Gird your loins, conservatives
There is no time to lick wounds, point fingers, and wallow in post-election mud.
I’m getting a lot of moan-y, sad-face “What do we do now, Michelle?” e-mails.
What do we do now? We do what we’ve always done.
We stand up for our principles, as we always have — through Democrat administrations and Republican administrations, in bear markets or bull markets, in peacetime and wartime.
We keep the faith.
We do not apologize for our beliefs. We do not re-brand them, re-form them, or relinquish them. We defend them.
We pay respect to the office of the presidency. We count our blessings and recommit ourselves to our constitutional republic.
We gird our loins, to borrow a phrase from our Vice President-elect.
We lock and load our ideological ammunition.
We fight.

First assignment for fiscal conservatives in Washington:
1) Oppose the Democrats’ next stimulus boondoggle.
2) Oppose Obama’s windfall profits tax proposal.
3) Oppose new bailouts for states deep in debt.
4) Oppose new foreclosure prevention measures that will simply provide perverse incentives for borrowers to walk away and delay a needed market correction.
5) No more federal loan guarantees for corporations (especially in light of this.

Too funny: This post has been linked by French newspaper, Le Monde. Their headline:
“Contre-attaque: Les Républicains se préparent à une longue lutte.”
Oui.

OK. I’ve read enough. The liberals will still be there a week from now. I’m going to take a break now and relax. This way, I can tune out all the libs and media doing their obama jingle dance.
Purplepeep and Wareagle, THAT is what I
am hoping for. Thank the Lord above that
they don’t have a 60 vote Majority. I for one will be even more vocal to my representatives. I was one of the 5,000 to 10,000 that marched on Sacramento with fake pitchforks and the cry, `Can you hear us NOW?’ when they wanted to pass idiot Smog Check II laws. Oooo, you should have seen them peeking out the windows. The Public was on to them and why that tactic was only for Libs.
Harumph. Hoist on their own. It was GREAT. I see those days ahead for Nancy with the Laughing Eyes….
If he’s a lousy president, the Democrats will have to reach that conclusion on their own, and throw him out on their own. I truly believe that any criticism we offer from here on will just firm up his support.
An analogy: if your daughter is obsessed with a guy who is clearly no good for her, the worst thing you could do is criticize him. She’ll hang on to him long after she realizes that you’re right, just to save face.
There is no questions that Obama is compelling and his wife is beautiful and his two daughters are darling, but can he do better than vote “present”?
Oh, Muffy, I do say that I simply can not wait to view the comedic presentation that SNL will present to us this weekend which will negatively reflect upon President-elect Obama!
I hear it is all the rave amongst the lower-class peoples.
“beautiful“… no question?????
The president of Russia is already presenting a challenge to Obama. So much for the world liking us.

I think we need to whine, complain, kick and scream every blasted step of the way and fight him at every opportunity. I think we need to amplify his failures and downplay any success until he makes Bush look like Washington.
I believe that we absolutely have to do this for the good of the country. He and what he represents (Collectivism, loss of sovereignty, the end of American exceptionalism) need to be stopped and repudiated or we truly are finished.
You have a good point…
BTW anyone know if this is true or just some MSM junk. Check out 4th para in this article mentioning Palin’s shopping spree
http://www.newsweek.com/id/167581/page/1
I blame the education system and reality tv. And to re-phrase MO – For the first time in my life, I am ashamed of (the majority of voters in) my country (for their ignorance). Hard thing to say.
Never believe anything in the MSM. Paragraph 5 probably covers it.
Beautiful? Are we thinking of the same woman? Maybe I just look too deep and see the ugliness within the ole hag. I’ll agree the daughters are charming……for now but, they will grow up and be the same as mo. MM said for us to pay respect to the office of the presidency and I’ll go that far but I don’t think I have it in me to respect the president…….ever. Especially when he takes away our guns by making ammo too expensive to take a kid out shooting for the afternoon. and reduces our paychecks to share with those that don’t feel like working. God help us Pleassssse!!!
You guys are blaming everyone but yourselves.
And this means?
Um, yeah………this means?
Don’t blame me when the shiza hits the fan- I voted for McCain/Palin!!!!!
I think I’ve just created a new slogan! Bumper Stickers anyone?
I can recall saying this before:
30 Pieces Of Silver is a LOT prettier than Michelle Obama is!
No doubt, but where’s the pie?
The democrats’plan worked perfectly. They forced McCain on us by cross voting in the primary; knowing how much the base dislikes him. And then used every crooked trick in the book to get their candidate in.
Republicans are too “nice”, and where exactly does that get them?
Right here.
Cap and trade, no coal, no oil, no nukes. He’s already more stupid than Bush.
As an unrepentant Viet Nam veteran the voters slapped me in the face with Jimmy Carter, Arkansas White Trash and now this.
As I have said in other posts
Old Glory has been retired. I fly the Gadsen.

