I’m reading up trying to find out.
I did notice this interesting tidbit:
“The MLK day of service project was organized by Hope worldwide, a non-profit new to Anchorage.”

Who/What is “Hope Worldwide”?

"If Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingrahm, Boortz, and the rest of the Conservative talk show hosts are serious about what they say, and their desire to take back the country..."

Hello? Hello? Is there any intelligent life here???

Rush, Sean, et al, are entertainers!
Not Republican leaders.
Not GOP strategists.
ENTERTAINERS!

It's a wonder the number of folks keep getting that point confused.

I thought you said “will go the way of the Vikings” for a second.

Wouldn’t hurt for us to act like Vikings for a while...

No Problem. I tell you, if there is ever trouble in the USA, you can always come to Fairbanks.

i hate to see the faithful core of republicans berated in the house. it is primarily the senate. it needs to be cleaned out.

Yes, 100 flesh-eating horses in the Augean Stables.

I have written four necessary conditions for conservatives to regain control of the GOP and eliminate the destructive RINO domination that has marked the last 15-20 years. They are as follows:

1. GOP registration required to vote for GOP candidates so that crossover voters do not select our candidates in primaries.
2. Move primaries up in several large conservative states so that RINO-infested northeastern states no longer choose our presidential candidate.
3. Allot delegates to the GOP convention from each state based on the number of registered GOP voters in that state. Just because a state has a big population does not get you more delegates to the GOP convention- Dark blue states should not choose our candidate.
4. Divide the delegates from a state between candidates based on primary results- No more winner-take-all primaries.

I think you’re right on target - take it back from the roots up, courthouse by courthouse.

And I think we should also support those in now when they remember why we fought Obamatron.

Cornyn is standing up against Hillary now, and I think that should get him kudos.

Sticks and carrots.

“How many members of the Constitution Party are currently in office? The Constitution Party needs to back our Conservatives in the primary.”

Exactly.
United, conservatives can win.
Divided into 3rd parties of no consequence, we fall.
36% of Americans are self-identified conservatives.
That’s enough to take and win the Republican party.
Then get good conservatives who know how to appeal to the ‘center’ as well, so you get 51% of the vote. game over.

Get ‘R done.

A year ago I was cataloging my list of grievances with one John McCain.

The Me-Too-icans have hastened over to bow and curtsey before the 44th president, though he be an Islamo-Commie from Kenya.

The Lindsey Graham Light Loafer Brigade is tapping their feet in support of carbon credits, nation-destroying "stimulus" spending, nationalized (read: vaporized) health care, conscription of a civilian national defense force to inform on enemies of the administration, releasing islamoterrorists into our midst, removing intelligence tools which have kept us safe, reprising the worst of the FDR, LBJ, Carter and Clinton administrations.

And still we are buffeted by elitist bashing of Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin was the only thing between John McCain for President and flat line.

Between our departing president and our defeated candidate the urge to open the borders to sixty million more Mexicans has been Rodney King-Leatherface unkillable.

Altogether with a nauseating self-hating "new tone" civility to the Democrat-Islamofascist-Media-as-Ministry-of-Propaganda troika.

I am headed for the window, to throw it open to the bone-chilling global warming, to shout toward the Immaculation on the East Coast, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more."

So Hussein models himself on the First Republican.

Party on, one-termer.
