On his Tuesday radio show, conservative talker Mark Levin, author of Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America, reacted to former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum effectively ending his campaign with an announcement in Gettysburg, Pa., calling for his listeners to be realists. Levin had been an outspoken critic of Mitt Romney, but conceded that Romneys likely nomination was a win for the so-called Republican establishment.
Well the Republican establishment got its way, Levin said. The Republican establishment has won yet again. Some of you are very upset about it. Some of you are self-delusional not many. Some of you are thinking, Well, what you mean? This is conservatism. No its not. Just because youre not Obama doesnt mean youre a conservative or a constitutionalist.

I think I will adopt an abused PUSSY in honor of Levin!
Liberty and Tyranny, my arse! If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
I didn't mean for my analogy to be disrespectful of Levin, I just thought it was apt. I do think what you said about him is very demeaning. He is a conservative giant, I am just not prepared yet to think this was totally a lack of courage. I haven't figured it out yet. I think he has done enough for the conservative cause to warrant some slack, till the reasons for his action are fully clear. He may be misguided or maybe what I consider his misplaced loyalty to Santorum is playing a part.
I do really love your quote though... :)
Great post tbf. One more thing we all need to consider. From now on Obama people are going to be pounding away at Romeny and wearing away his standing in the polls.
I admire (or perhaps pity) your misbegotten faith in Mitt Romney. If he's elected president, I predict that he will break your heart on every single one of those points.
What surprises me, is how many good conservatives are ready to anoint Mitt, when there's still a qualified conservative in the race. Yes, I know that many think he's been completely eliminated from the contest - but even if he has, has our side completely lost the concept of fighting for what's right?
I just can't get with this movement to accept, and even support, a man who is the antithesis of everything I hold dear. I said that Romney is only half a step to Obama's right, and I meant it. That's my observation of the man, based on his RECORD. I will not flip-flop on my opposition to someone like that, just because it's the 'pragmatic' thing to do.
Evil is evil, I don't care what jersey it's wearing. Electing Socialist-Lite isn't the answer to the threat of rampant Communism. The answer, my fellow Americans, is to FIGHT BACK! If that means CWII, so be it! It's about time we had that fight once and for all, so we can get our country back.
FUMR!
Thanks for the admonishment true beliver forever. Prayers up for Levin!
