Sure, Obama’s approval rating is still around 58%. Why shouldn’t it be? Does anyone who voted for him, thinking he was the second coming, honestly want to admit yet that they voted for someone who is not up to the task? Not yet. But sooner or later, reality will overcome loyality, and there will be no where for them to hide. Reality has a way of looking loyality in the eye and staring it down.

Mostly I am laughing at the left as they scream “Let’s give him a chance. He’s only been in office 60 days.” I ask “Where was that chance when you were claiming how Bush was not your president because he stole the election, was not legitimate, yada, yada, yada? Did any of you remember that Bush “inherited” a recession?”

This is going to be a long four years. But it also gives us a chance, as conservatives, to separate the wheat from the chaff. To rid ourselves of those so-called “conservatives” who constantly repeat the mantra that we must be more open, more receptive to the opinions of the left that all true conservatives are diametrically opposed to. Time to turn our backs on the bloggers who say they support gay marriage, are pro-”choice”, are agnostics or atheists and believe in social welfare but yet, call themselves “conservatives” yet are constantly sowing the seeds of dissention within our party.

Now is the time to stick to our convictions, not be willing to compromise them for readership, listership, ad revenue or popularity. To say proudly, this is what we believe and we will not compromise. Socialism, no matter the brand, does not work and we will not go quietly into the night.

It is time to become the loud minority, not the silent minority. To hold Tea Parties, to voice our dissention, to make our voices heard like we never have before. To announce, loud and clear, to all our elected representitives, that if they do not espouse our conservative values, they are fired and will join the ranks of the unemployed because we no longer accept Democrat Lite in place of true conservatism.

It can be done but the question remains; do we have the stomach for a social revolution?
