As I wrote yesterday, the Tea Party movement really isn’t about making the GOP a more conservative party; it’s about making what is already a conservative party more obstinate, unyielding and hostile to Democrats.

As if someone writing for Salon has a clue. In any event, I'd be happy with these results...

IOW, help make our form of government more “conservative”, in a sort of “back to the constitution” sort of way.

I think that would be a good thing.

That's true only if you define being "conservative" as saying you're conservative and then signing your name onto liberal legislation. Yes, the Tea Party is about actually being conservative, not just paying lip service to it.

Why shouldn't we want to be "hostile to Democrats" because they are certainly hostile to the Tea Party as is this know-it-all Salon creator. He obviously thinks that he is smarter than the rest of us.

Steve Kornacki, news editor for Salon, has come out as a gay man, in an article written for the site in which he explains the hows and the whys, as well as the why nots, of his coming to terms with being gay.

Doesn’t sound like a problem to me. For the Leftist Pubbies and Dems, yes.

The Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) say it’s time for Democrats to return to their compassionate roots when priorities were civil rights and humanity:

The Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) 2012 “Progressive Southern Strategy” will help restore faith in the Democratic Party while ensuring the re-election of President Barack Obama

It is important to learn from history when both major parties touted a “Southern Strategy” to win the hearts of “Dixie”

Author Steve Kornacki story

Steve Kornacki describes it this way:

“Democrats thought they had solved their Southern problem in 1976, when a peanut farmer-turned-Georgia governor named Jimmy Carter swept through the old Confederacy, winning every state except Virginia en route to a narrow Electoral College victory over President Gerald Ford.

For the first time in 12 years, the Democrats had won a national election — and Dixie was the reason why.”

http://www.zimbio.com/Ronald+Reagan/articles/oK4zz9xVJP1/Progressive+Democrats+America+PDA+say+time

Republicans returned in 1980 with their nasty version of a “Southern Strategy” after grandpa-esque Ronald Reagan managed to have “Dixie” stab President Jimmy Carter in the back – four years after propelling Georgia’s “native son” to victory.

“The story of why Reagan was in position to run against Carter in 1980 — and how he managed to turn Carter’s prideful home region against its native son — really begins in 1964, when regional tensions within the Democratic Party finally reached a breaking point.

Since Reconstruction, when white Southerners developed a bitter hostility to Reconstruction and its northern Republican liberal architects, Dixie had been the most staunchly Democratic region in the country“

— Wrote Steve Kornacki

Conservatives have ALWAYS been the ones that have to 'compromise' with Democrat scum. Enough. If we are the majority, then we need to act like it. We are the speeding windshield; liberals are the bug.

Splat.
