Speaking of purging, we’ve allowed strong conservative leadership to be practically purged from the Republican Party. They’ve either gone the way of Newt, who had his golden opportunity long ago and went ‘weak kneed’, or they’ve been marginalized by elites who think of themselves as the rightful owners of the Republican brand.
Perhaps we’re going to find out now if there are enough Reagan Conservatives in this country to rescue it from the destructive path of political gamesmen, agenda driven leftists, and those who are willing to compromise away any principles they may have had, or appeared to have had, in order to “work with” those who are bent on our destruction. Why is it that we must always compromise with “them” for the sake of “unity”, but, they must never compromise with “us”?
We may succeed, by the grace of God, with prayer and principle and support for those who share our conservative values. But, if we do not succeed in electing genuine Conservatives, we will not have lost any more than we would have lost by electing someone as liberal as Ms. Scozzafava.
A leftist is a leftist regardless of the “R” or “D” behind the name, whether or not that name is Pelosi, and it is ridiculous for Newt, or anyone else, to claim rejecting Scozzafava, or anyone as liberal, is a litmus test regarding others who may be less conservative than we would like. The problem is that we have continued to accept Republican Party candidates as the representative percentages of our beliefs and values diminished to this point.
Our Founding Documents need more loyal defenders to join with the few we have in place. America deserves more than what she is getting from the majority of those in power today.
We no longer have the luxury of “going along to get along” with leftists. Our survival is at stake.