I’m thinking of hooking an old bicycle up to a generator and pedaling away to keep the lights on in my house. It’s only temporary until Obama’s alternative energy kicks in….that shouldn’t be long huh?
Oh goody, Whoopi Goldberg has decided to unpack her bags! That is an outrageous statement coming from a U.S. Citizen, unless she is not really a U.S. Citizen.
I’m getting a horse. Office is only 6 miles from home. 5 if I jump a couple drainage ditches.
No Offence Michelle but isn’t that what you guys have been doing?
Has it stoped anything before? No, Did it stop our next president, no. Fact is this election was decided from the start and the fact of the matter is Mac DID NOT try and win, if anything as soon as he got ahead he did something stupid to fall backwards. The US is now part of the “international community” and as such leaders that are in line with said line of thought are what we have gotten.
Clinton gutted the military and allowed corruption to seep in to all aspects of US life, Bush was an incompatant who’s refusal to fight our wars like real ones has led to the bulk of what we had left in dire need of repair or replacement as the desert enviroments have wrecked horrors on our supply chain. Is it any surprise Obama won. Sure this all sounds nuts but who really runs this country?
Not the people.
So what would you suggest?????
B-HO must have woken up feeling like
OJ Simpson today-
or Bill Ayers-
I’m sure he laughed himself to sleep last nite.
Suckas!!!
@525 Whatever is needed to safeguard the state and to form a better order.
It may be treasonus talk in a manner, but the fact of the matter is if the feeling I have in my gut is right, it may be the only option left, or will be next to submitting. Obama is a stalinist and a statesmen, not a leader and he is playing a great deal of dangerous games based off of his emotions and those of others.
In fact after his election the Russians now are moving SRBM’s on its western Boarders.
I’ll say it-
Find it weird that B-HO’s Nevada campaign director died suddenly last
Sunday? While driving alone?
Not to mention the G-mother-
They’re stacking up, it’s as if a Clinton was back in office!!!
Ordering my IMPEACH OBAMA stickers tonite.
i’d almost forgotten…
30, you owe us pie!
and yeah, she’s hotter than MO
maybe i’ll get a slice of cheesecake for that? 
I don’t know, I think he had that look of “OH S–T” about him.
ArizonaNeanderthal, thank you for your sacrifices for our freedom. I too will fly the Gadsen, but next to Old Glory. It is as important as the Pledge of Allegiance – a near future target on their list. And yes, an armed society is a polite society.
Carl Cameron is reporting Sarah Palin didn’t know that Africa was a continent.
LOL, Yep
I saw that crap. Carl CAMORON is a tool.
A message to the RNC, Time to begin the PURGE
The Victory of President-Elect Barack the Obamanation can be blamed and laid squarely at the feet of the RNC and our leaders in Congress,
It has been said from the beginning that McCain should not have been our choice, but the RNC staged the Primaries so that it could be no other. After all it was his turn.
What has it cost us? A man who palls around with terrorists and is a student and a believer in the teachings of Marx is now our President.
A man who has pledged to cut Billions from the military budget in the middle of a war, and who will systemically dismantle the greatest medical system in the world will have free reign, with a congress that believes they can run the banks and the Oil Business at least as well as they have run Medicare and Social Security.
What were we told conservatism is dead! It can’t win only elections run on bipartisan middle of the grounders can, yet where conservative ideas were on the ballot they won. Even in California Gay Marriage was defeated. I am sure that will last until The Obamanation appoints his two supreme court judges.
The Party must pay for this debacle. It is time for the party to split in two or be purged of the Rinos that now are in charge,
No where did they fight on the principles of the Constitution, no where did they point out the tell tale problems that our new President represented as the threat they are to our freedoms and economic system.
We must pledge NO support to the fools that now represent us. They had the power to fight this battle and chose not to.
The only people that spoke out were the ones on the Radio and their voices are now about to be silenced by the fairness doctrine.
There are 57 Million people who voted against the oncoming onslaught, and millions more who would have if they were given a reason or a person to stand behind.
We the base, the believers in the constitution and who understand the difference between right and wrong must now mobilize to prevent the destruction of our nation.
RNC

