just another blunt example of mr. "hope and change." from flip flops galore to playing a victim to now a quasi-agreement with the president on iraq! a truly fitting name because he hopes for your vote so he will change any which way he needs to go get it. bah!"Not so long ago, Barack Obama was the darling of the anti-war Left. On a host of national security issues –Iraq, Iran, government surveillance of terrorists – Obama preached a friendly gospel and was worshipped turn as a political “messiah.” The liberal grassroots, sensing a kindred spirit in the Illinois Senator, rewarded him with the Democratic nomination. Nothing could come between Obama and his base.
Now something has. In a word: reality. As he courts the national electorate, Obama can ill-afford to sing from the same activist hymnal that propelled him, ever so narrowly, past Hillary Clinton. So it is that to the hair-pulling dismay of his supporters, Obama is leaving the Left – for the moment, at least."
If you’re looking for pure-play opinion and link bait on sundry topics from Ann Coulter to Jimmy Carter/Hamas, you won’t find it here. What you will find is in-depth (often unabashedly technical) writing about the election, the polls, the strategy, and the issues. Our analysis will track truth and stay true to the numbers. But it will self-consciously serve a greater purpose — educating YOU to be your own political strategist and start doing something — whether that’s blogging about your local Congressional race or Democratic corruption in your state, organizing fundraising drives, and maybe even managing races or running for office yourself. Only a revival of civic engagement at the grassroots level will create a conservative future we want: one that is pork-free and robust in the defense of our country and its values. We can’t call a switchboard and wait for Washington to fix the mess. We have to do it ourselves, from the ground up, in every state.
We don’t think this alone will solve the activism gap. Anyone who tells you that they alone have the answer is fooling you. This is not “the Daily Kos of the right.” What we’re hoping to do is create momentum and an intellectual framework for action — because action ultimately starts with narratives and ideas. We want grassroots conservatives and libertarians to start believing that they can make a difference again — a sense all too many have lost. Only you – and not some well-funded 527 — can bring the movement into the future. Only when grassroots conservative have a direct stake in the future of the party are we effective. The Next Right is about creating a vision for a 21st century Republican Party and conservative movement.
we really need to regroup don't you think? we need to get back to basics. to what made a conservative, a conservative. we need be proactive, creative and use technology to our best advantage. we need to NOT concede, retreat, back down, or stay silent.
read up on the next right yourself. then go here to be notified when its up and running. we need this.
we all remember this despicable ad placed in the NYT the day before general petraeus' testimony 6 mos. ago before congress:
general petraeus became the victim of inexcusible personal and quite vicious attacks from the whackos at moveon.org and other ultra-liberal groups.
well, senator mitch mcconnell, (R) ky has provided a forum to say thanks from all of us who appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of this american hero. the senator has created a page on his campaign website where people can show their gratitude for Petraeus’ accomplishments in Iraq.
go there and sign the card. by the way, as the hearing progresses, i will be adding updates as needed especially if the code pinkos act stupid. hehe
and if you are interested, Tom Elia is keeping a protester interruption scorecard. :P
