I don't even have to read the article.

What's wrong with Republicans is what's wrong with the majority of middle-class conservatives.

They just want to be comfortable.

They don't want controversy, so they keep their mouths shut and smile and nod. They don't want to risk failure, so they don't try to win converts and refute leftist arguments.

It's a lonely place, people, and it's awkward and uncomfortable. But it's nothing compared to the trenches our ancestors fought and died in to give us freedom.

Why the hell is it so hard for us to get up off our sofas and confront the enemy?

"It's a lonely place, people, and it's awkward and uncomfortable." AND.. But it's harder than nothing compared to the trenches our ancestors fought and died in to give us freedom.....at least to many idiots today.

GOOD QUESTION AND GOOD POINT!

Conservative activism is an oxymoron these days.
Look at this pathetic board. Instead of trying to get smart and articulate, I hear/see more backbiting ankle-biting complaining.

What do you want to see happen in the Govt?
Top 5 ideas/items/issue?
What should we preserve and what should we change?
What do you care about?

We need to get back to basics in our beliefs and get the campaigns straightened out to speak to the people.
