again). Just as when Carter was elected (the nation gave, in the very next presidential election, an overwhelming victory to a former actor that the MSM demonized), and when Clinton was elected (the poorly-named “Republican Revolution” (it was a Conservative movement) took place in the very next electoral cycle), the electorate will look at the way that their taxes have gone up, at how the markets have recoiled, and the way that more PC lunacy is actually getting passed aslaw rather than as satire, then they will vote againt the incumbents in record numbers (again). Our job in the meantime is to make sure that the viable alternatives are SMALL GOVERNMENT CONSERVATIVES who will stick to their principles after the election, and will continue to take tough stands.
I’ll go to work and ride my motorcycles in my spare time.
Look again. I said posts, not comments. There’s only three posts on that site since February.
My dad is a very hard working conservative and this weekend was the first time I have ever heard him talk about getting a shotgun for the house. He is totally fed up with the direction the anti-America loonies have taken it. I feel sorry for anyone wanting to take any more from him.
I see the Dems getting a 2/3 majority in the Senate, similar to what they had after the 1974 midterm (ie Watergate) elections.
Is that so? Considering that the majority of the site content was added in may, you are a bit off.
And I don’t need to look again. My associate runs the website.
“Vanity” is the correct word. Its a premature question.
If McCain wins, the premise of above will be flawed.
We will live through a period not much different from Bush41s term.
If Obama wins, it will electrify and unite conservatives in the GOP as a way to stop Obama’s uber-liberal agenda. OTOH, we will be a minority at a severe disadvantage and so will lose many battles. But it will be like the Carter years.
The real risk is that on certain issues, especially social issues, we may lose and it will be permanent: Gays in the military; pro-Roe-v-Wade SCOTUS that enshrines it for another 30 years; racial spoils. That’s what awaits us under Obama, and there will be no turning back. It’s not like a tax increase that you could repeal later; destroying fabric of American traditional values is like breaking a Ming vase. There’s no way to glue it back.
Either way, I see the GOP downcycle abating and conservative ideals surviving to fight on. The Democrats failure on the climate bill is a signal that they are already overreaching.
I think we’ll hold the White House - not that it will do us much good in the long run. Now more than ever I think it’s important to do everything we can to support the institutions that are fighting to preserve our freedoms; to that end I joined the NRA on Friday along with my wife. Looking forward to becoming a gun owner and NRA activist and bringing new people into the fold.
A political party based on a Wordpress blog, probably by some college kid? (Who is Jim Archbold?). I really would like to see how much the starter of this has raked in and how much actually goes to politics versus hot pockets and beer.
