We could link every “O” to a site that shows Obama’s associations to Wright, Rezko, Ayers, and the other radical jackass thugs I mentioned before.

My collie says:

When you posted this, that is.

you’re on the money… visit my site and join the cause.

I also think that there are times when events beyond our control pay as large a part in the way things happen as the things we can control.

So perhaps a reaffirmation of basic principles and a search for new faces are good things to do after a loss, but this does not mean the party is fatally flawed in any way.

I’ll tell you what frightens me: I have brought up on HA a number of times the need for conservatives to support conservative intellectuals, and each time someone responded that I was either insecure, arrogant, elitist, or something in that vein. This anti-intellectualism in certain conservatives does not bode well.

True educational reform is needed to save this country, and that begins with conservative academics–as a college professor, the stupidest and most thoroughly indoctrinated students I get are going into education, journalism, sociology, or “women’s studies.” (I happen to also believe it means complete privitization of schools, but that may be a discussion for another time). That won’t happen if conservatives cry “elitist” every time someone discusses higher education–even if it is only a minority doing so, a loud enough minority can drown out other voices.

Anyone here realize “Dr.” Phil lost his license to practice psychotherapy about 19 years ago? For unethical behavior.

Oprah sure knows how to pick em.

Darn if that doesn’t sound familiar.

don’t think I didn’t consider it… but they are more commentary than news… however they are the places I go to for the most current headlines of the day.

My 5 required readings every day?

HotAir.com
Ace of Spades
Malkin
JawaReport
Drudge

I may just take your advice and add those…

Thumbs up. I said the same to one of my daughters last night. She’s a dual income family. I said get your kids out of public schools. She said she can’t. I told her to be prepared for mini-Marxists. She knows it’s true, but can’t make the break. She is an anti-Obama gal and voted McCain, but this is what we’re up against.

eventually some one here is going to ban me for this…

Oh I donno about that….
You may get a big hug outta me. Except for …

Act IV – Fight the Occupation Propaganda Wing

You left out HotAir and Michelle Malkin…. Dude!

Republicans haven’t been acting like conservatives… that’s clear. As much as I don’t want to navel gaze, I want less to go through the next 4/8 years like the democrats have, blaming everything on, and starting with, this president’s original sin. Let’s let his in-office decisions be the basis of our arguments.

Please, let us be better than the liberals on this. If we start this next era blaming ACORN, and BS credit card systems, and whatever else… it will make us look and feel petty. The future offers more opportunities for real, substantive arguments.

eventually some one here is going to ban me for this…

Too bad it will not be complete by the 2010 election.

You do not shop for clothing for a Woman. – It is presumptuous to do so.

Except on holidays, etc…

Besides, Sarah stopped at a WalMart…. you cannot get anymore conservative American than that.

Only Obama-voting “Republicans” and loser apostles of ‘The Oprah’ looking to score a free car and book on her show (that I’m sure will make their miserable ****ing lives all better) need self-analysis moments.

Conservatives Don’t! We’ll Be Back And Stronger Than Ever in 2010 an 12′! So Enjoy Your First & Last Term as President, Barky.

I indulged in wishful thinking. I underestimated the intensity of the Bush hatred (which spills over to Republicans in general, and conservatives in particular). I thought the media would pick up on the facts about Obama as they began to unfold instead of covering for him.

Mostly, I sat back and let others do the talking and the acting.

I was wrong.

Thanks for reminding us of Gorelick and Burglar.

Ya know? I’m starting to feel tin-foil hattish about everything.

Kini on Nov 6,2008 at 12:30AM.

Kini: Amen! Yes!:):):)

Seven Percent Solution on November 6, 2008 at 12:22 AM

I believe that you said it all.

Must I go on?

Kini on November 6, 2008 at 12:30 AM

Apparently………………… yes, like a drum beat, for at least the next two years.

Back up your message by actions. If you’re going to call yourself a conservative, then live by your values. You cannot be a conservative and vote for earmarks for your district. That’s like a sailor on liberty promising not to spend all their money while in port.

You need to have ideas that help people help themselves. See teach a person how to fish. You need to back it up with examples of success and how government needs to get outta the way of individual success. [See Joe the Plumber]

You need to allow the free markets to weed out businesses that don’t work and allow businesses to thrive without government intervention. Consumers make the best value based decisions.
You see it everyday when you go grocery shopping.

Take personal responsibility for your actions. Examples are not relevant, but apparent.

Must I go on?
