Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama’s radical agenda
He beat the MSM and Johnny-come-latelys on red-flagging Barack Obama’s radicalism — from his alliances with Jeremiah Wright to Bill Ayers to Khalid Rashidi and more. Now, Sean Hannity is out with a new paperback that provides a detailed road map to rolling back and repealing Obama’s radical agenda. I’ve just started reading the book. Get your copy of “Conservative Victory” here. Book tour dates/events are here.
Sean will be coming out to the Rocky Mountain West this week — and I’m happy to be joining him in Salt Lake City tomorrow, Wednesday night, at a Borders event. More details here.

From Erick Erickson at RedState:
There is a whole chapter entitled “How The Republicans Lost Their Way.” In it, Sean does blame a lot of it on the failures of the Bushies and GOP to defend themselves against left-wing attacks. Amen. I can’t tell you how many of us got tired of carrying water for the GOP when it refused to do so itself.
But Sean goes beyond that. “The Republican Party needs to recognize these failures in order to correct them. We can cry unfairness all we want, but no matter what Democratic politicians do, Republicans cannot excuse themselves by pointing the finger at their rivals. The conservative movement needs to get its own house in order — both by cleansing the GOP of politicians who are mired in personal and professional scandals, and by stepping up and restating its case to the American people.”
I couldn’t have said it any better. “A the behest of President George W. Bush, the Republican Party also lost its way with the sweeping education reform bill Bush proudly called ‘No Child Left Behind.’ The bill was President Bush’s baby, but in spirit and in reality it was contrary to a fundamental conservative belief — that top down federal control is to be avoided and that throwing money at problems does not solve them.” And this came after an indictment of the prescription drug benefit.
Refreshing.
It’s not all diagnosis of problems. Sean delves into why it is so important that conservatives win — from beating spendthrifts within the GOP to the very real struggles with socialism and the appeasement mentality of the left. In fact, the first part of the book is a great summation of the very radical transformative agenda Obama and the left want to foist on the people against their will.
The last part of the book is a clear rejection of third parties and a call for conservatives to not just get involved, but to clean up their own house and take back the country.
It’s a quick read with some good ideas for what conservatives should do.
I appreciate the review copy and I really appreciate Sean Hannity being willing to write frankly about the problems in the GOP. He’s right about wayward conservatives and a GOP that lost its way.
That’s why again and again I pound the table encouraging you guys to support people like Danny Tarkanian, Ken Buck, Mike Lee, Marlin Stutzman, Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, Chuck DeVore, Karen Handel, and Nikki Haley. Not only can they win, but they are fundamentally conservatives before they are Republicans.

If we don’t defeat amnesty, we might win in 2010, but never more after that.
Well Michelle, I hope you and Sean has lots of security. Be safe. The code pink group might show up like they did with Karl. I really worry about all consertivities out in public.
L
Sean Hannity with Mark Levin & Rush Limbaugh add true voice to our hopes.
If ony he stays away from Newt & Michael Steele –
Is Hannity going to be promoting Nuisance “Newt” GinGrinch for president on this tour?
#1 item only? Let’s see…
- Put the donks back into Disloyal Minority status in the House in 2010.
Everything else flows from that.
Is Hannity going to come over to our side in fighting progressives who control the GOP? Or is he going to again criticize conservatives for splintering the party?
Get rid of the McCain-Bush-Kennedy cult controlling the GOP and Republicans will be united again. Horse before the cart Sean.
I think addressing the birthright citizenship issue should be a higher priority than just amnesty.
We’ve been fighting against amnesty since, well, RR signed the first one into law.
@Regulus #5
That’s irrelevent if the House continues to be populated by RINOs.
Agreed that wresting some measure of control is important; but, we have to work to support true conservative candidates and those who are actually going to be responsive to their constituents.
The amnesty and Crap/tax issues are huge. But there is so much more. We must find a way to repeal the Health insurance travesty. We must get the House and Senate back to sanity. We must find a way to let the brain-dead morons out there who still support Obama know who he REALLY IS. Then, we must lead the traitors away in handcuffs and throw away the keys.
Destroying the progressive machinery is mandatory, not just on the political level but on the cultural level. Especially on the cultural level.
letget#2 Boy did I butcher conservatives or not? Need a bit of coffee!

Great for Sean! I wish him well on his book tour and for many, many sales – the more people who read his book, the better off we’ll be come the November election.
On my list:
Stop feeling depressed about what is happening to the country I once knew, and to pay no heed to the MSM headlines which claim health care and the Democrats are on the rise. They aren’t.
