As I promised in my New Years Post, I am going to try and do a “The Ranting of a Conservatarian” post at least once a month. They will be a post or a rant on how I see the Conservative/Libertarian/Tea Party Movement is going. These are my thoughts and no one else’s.
For the past year or so I have seen some really destructive things going on on the right side of the aisle. We have become a Movement of following the Leader. Too many think that they are the ones that know everything and then we have people follow then. And hence we have factions going against other factions. Do not get me wrong, this has always happened and is part of the process. But lately I have seen too many Blog Wars, Twitter Wars and various other types of wars between those on the right. This does not help and will only keep our Movement from going forward. If you do not like someone , ignore them. Do not air the dirty laundry on Twitter, Facebook and blogs.
Another thing that worries me is that many think that we can change the Country in 1 or 2 elections, much less change the GOP in the same time. It has taken over 100 years to get where we are , and it will take much more than just a few elections to change the country around. The “I am taking my ball home” mentality is some is saddening. Or those that think we need a 3rd party to try and force the GOP more to the right. This will not work and will only give more power to our True Enemies, the Far Left that have taken over the Democrat Party.
I am all for lively debate and can appreciate other points of views, but I cannot tolerate the idiocy that has been going on. There are too many that think the Political Ideology is the same as Political Strategy. I know that if I had my wishes, the GOP would have Conan the Barbarian to come in and slay the Democrats. But in reality, we are a country that has many different views, and this also happens in the GOP. I may not agree or like a whole lot the John Boehner is doing, but the idiocy of taking him down was folly, And only made us look like a bunch of undisciplined clowns.
We need to get our heads out of our asses and go after who our True Enemies are. Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and the Far Left in the Democrat Party. We need to win elections and to do that we need to have more votes than the other side. Not divide ourselves. Divided we Fall, United we Stand. Who is going to want to vote for people that are in a war with each other.
I fear that we are dividing ourselves and will be walking the desert for a long time. I did not get into POLITICS to fight with those that are on my side. If you agree with me 70% , then I want you on my side, not on another front.
We must find better candidates that come from the Tea Party, Yes, we have some that got elected, but we have also lost many seats that could have been won with better candidates. Too many have stuck their feet in their mouths with ridiculous statements. We need to pick our candidates better.
Also we need to pick fights that we have a chance of winning. Sticking your feet in the sand on a suicide mission will not help our cause. We are all Political Junkies, unlike the rest of the country that cares more about who wins American Idol and Survivor. Which comes to one battle that we need to fight. We need to fight to gain back Pop Culture. We have neglected this for too long.
Look I am all for debate and trying to find the direction we need to go. But the incessant infighting and calls of “True Conservatives” and my dick is bigger than yours is asinine. And the use of RINO has become ridiculous and is used for anyone that does not agree with Me. WTF people.
OK back to the Bunker I go.
