1. We must take immediate action to replace Jen Rubin on the Washington Post's opinion page, something that we, as conservatives as opposed to the general readership, actually have the power to do. As one of the leading false conservatives on its editorial page, shes done incalculable damage to our movement The Post keeps Rubin on there for "balance"-- she's touted as a member of the "conservative" roster to balance out the liberals, so in the editors minds, shes supposed to represent us. What the WaPo editorial staff fails to realize is that as a neocon, aka a globalist Trotskyist liberal posing as a conservative, Rubin is not in any way a conservative, and she does not in any way represent the views of the conservative movement. Like her fellow neocon Charles Krauthammer, she writes tripe that fills up the Post's "conservative" slot and so steals valuable column space away from a real conservative.
If we make it clear to the Posts editorial staff that we, as conservatives, absolutely do not see Jen Rubin as representing us and our views, the Post will be forced to fire her and replace her with a real conservative who does, lest they bleed their subscriber base and circulation. Call and especially email and snail-mail the Post, over several days and weeks if necessary, after every article where she talks up this dungpile immigration reform bill or swoons over Marco Rubio, to drum this point home. All the more so if youre a subscriber or frequent reader (the paper or online version) or live in the D.C. area. Best to start with the Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt-- fredhiatt@washpost.com or executive editor Martin Baron-- martin.baron@washpost.com or managing editor Kevin Merida kevin.merida@washpost.com The snail-mail address-- The Washington Post, 1150 15th Street NW, Washington DC 20071 and newsroom for what its worth: (800) 627-1150
The subject line should be simple but direct, something like-- Replace Jen Rubin now! She does not represent me as a conservative.
2. Suggest a replacement for Jennifer Rubins conservative slot. Im thinking someone like Michelle Malkin or Erick Erickson. Or maybe, as a more direct conservative counter to Rubin on immigration and economic policy, a paleo-con like Paul Craig Roberts. This alone would do wonders for the conservative movement and help to better represent our populist views to the public.
3. Follow up with a general full-scale assault on the amnesty and H1B-pushing turncoat RINOs like Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan and Loser Lindsey Graham, especially House Reps like Ryan and Senators like Graham who are up for reelection in 2014. Lets work to recruit primary challenges for each of them as well as any other pro-amnesty RINO, and encourage them to start revving up immediately, as in today, not waiting until 2014 or later. Graham is especially vulnerable as his popularity is dropping and South Carolina conservatives are already seeking a primary challenger. A good, true conservative primary challenger would be State Sen. Lee Bright from Spartanburg, whos already come out against amnesty and the H1B in the immigration reform bill-- http://www.leebrightsc.com/contact/ Write to him and express your support, donate to his campaign and make it clear that youll donate and support further if he stands up, immediately, to publicly criticize turncoat RINO Lindsey Graham and immediately mount a primary challenge to him, starting now. Make it clear to any wavering House Reps, all of whom have to face the primaries in 2014, that they'd better take a strong stand against amnesty and the H1B, or be primaried themselves. That includes Paul Ryan for certain, and potentially Eric Cantor and John Boehner if they fail to hold the line. Anyone know a good primary challenger for RINO traitor Paul Ryan in Wisconsin?
4. As always, light up the switchboards and call your Congressional Reps daily to express your anger about this immigration reform tripe, even Dem representatives if you have them. My apolitical friends and even Dems I know are furious about amnesty and the H1B visa, and if conservatives take a strong stand against them, well win in 2014.
Make it clear that we expect full-throated opposition to the immigration bill from our representatives, and in the Senate, that means filibusters, holds and every other tool available to cripple this America-wrecking legislation. Anything less will prompt a primary challenge and worse, including public humiliation of any Republican who supports or does not sufficiently oppose the immigration bill, to make their careers toxic and leave them unable to get the cushy post-electoral consultant jobs that the RINOs in particular crave. This is already having the desired effect, as for example the calls and letters to Rand Paul have already pressed him to back off his pro-amnesty stance, and oppose the immigration reform bill publicly.
5. Write letters to the editor and call in to the radio shows to express the same whenever you can. This effort is tough and ruthless as it should be, because defeating this Obama-Rubio amnesty must be our #1 priority now that the gun-grabber bill is dead. We can do no less in the defense of our land.
From what I’ve heard Rubio is absolutely taking it on the chin in his talk radio appearances trying to defend this turkey. I suspect we are looking at a midnight jamdown coming here, probably just before the start of a holiday weekend.
The Democrats love this bill. They are salivating over “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”. That is really all any Republican/conservative needs to know to oppose it.
Any bill that turns 12-20 million Democrat supporting law breakers into legalized voters is a terrible idea. There is absolutely no good that can come from this.
Question: Are we nuts, or what?
Get rid of her? No. I like the cut of Jennifer Rubin’s jib. Go to the article, then go look at some of the other stuff she’s written.