To trust in my fellow countrywo/men to ferret out the truth amid the Leftist media’s lies, and then vote accordingly come the 2010 and ’12 elections.
We need a constitutional amendment requiring 90% majority for tax increase and only a 40% minority for spending and tax decreases.
When he gets rid of Bob Beckel from his show every night, I’ll get his book…
I want a smaller federal government.
(I am not a Sean Hannity Republican. He’s making noise about Scott Brown being presidential material. And he gets really upset about the Tea Party crowd not being willing to support Republicans who aren’t up to snuff.)
Ha! I know… for a while there I thought they had dumped Combs to make way for “Hannity and Beckel.”
Add Al Sharpton, Newt Gingrich, and Palin/McCain.
How about Pat Buchanan? Tired of him, too.
My number one agenda when the Republicans (Conservatives) take back the Congress is to DEFUND Obamacare and MANY Government agencies. I would do the Dept of Education as the second source of SAVINGS of tax dollars!
#1 Drastically shrink the size of the federal government.
Watched this Youtube speech w/ Michael Medved last night. He promoted NOT throwing out the RINOS based on Reagan’s theory that if you vote w/ me 70% of the time you’re NOT my enemy.
I’m torn. I think it depends on the urgency of the 30%…like Shamnesty!
Salem hosted “America Unplugged” at Houston Baptist Univ. on 3/16/20.
The event is 1 hr. 30 min. in length.
It features Mike Reagan, Michael Medved, and TX Gov. Rick Perry.
(Medved’s speech is at 20 min. mark)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-kign-nYnU
To ALL potential CONSERVATIVE candidates out there in the Republican Party and Tea Party… Upon announcement of your candidacy, campaign money and volunteer support will lift you to victory in November. Don’t hold back. Run for office. We are ready for you to lead.
Tired of:
Beckel
Hernando Revolver
Newt
Buchanan
#1: Repeal the 16th Amendment and replace the IRS with the Fair Tax.
To some observers, that may seem like a strange place to start, but it’s really not. Many other dominos would start to fall if we start there…
Our economy would improve.
Off-shore money would flow back into our country.
Illegal aliens would start paying taxes.
It would begin to unite the country, rather than divide the country as our current tax system does.
It would begin to promote a capitalist thought process, rather than a socialist/communist thought process.
It would force a re-evaluation of the “Health Care Reform” bill, since there would no longer be an IRS to enforce the mandate.
It would free churches from the unconstitutional amendment that LBJ added when he was a member of Congress. (The budget amendment that limited the free exercise of religious speech in regards to what is said about politicians). President Reagan reminded us that Alexis de Tocqueville noted:
Our country was made great in part by church pulpit speeches that were not afraid to call politicians out for their unrighteousness. LBJ didn’t like that, and effectively silenced that criticism by using an unconstitutional amendment to a budget bill and by using threats from the IRS. Do away with the IRS, and you do away with that unconstitutional restriction on religious free speech.
And with free speech returned to churches, the moral compass of our nation and our government will turn back to righteousness. We will eventually pass a sanctity of human life amendment, protecting both the unborn and seniors.
I could go on, but in my opinion it all starts with repealing the 16th amendment and passing the Fair Tax.
Totally LOVE:
Crowder
Cupp
Carlson
Coulter
Hmmm…all start w/ “C”…just say’n.
Hnnity seems to support the same tired crowd. I’m ready to drop Palin-About time she made a clear concise opinion on the illegal immigration crisis. Just closing the border spiel does NOT cut it! If she can’t come out for full scale knock down of this effort to import democratic voters then she can go back to Alaska and stay there! The death of the rancher is a perfect opportunity to echo the feelings of ignored Americans who have SCREAMED for ending this influx of country killers.
It’s now or never as far as I am concerned.
Of the four you mentioned, Coulter looks the best in a little black dress.
Just say’n……
I don’t know, I kind of like it.
Consertivities. To engage in acts of conservatism.
Simple list of 10:
1. Repeal the 16th Amendment.
2. Repeal the 17th Amendment.
3. Enact term limits on Congress.
4. Implement the FairTax.
5. Close the borders.
6. Shut down half of the departments of the Federal Government. Start with Ed, Hud, FDA, Energy, HHS, Labor, Interior, DOT, and DHS.
7. Cut off all domestic subsidies, domestic.
8. Suspend all foreign subsidies until we sort out who are real friends are.
9. Restrict voting rights of those who receive welfare for one full election cycle beyond their time of assistance.
Finally,
Remove ourselves from the UN and evict that corrupt body of mindless, America-hating leeches.
