Moderate Republicans lost (a true conservative could have won)
Topics: Political News and commentariesMelanie Morgan says it's time to quit the Sarah bashing and forget compassionate conservatism, moderate conservatism, or any other left-tained version of conservatism and get back to the conservatism of President Reagan - the kind that loves our country for its goodness, its righteousness, its deep-rooted love and protection of freedom (as opposed to the complete opposite ideology of Barack Obama and the liberal Democrats that is closer to communism and sees no goodness and righteousness in our country and prefers thugacracy to the freedoms of true democracy and our Constitution).
Her piece, titled "The Moderate Republicans Lost," spells out simply and succinctly what Republicans must do now:
[...] "Sarah Palin, the newest star on the political horizon and the most natural campaigner since Ronald Reagan, is not only a Republican, she is also a woman. She is not only a woman, she is a conservative woman. She is not only a conservative woman, she is a Christian conservative woman. It is entirely predictable, but unconscionable, that the media would consider her fair game for personal destruction. They must realize, however, that their bias and distortions all but destroyed their credibility during the 2008 presidential campaign."Be sure to read the beginning of Melanies post, where she castigates blue-nosed Republicans who choose to hold meetings, navel gaze, and beat-up on Sarah Palin.
I couldn't say it any better. If you are joining the pack of rabid jackals attacking Sarah Palin, you are not a conservative. Period.
We haven't elected a true conservative since Ronald Reagan. It's time to tear the scabs off the gaping wound that has festered for too long. No more compassionate conservatism, moderate conservatism, or any other left-tained version of conservatism. Let's get back to the conservatism of President Reagan, the kind that loves our country for its goodness, its righteousness, its deep-rooted love and protection of freedom.
It's time to see the good in our country and stop beating it up for political points of populism with the world outside our borders.
Here are my important safety tips to choosing a real conservative presidential candidate:I have many more tests to ensure we get a true conservative next time. We have great prospects. One thing is very clear: The moderate conservatives have had their go at it. There should be no war in the Republican Party. The moderates lost. We know this because they are attacking Sarah Palin, a conservative woman. They fear she will be a strong contender against their future wobbly candidates.
- Make sure he/she doesn't faint when looking at the pictures of Sarah Palin with a dead Moose.
- Make sure he/she knows how to stand by our troops. That means funding the war on radical Muslims jihadists. It also means standing up against artificial timelines to withdraw our troops. It also means calling a spade a spade. We are fighting a war against radical Muslims. Say it. Believe it.
- Make sure he/she believes in Capitalism with a capital C. No further explanation is needed.
- Make sure he/she has never "crossed the aisle" to work with any of the Kennedys. In fact, he/she must promise that, if elected, he/she will never invite any of the Kennedys to the White House for dinner or a movie.
- Make sure that he/she swears that he/she will never agree to bailouts, not even when the Kennedys' yacht takes on water.
- Make sure that he/she understands that the sun causes global warming and the moon looks nice when it's full over the Pacific Ocean.
- Make sure that he/she comprehends that, even though President-elect Obama believes that Iran is a very small threat, the country's nuclear ambitions include intense global warming for our ally, Israel. And we, the Great Satan, must be prepared to make glass of Iran if it misuses its new energy source to hurt our friends. President Reagan called it peace through strength - well, it will be peace if the Iranians keep their nuclear reactors to themselves.
We won't know who will step up to the plate, but we do know they must be conservative. The moderates lost. It's time for them to step aside and work on behalf of a Reagan conservative.
Republicans can choose to further fragment the party and loose elections, or they can do as Melanie and others suggest, and get back to the conservatism of President Reagan, and win elections. In his piece at Red County, Dr. Richard Swyer notes that as we analyze this years Presidential election there are some indicators of where voters are that have been overlooked, and the analysis confirms Melanies points of view. In many states, issues dealing with global warming, the definition of marriage, and taxes were also on the November 4th ballot, and in practically every case the conservative positions won and liberal positions lost by large margins.
