Some on this board measure their conservatism by how pessimistic and cynical they are.

You know, it has nothing to do with cynicism or pessimism. If that were the case, I would have left the Republican party a long time ago. Instead, it's more about the fact that I love my country, and I want my party back. And the only way that is going to happen is to stand up and make my intentions completely clear.

In all reality, the Republican party has lost its way. We have not come together and stood strong the way we should since Reagan. The so-called leadership in the GOP, from Chairman Steele to the House & Senate leadership has failed us overall, and it's time to say enough is enough.

I agree with the concept of a Republican resistance. But I also believe that we have a LOT of work to do. And it's going to start within the party, at a real grassroots, localized level.

Today, Hannity said that 2010 is going to be the moment of truth for the Republicans in the House & Senate. In truth, we have had our moment of truth, and it started in 1994. Gingrich led the resistance, and did well, for the most part. Unfortunately, since then the Republican party has been focused on getting re-elected, not doing what is best for the country. In fact, it could be argued that the Republicans never really fulfilled their contract with America.

Since then, we have been given opportunity after opportunity to make it happen. 2000 - '06 was a VERY crucial moment, and one which I worked very hard for. But again, it was pissed away in the name of bipartisanship. Do you really think the liberal socialists care about bipartisanship? If so, I have some chilling news for you. THEY DON'T. As Rush said at CPAC the other night, bipartisanship for the socialists means simple, we own you. I reject that.

The time has come. It's now or never, and it's only going to happen if we, the Republican membership, stand and fight. It's going to get ugly. It's going to mean going against the traitors within the party. In any event, it is time. If we truly love our country, and want it to live on as we know it, it is time for us to make a stand.

The only question is, are there enough of us truly willing to do so?
