How About the Conservatives Learning Something from McCain?

‘Real’ conservatives should perhaps understand something.

There are quite of few people to whom the War trumps everything.

Not you obviously, but many.

And because of that they are willing to put up with your childish, self-destructive purity campaigns. They even go so far as to try to warn you that you are approaching the cliffs of despair at almost warp speed, and suggest that perhaps an historical review of where precisely your ‘movement’ is at this point might be in order.

Your response — We don’t listen to or support heretics. Be gone and take your RINOs with you. We be fine.

At this point, I have concluded it’s not worth the effort. Sit on your hands. Bask in your righteousness. Talk amongst yourselves.

Your day is done. The ‘movement’ is dying. You can’t see that because you don’t want to see that. But others see it all too clearly. Even some ‘real’ conservatives. Reagan who you profess to idolize, would be able to see that. McCain is merely a symptom of the bigger problem; he is not THE problem itself.

You want to see where you are going as a political force ? Where your final destination must invariably be given your ‘druthers’.

Look at California and the Republican Party there. A rump force that is pushed around at will and is the butt of jokes, because it represents about 40% of the population base on a good day. And it gets less viable with each passing year.

But it’s PURE.

Gimme an amen.
