To my mind there are 3 kinds of conservatives:

1) the Rush Limbaugh types (I am one) who rationally believe in fighting is fire with fire and in terms of the movie The Untouchables ‘he wounds one of your guys, you send one of his guys to the morgue and ‘you don’t bring a knife to a gun fight’

2)the ‘turn the other cheek’ evangelical or Christian who gives all his focus to his faith in God but in so doing is not willing to free up time and energy to pursue politics passionately or take Obama seriously or feel it is below his or her dignity to want to take Obama down.

3)those who want to begin civil disobedience, riots or violent revolution-lunatic fringe.

Unfortunately most conservatives are category 2 and the ones who get the MSM coverage are #3.

Our job as # 1 conservatives is to convert #2 conservatives to our way of thinking. #3 conservatives are probably a lost cause.
