“that we are impatient for a return to conservative government. We’ve waited decades for even a hint. It will take at least that before we can reach anything that we can call “conservative” if we are honest in assessing it.”
State governors and legislators are engaged in growing conservative government, but myopic conservatives can only see Washington politics. Conservatives need to devote time and energy to local politics. All the tools are in the states to crush the criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington. All conservatives need do is pick up those tools, learn how to use them and go to work.
For example, the state I’m currently working in has a unit that arrests Holder’s thugs. They are charged under the state’s anti-lynching law. About 15 are in jail now, facing up to 20 years in prison.
Gov. Walker in Wisconsin showed states how to take on union thugs and win.
There’s a constitutional sheriff who is holding public meetings in his county, urging citizens to buy weapons and learn how to use them.
“State governors and legislators are engaged in growing conservative government, but myopic conservatives can only see Washington politics. Conservatives need to devote time and energy to local politics.”
Bravo. You are exactly right. There is another reason why conservatives need to engage at the local and state level: The coming failure of the federal welfare hammock.
For the reasons stated previously - we cannot, at least at the national level, manage to elect leaders (of either party) that will take the steps necessary to rein in deficits, much less repay debt. Fact is, it probably won’t happen - at least to the degree necessary to prevent the failure of the welfare state.
So when the checks don’t show up, it is the state and local governments that are going to have to figure out how to take care of those that are truly needy. That’s going to be a tough job given how dependent we’ve become as a nation on socialist federal entitlements.
But to the subject of the thread - at the national level, the criticism of Romney Ryan is as correct as it is ridiculous in expectation of implementation of actual effective conservative policies at the federal level.
The good news, as you point out, is at the local and state level where the stupidity of overspending is less possible over the long term.
