Indeed, for the Left nothing so becomes a conservative as death, rendering the conservative mute and thus a cudgel with which to flail living conservatives.<br /><br />The next best thing, of course, is a "Republican Who Desires To Really Matter" (colloquially known as "useful idiots") and Turncoat Republicans (aka David Brock) who acquire immense credibility and gravitas in exchange for their soul.RESnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-85888600559306799922009-09-09T01:02:16.062-04:002009-09-09T01:02:16.062-04:00It might be the Jack talking, but anyone else feel...It might be the Jack talking, but anyone else feel the urge to Gay Marry that saucy little red-headed fellow in the black jacket in the video Stacy posted?Alec Leamashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826355850691566819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-88700104470813183752009-09-08T23:33:41.044-04:002009-09-08T23:33:41.044-04:00I don't know why any true conservative pays a ...I don't know why any true conservative pays a damn bit of attention to anything that comes out of the New York Times or anyone associated with it, except to find fresh targets for mockery and scorn.Wombat Rampanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701990675489671528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-75103505099076428812009-09-08T23:32:18.973-04:002009-09-08T23:32:18.973-04:00Even if Buckley agreed with these contemptible squ...Even if Buckley agreed with these contemptible squishes, or if Limbaugh turned on us, or even if Reagan himself through some bizarre twist had ever said something to support their ridiculous ideas, I don't give a flying flap! This (meaning conservatism) isn't about charismatic leaders. The squishes turn on Reagan, on Rush, on Glenn Beck, hoping that if they can discredit the leaders as they see them they can destroy us. But like the Jews with Jesus Christ, and as with many martyrs, they will find that those martyrs and leaders taught us true principles and that we will hold to those principles whether the leaders be alive or dead.

But Reagan believed formed his platform over 20 years, steeped in reality as he saw it... and wasn't about to water it down for '80. Rather, he came back with an even sharper message, supported by the liberal incompetence of the God forsaken Carter era. <br /><br />We will find ourselves -after losing with a RINO in '08- facing the same circumstance in 2012. Small wonder then the Dems are trying to keep any Reagans from arising...especially charismatic, capable, and clever ones in heels.<br /><br />And Alinsky would have admired the DNC and WH's efforts to isolate and demonize strong opponents such as Rush Limbaugh- after they neutralize him and all like him, we would be left with an un-electable RINO-laded GOP pushing the Obama-lite that Colin Powell was advocating... back before the Obama ether began to wear off, anyway.<br /><br />What would Next Right propose, anyway- Voinovich/Snowe 2012?

There is a Federalist position that a conservative can take, whereby we need only support the Constitution explicitly, and not waste word one on the W.S. Let it play out and bear its fruit or wither on a per-state basis.<br /><br /><b>(b)</b> "Conservatism is a philosophy of opposition." Taking position (a) above means we can stop at Alinsky Rule #4 , and tell these propeller-heads with the swell ideas to make it Constitutional or pack sand. We only seek to do the correct, simple, proper thing. They have no game, but trying to oppose their un-game winds up arming them too much of the time.smitty1ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559464300318848169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-86073034971644969322009-09-08T17:01:26.050-04:002009-09-08T17:01:26.050-04:00Well, if it's the only way they can get a date...Well, if it's the only way they can get a date... more power to 'em.Terry Kanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-36518487438497063422009-09-08T16:21:15.052-04:002009-09-08T16:21:15.052-04:00This is excellent, Stacy, one of the best things I...This is excellent, Stacy, one of the best things I've read recently.Joe Budzinskihttp://novatownhall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-18537805507023323722009-09-08T16:08:21.254-04:002009-09-08T16:08:21.254-04:00With these marvelous people being considered the n...With these marvelous people being considered the new Right, it means that we have to keep kicking them, and Rachel Maddow, in the balls even harder.<br /><br />That said, Ana Marie has big titties.Rev Dr E Buzznoreply@blogger.com