My List:
1. Lock Down our Border to stop ALL illegal cross border activity until we can establish a check and balance system that protects our laws and citizens.
2. Eliminate the laws that create “protected” or special classes. This is the foundation that socialism is standing on. All Diversity, Affirmative Action, Hate Crime and race oriented laws need to be validated by constitutional review. Even if someone thinks it is a necessary law, it must be discarded if it creates a special privileged class where laws are applied unequally.
3. Voter ID card. We MUST protect the foundation of this republic by eliminating the obvious fraud in our voting system. This will stop dead people, illegals and fictional characters from voting. It will also eliminate the massive voter fraud from those who vote in more than 1 state during elections (Florida + NY,Ohio,VA etc).
What I see is the Dems have been successful in labeling the Republican party. We are identified with racism, homophobia, hate, anti environment, pro evil corporations, pro murder by gun, forcing women to have babies against their will, war mongers, and anti little guy and have nots.
None of that is me and I would wager is not the vast majority of the Republican party. But look, people here are saying amnesty immigrants would all vote Democrat just like all blacks vote Democrat or all gays, or all jews, or all young people.
Why is that? Becasue we have been labeled. Soros and his henchmen have been doing that for years. Who brought in Civil Rights for blacks? No one will say Republicans, they will say LBJ. What a crock. Who ended slavery? Who supports Israel against fanatical Muslim hate groups.
We are losing that battle big time. Most Hispanics and blacks would actually identify more with the Republicans than Dems. So why do 85% vote Dem? The sad part is the story of Republicans is not true. The MSM propaganda machine has been in full swing.
Make inroads there to change that view and Republicans will win every election. Unemployed people don’t understand that freebies are not free. It costs them jobs and makes them dependent on the government. No they think the rich white people have too much and they want it redistributed. Why not? If I had nothing and someone said they would give me something, I would think that would make my life easier.
Our message is not getting out.
AGREED!
The BIGGSET VICTORY for conservatives this year WILL occur Aug. 25, AZ primary when they forcibly retire King Weasel, John McCain!
August 24, sorry, wouldn’t want anyone getting the date wrong……
Addition to my list:
a. Slash Spending, foreign and domestic.
#29 ACHefty, I Agree. I would also add if you get public assistance you get drug tested….
Why would anyone want to read Hannity?
Oh well, different strokes, for different folks I guess.
I’m reading Crash Proof 2.0 by Peter Schiff. He predicted everything that happened in 2006, exactly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I0QN-FYkpw&feature=player_embedded
This video says it all……
T-Bone is corrct that the 90% saturation of the media by leftist propaganda is our biggest obstacle. I don’t know what can be done about it other than turning it off, refuting it when it comes up and educating others as to the outright dishonesty of the State Run Media.
Bring bodyguards.
Getting SCOTUS to clearly tell the Congress and Obama that the Federal Government has no power to force people to engage in an economic activity against their will. I nominate Alito to invite Obama to SCOTUS for the personal reading by Alito himself. Obama can wear his black-leather jacket if he chooses.
Stopped watching Sean due to many of the reasons pointed out above…constantly having McCain on, Sharpton (who has no authority except for that afforded him through media exposure), Grahmmnasty and constantly saying “Let not your heart be troubled”. That’s just a start. How about grilling Palin for her support of McCain and Grahmm?
Setting aside the victory thing, I’d be pleased as punch is we could find even a few “conservatives” who have the common sense not to ask Obama to take over their own retreat, schooling and hectoring them.
I suppose hoping they would possess the additional basic common sense not to rush to every “Crisis Summit” setup Obama beckons them to attend is way too much to expect.
Frankly that would be as close to a “victory agenda” as I expect from these idiots.
Hannity often claims that he is a “conservative” first, Republican second citing that he is registered in the Conservative Party as proof. Then he goes off and defends the progressive GOP leadership against conservative critics.
Sean, being a conservative is about fighting for very specific principles, not which party you belong to. You have devised a clever new argument purporting to mean “principles over party” when it actually means “this party over that party”.
Our number one Conservative issue is elect Marco Rubio to US Senate from Florida.
After seeing this, I am retracting my earlier comment about Sean.
You forgot Crowley!
Dexter,
THX! LOVE Crowley too.
When she’s debates Colmes his eyebrow climbs to the top of his head!!!
Can’t believe he’s her bro.-in-law!
I know! Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall at that Thanksgiving dinner!
Love her!
