According to the MSM, Conservatives are ripe for therapy:
“WASHINGTON - Each year for more than three decades, a handful of icons of the American conservative movement have met for a friendly game of seven-card stud in a Washington hotel suite the night before the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC.
This week, according to several participants, the mood around the poker table could hardly have been more glum.
“Nothing focuses the mind like an impending hanging,” said longtime conservative fundraiser Richard A. Viguerie, paraphrasing the English essayist Samuel Johnson. “And Republicans feel an impending hanging with Hillary looming on the horizon.”
The possibility of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as president was bad enough. Even worse is the absence of a Republican candidate to rally around.
The movement’s leaders “are all pretty much agreed that there is no clear conservative choice,” said the game’s host, David A. Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union. “Or even an unclear conservative choice.”
Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m not “glum” or “down”. Politics is an up and down game. Sometimes you’re up and other times you are down but unless you’re a democrat your never out.
As I said on the radio show today, I am not afraid of Hillary or even at the possibility that she would become President. Yeah it wouldn’t be any fun, but being scared about it won’t defeat her in an election. Conservatives tried the “fear game” before the midterms and it didn’t work and it won’t work in 2008.
As I also said during the show that doesn’t mean that we should be so desperate that we throw up anyone - even if they are a RINO - just to win in 2008. But that’s the way some conservatives are looking at it:
“That sense of foreboding has helped propel several of the campaigns, particularly that of former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who in another season might not have stood a chance among Republican voters. Now, fearing they may lose, some Republicans have said they would be willing to consider someone more moderate if that is their only chance of retaining control of the White House.”
Again, this isn’t the way to “revive the party”. Just to throw in a RINO like McCain because he “appeals to the middle” is stupid if in the end by his election this “redefinition” of Conservatism is pushed even farther into the mainstream.
There is nothing wrong with Conservatism as it is and always has been. It is the RIGHT and it is the only political system that actually works when it is executed in the proper way. The main ideals of fiscal frugality, private property, rule of law, social order and traditional society are the bulkwarks of Conservativism and whenever fully employed it beats the crap out of socialism/liberalism every time.
We don’t need to redefine our beliefs just because we don’t want to see Hillary become President. When her husband Bill - by and large the worst and most corrupt and morally bankrupt President in history won ( and only because of the pick move of Ross Perot) in 1992, conservatives feared that all would be over.
But it wasn’t, and it fact it was a boon to the Conservative Cause because it showed the world what a Democratic President is - a moral lightweight and pacifist which produced devastating events just two years after they left office. Point of fact you’ll remember that Bill wasn’t in office two years before he sizably lost the Congress to to Republicans in 1992, and over his term he lost a total of 48 House Seats, 8 Senate seats, and over 1200 state legislature seats and 439 Democrat officeholders who became Republicans across the country.
Therefore Bill was the best thing to ever happen to Republicans and a Hillary Presidency would bring in even more stellar stats.
Not that I’m advocating that we look forward to Hillary winning, but that we don’t have to compromise to beat her. We don’t need to run away from our core beliefs but expound them in the face of unprecedented assaults by the socialist liberal hords that now rule from our Congress. We can beat them back into insignifcance if we stand on what we believe and put forward Candidates who unashamedly personafy those beliefs.
Sir Winston Churchill said: “One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.”
We have the RIGHT solutions to the problems of this nation and of the world and we don’t have to compromise them or be afraid of preaching them.

Although the speech was certainly patriotic, one thing was noticeably absent. Hensarling, a Mexas/Texico Republican, made no mention of immigration whatsoever! The irony of this absent immigration message came with his statement quoting President Reg…..
