On the Warpath

Make no mistake about it; conservatives in these great United States today have been betrayed. Not just by a president who has not followed through on promises of fiscal restraint, or by a Congress who collectively will not really tackle the tough issues of immigration and Social Security, but by the nearly entire Republican Party. Party leaders have chosen upholding a collective reputation rather than real leadership in the form of, "I am going this way, and you all can follow or be left behind." Conservatism as an idea, and as a movement, has generally held the correct thesis and position on most every important issue, but now we are at a crossroads. We are being told now that the candidates in the upcoming midterms might not be very likable to us, but they are certainly better than the alternatives. Since when did the attitude of, "well our guy might be bad, but theirs is even worse," become acceptable to we conservatives? Seriously now, we have been the base of support for the Grand Ole Party time and time again, but we are being fed a line of crap, especially this year. Do-nothing politicians, spineless politicians, and unqualified politicians are being put on the ballot as (R)'s this year, and we are left without a choice. It is high time for conservatives to stand up and demand better. And if the Republicans won't do it, then we as a group must do it ourselves!
This blog will serve as a forum of ideas, opinions, and pontification on the entire political spectrum, but will focus on Republican politics, policies, and politicians at all levels, as well as the conservatives within America. Alas, life is not all politics, and so this will not be just politics, but rather a larger commentary on life in general and providing a common sense take on whatever is gripping the nation any particular day. But, make no mistake, we are on the warpath, and we take no prisoners.