Sean says a lot of things but when the game is on, he defends the progressives running the GOP against conservatives with the trite “party cohesion” arguments. He needs to stand for conservative principles when it counts. The GOP would not be splintered if it weren’t for its corrupt progressive “reach across the aisle” leadership.
Conservative principles, like our Constitution, are very simple to express and to understand. Hannity is the voice of equivocation, circumlocution and progressive-enabling bafflegab.
Agreed. Without ‘anchor babies’ they lose the argument about separating families when illegals are deported.
I’ll have to find the link again, but there was an excellent analysis on why the drafters of the 14th Amendment (i.e. birthright citizenship or jus soli) might not have foreseen its current misuse, and if they had, how they might have drafted the law otherwise.
More often then not, I feel the same way.
But every once in awhile he gets it right.
Well, when we get a GOP that votes for a smaller, more efficient government 70% of the time I’ll consider his position viable.
But (and I know I am in the minority) I won’t vote (R) just to stop Obama.
I should add there is no IQ test to vote. Morons are allowed if they can figure out how to register and where their polling place is. That is what Acorn does for them.
And buses them there with sandwiches and refreshments on board.
Michael Medved is the Republican’s version of Frank Rich, former movie critic-turned-political pundit. It is important to remember that he was a 60s/70s left-wing radical activist. With guys like that leading the party, is it any wonder that they are splintering the party by reaching across the aisle?
I agree 100%.
Step back a minute and consider: even if we stipulate for sake of argument that the House is “populated by RINOs,” I’d still wager that if Republicans controlled that chamber in 2009 we wouldn’t be talking today about how to “repeal” donkey-care — because it wouldn’t have passed in the first place (remember, the Republican “no” vote was 100% — even the RINOs knew where to draw the line).
Similarly, if Republicans controlled the House, all of Hope-a-Dope’s other dreams of destruction — Cap’n Tax, blanket amnesty for “undocumented Americans,” massive tax hikes, adding more debt than the previous 43 presidents put together, etc. — would be DOA.
We’d have “the ounce of prevention,” instead of pondering “the pound of cure” like we are now.
It doesn’t matter how “pure” Republicans are in the legislature if they are standing on the sidelines and the donks are in command.
I agree with you in principle. The biggest opportunity for the tea partiers, for example, lies with the Republican primaries. There’s no better time to weed out the RINOs, no better time to stand up more conservative alternatives.
But even if some RINOs still slip through to the general election, as long as they count toward a majority in the House they can still serve a useful purpose. Even a squishy Republican majority that can’t advance a conservative agenda would be light-years ahead of Nancy Pelosi’s crowd and their agenda.
Ya know, Michelle is a friend of Hannity’s… shows up pretty regularly on his show on Wednesdays. I recall watching one exchange between them in which Hannity from the outset determined to find points of disagreement with her — and couldn’t.
Does that make Michelle a dirty, lousy RINO too, like standing too close to Satan and catching “McCain germs” has somehow made Sarah Palin “unclean?”
Phil, Michael Medved is hardly a leader of anything. He has a radio talk show and has opinions on things.
Whether you agree with him or not his is intellectually honest. People having different ideas is NOT splintering the party.
If you want the degree of Party purity you expect, then you will need a Hitler, Stalin or Pol Pot to lead it. Be careful what you ask for…..
Where are these simple to understand principles outlined and how are they being expressed to the American people? Its one thing to say low taxes but how does the average guy view that statement? Is it explained how that will benefit him?
Most likely he will hear CBS, NBC, and ABC tell him that low taxes will just mean no free lunches, no unemployment check, no free health care, no safety net, and rich people partying on their yachts while he struggles to feed his kids.
There are too many non sequitors in your too long dissertation to address. Let me make it clear that unlike you, I can think for myself. Your comment doesn’t parse. It is confusing and boils down to GOP propaganda that you believe is true because you say so. We have heard all of the RINO baffelgab a million times already and having you repeat it again doesn’t make it more persuasive.
And BTW, that Michelle and Hannity are friends is not an argument that trumps my arguments and statements. Michelle and Hannity have very big differences with the most important one being that when the game is on the line, Michelle is fighting for our side harder than ever. Hannity becomes the conduit for his GOP “progressive-enabling” friends into world. BIG DIFFERENCE.
Correction:
Can’t seem to figure out why Hannity has Beckel on…he’s a big Kool-Aid drinking Obama fanatic who makes all these snarky remarks to the conservatives on the panel–just says all the same old talking points as the other deluded dems. I turn off Hannity when he’s on. The other is Dem-Lite Gingrich, who’s just a weenie political wannabe for President – ugh!