I just read over earlier parts of this thread.
Wow. Who are the a$$clowns trying to convince us that the Conservative movement is dead and that the GOP will not get anywhere with us?
Guess what, guys. WE with be coming back with a righteous wind behind us. And when we do, we will expose liberals congressmen for the anti-American, welfare-socialists that they are.
The libs declared war a while back. On fellow Americans! Time to engage and obliterate them.
I feel like I’m living in Bizarro World. Hume, Kristol last night, Cameron and ROVE tonight on two shows, Tommy Franks now are all fawning over The One. What the hell is goin on? Is there a November Surprise coming?????????
This is a little off topic, but where was Joe Biden last night?? Was he in Chicago?
If we are to assign blame, I blame…Ditka. If Mike Ditka would have taken the Republican Senate candidacy in 2004, he would have won and Obama would be a no-name state Senator. Iron Mike, how could you let us down this?
We have to do something drastic before we’re a smaller minority than we are now. Who will lead us?
SCOTS WHA HAE
Nope, they aided and abedded. The real problem is complete loss of morals and celebration of all things disgusting.
I noticed that, too. Lack of principle is what caused this mess, and so it goes.
He was on stage after The ONe spoke
Minnesota is doing a recount. Frankin’s gonna be a Senator. We are in Bazzaro World.

how do I get a trackback?

I just got this in an email. Unbelievable!
A New Jersey eighth-grader was rebuffed at school over his Halloween costume — sandals, a robe, a fake beard, and a crown of thorns.
Alex Woinski of Paramus came to school dressed as Jesus while other students wore witch, ghoul, and devil costumes. Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel points out the youngster was sent home.
“Seems to me there’s a direct discrimination here simply because of the Christian viewpoint. Satan is in, apparently; Jesus is not,” he contends. “This is obviously a blatant attempt to discriminate against religion, and particularly Christianity.”
Staver says something needs to be done to educate the educators on the Constitution. “Sometimes if education doesn’t work, litigation does,” he adds. “Sometimes school officials only listen when it affects their pocketbook. This is such a case that needs to catch the school’s attention.”
The youngster said school officials told him to go home because his costume might offend other students and it also disrupted the education process.
If dissent is patriotic, I’m really looking forward to being patriotic!
Democrats Firmly in Control of Congress but Wary of Overreaching
Just saw this on foxnews.com
The Dems may be wary of going too far too fast, but just like Joe Biden’s mouth, they won’t be able to stop themselves.
Republicans have to learn to stand up for the principles of limited government, individual freedom and Capitalism without compromise.
From day one of the new Congress, they should do everything in their power to oppose, obstruct and prevent Obama from acheiving any legislative victories – just as Democrats have always done to Republican Presidents. This should be done to defend the core principles of this country from creeping Collectivism.
This should be done without any attempt to compromise or appease the press, the Democrats or Obama’s rabble. I doubt that the party’s leaders have the backbone for it, but this is what’s necessary.
Democrats always follow this strategy and Republicans always bend to them. Our leaders must reverse this pattern and exercise whatever power they have without apology.
Ive been lurking here for months, reading what others have been saying, but not saying much myself.
I think it’s about time I stood up and joined the fight, now that it’s getting serious and all.