I noticed that about Becket, too. But the same can be said of almost every Dem/Lib panelist, spokesperson on Fox. Not one of them can do anything more than spout the talking points from the DNC Memo of the Day (Cohms is a perfect example). The never have a reasoned reponse ot any well thought out question. I suppose if they did, they would not be Libs.
I would like to add that Hannity’s contoversy involving in Freedom Alliance cannot possibly be helping that charity. That said, if Hannity is not in any way profitting from his association Freedom Alliance then he has absolutely nothing to lose by severing all ties to that charity. That way he would immediately stop all accusations and the Freedom Alliance can begin to heal itself. If Hannity wants to support that charity he can do it the way everyone else does, by giving them money out of his own pocket and letting them be. What is his reason for staying involved if it’s hurting the organization?
Know your enemy.
Watch out Michelle! The conservative victory will be a lot more difficult when Obamapoo shuts down the Internet:

@Reg #56
It does matter. RINOs like McCain and Graham on issues like the stimulus and amnesty …. they might as well be D’s. They are certainly very quick to sell us out, as has been proven time and time again.
McCain-Graham-Snowe et al are the reasons most conservatives sit home.
We’ve been hearing the “half a loaf is better than no loaf” argument for years.
Medved is another advocate of amnesty. I was a listener until he went on a rant about how unhelpful to the GOP it was that some people were “incensed by immigration”. What followed incensed me so much I haven’t listened since. My response on his blog on Townhall follows:
We are not incensed by immigration. This is not immigration. This is cheap labor importation. We are incensed by the malfeasence of our elected representatives. We are incensed by the outright betrayal of our government. After the last amnesty in 1986 we were promised that this situation could not happen as there were sanctions to be imposed on employers who hired illegal aliens. Laws are worthless without enforcement. There has been no enforcement because corrupt corporations have spent millions bribing corrupt politicians to make sure there is no enforcement. They want cheap labor that is only cheap for them, it is costing the citizens dearly. Now we are told that it is impossible to do anything except give up the rule of law. We must surrender our sovereignty so that some can profit handsomely. You are obviously on the payroll also. I once respected your opinion. No longer.
Virginia Patriot: amen.
Less governing, more representing.
Less dependence creation, more responsibility encouragement (not responsibility enforcement).
Give back our right to say no.
*#1 agenda item for me is FULL enforcement of current immigration laws and an END to birthright citizenship; All else pales for keeping the United States united; Secession is on the horizon otherwise!
*I remain hopeful that Sean will someday see the light as MM has, and will become a consistent conservative, able to recognize the stark differences between a Jim DeMint and Mitt Romney; At present, he seems to want to cozy up to both, without calling out the differences; Romney last night praised Masscare, a mini version of what we are now faced with over Obamacare; He should be apologizing profusely for it; No “Conservative Victory” is possible if the war is waged by RINO’s.
Hannity is not even in the game for 2010. This year is about conservatives retaking the GOP. If we fail and the McCain-Bush-Kennedy people are still running the GOP, it just won’t matter. Big government one-world-without-borders Republicans retaking the government from big government one-world-without-borders Democrats is pointless. We’ve been there already with this bunch. Let’s try something else this time.
August 24. Defeat McCain.
My “conservative victory agenda item”:
*No Mitt Romney-at best a politician of flip-flopping magnitude of John Kerry, and yet many of his stances on issues (before he decided he wanted to be the Republican presidential nominee) are just as much if not more RINO than John McCain. That’s without even addressing the state-bankrupting government health insurance mandate he supported, which hardly makes him a fiscal conservative.
And even after his supposed “I’ve seen the light, I’m a real conservative, I promise!” moment, he still is openly hostile to one of our expressly stated Constitutional rights- the Second Amendment.
A politician’s stance on the Second Amendment is usually a good judge of how conservative they really are. Mitt Romney seems to think it’s about hunting and supports reinstating the ridiculous Assault Weapons Ban (hint:that puts him in the Clinton/Obama camp on outright ignoring part of our Constitution).
If conservatives and/or Republicans want to get anywhere in the future, faux-conservatives like Mitt “I didn’t join the NRA until I wanted to run for President” Romney are not the answer.
The Progressive Plague must be cured. It’s a terrible disease…..
The only sickness worse than the Progressive Plague is “the religion of peace.”
Yes – MrOlympia – you have just nailed it with your post!
Absolutely NO RINOs should be considered under any conditions for election/re-election, please!
