Will Conservatives turn farther right?

"Was CPAC an Epic Fail?," by Patrick Poole at Pajamas Media, March 1 (thanks to Jerry Gordon):
[...] That the conservative movement has slid into complete irrelevancy was demonstrated by the absence of any ideas — nay, any discussion whatsoever — of several of the most pressing political issues of our day.

there was not a single panel on the War on Terror, the growing threats to free speech, or the cultural jihad underway in the West.

Meanwhile, GOP operative and Karl Rove confidante Grover Norquist, who is single-handedly responsible for opening the doors of political power for convicted al-Qaeda fundraiser Abdurahman Alamoudi and Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Sami Al-Arian, was given the honor of introducing House Minority Leader John Boehner on Friday morning.




If this year’s CPAC is an accurate indicator, conservatives have many lonely years ahead in political exile. Bereft of ideas and locked in an abusive relationship with a political party that has shown nothing but contempt for conservatives, CPAC represents what is wrong with the conservative movement. In terms of representing the way forward for conservatives, CPAC is an epic fail.

...grassroots discontent might lead to the overthrow of the “official” leadership of the conservative movement, including CPAC. In my humble opinion, that change couldn’t come quickly enough.

Rush's type of conservative, is freedom of the individual, and that is not compatible with islam. We need to show conservatives how islam is really facist and controlling with freedom of speech gone. This facade created by those like Norquist need to be exposed for the lies he has tried to spead about islam as the rop it has never been.

Some of the leaders inthe Republican party as well as officials in the Bush administration have close ties or friends to some 'modern' Muslims. In spite of all the jihad violence, the muslimin's violence in the west, they still refuse to believe that the engine behind all this is islam.

I know exactly what you mean.
When Former President Bush used to come out of a meeting holding hands with the "King" of Saudi Arabia like they were walking off a kindergarden playground, I'd get sick.

I do not expect the right to embrace the politically correct ideas of the left. This is what Bush did. Thus he helped to destroy the conservative movement, he and all his hangers-on, like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc.. These are people who should know better. Shame on all of them!

"I believe that Bush did it not out of political correctness but because, as a Christian, he believes that all religions are good."

What you are describing is not Christianity per se, but post-modern Christianity corrupted by PC MC.

In prior centuries, most Christians had little difficulty in condemning, damning and even physically suppressing what they thought were pernicious ideologies. What's different about the 20th and 21st centuries? PC MC.

Just as nost conservatives have become corroded by PC MC, so have most Christians throughout the West.

But if Bush thought that a religion that conflicts with our Bill of Rights is good then he failed to live up to his presidential oath and "protect" the Constitution. He's perfectly free to associate with various Muslims but to refuse to speak the truth about a doctrine that continues to seek OUR destruction was a dereliction of duty. Maybe Bush wasn't as bad as some others but his refusal to confront the truth about Islam - and to force Americans to confront it as well - makes him a terrible president.

the truth will out and the duplicitous Norquist will be exposed sooner or later -- hey, there's an idea! Perhaps the first order of business should be making it 'sooner.'

How naive we were (or I was, anyway) back in 2000, when W barely won the close call in Florida, based on his pandering to Muslims, at Norquist's advice -- and the irony, they flocked to him because he spoke against the 'racial profiling' of Muslims and the 'secret evidence' -- Can you imagine? Bush chastising Clinton for being mean to Islamocrazies?

...conservatives hate paying taxes more than they love the Constitution.

Muslim terrorist supporter and fundraiser Sami-Al Arian was given the honor of introducing House Minority Leader John Boehner on Friday morning is nothing but a horrific slap in the face of what our country stands for and the utter moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the Conservative movement.

Bush may be a four letter word at CPAC but CPAC, conservative activists and Republican party leaders have learned nothing from Bush's failures. Without a doubt, the Bush family has had long-standing and deep financial ties to America's jihadist enemies. Had I known the extent of it, I would never have voted for Bush in 2000. Unbeknownst to me, Bush campaigned with convicted Islamic Jihadist, University of South Fla. computer science Professor Sami Al Arian. Al Arian pledged he would work Florida's mosques in order to get out the Muslim vote for Bush. Grover Norquist later crowed, it was "the Muslim vote" that delivered Florida in the tightly contested race here in Fla.

I and millions of conservatives had neglected my study of Islam. Yet, conservative activists and Republican leaders -- radio talk show hosts, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc. -- bought Bush's politically correct lies, hook, line and sinker. Still do. Either Republican and conservative leaders are as lazy as they portray leftists and leftist journalists, or worse, the conservative movement is morally bankrupt!

Limbaugh is largely to blame for this. Limbaugh carried water for this traitor for better than seven years. He still does! Why won't any conservative of stature -- or any diminutive conservative -- tell Rush Limbaugh he is a moron? I hate to say it but yes, Limbaugh is an imbecile.

If the majority of conservatives were anti-Islam, Bush would not have been elected the second time, because the Republicans would have found a better candidate.

If the majority of conservative politicians were anti-Islam, we would have heard something from them by now: all we have so far is two -- Tom Tancredo and Jon Kyl (and even these two we cannot be sure are not more or less of the asymptotic Glenn Beck variety

This is only the latest indicator that conservatism is not the way to bring about positive change in the west, or at least in the USA. Conservatism, as Joseph Farah maintains, is a rear-guard, reactive movement, and is easily made irrelevant by events and, as Richard Viguerie has said, by infiltration from feau-cons practicing taqqiya, such as the Bushes, Norquist and most of the Republican elite.

On the same night Limbaugh was offering the keynote address to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Rush drew criticism from an unlikely source: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.

In a little-noticed interview Saturday night, Steele dismissed Limbaugh as an “entertainer” whose show is “incendiary” and “ugly.”

the new RNC chairman’s extraordinary comments won’t sit well with the millions of conservative listeners Limbaugh draws each week, and Steele aides scrambled to limit the damage Monday morning


Monday on his show, Limbaugh said: "You know who needs a little leadership? Michael Steele and those at the RNC."

"It turns out we're the leaders”


Republicans face repercussions for criticizing Limbaugh.

“When a Republican did attack him, he had to turn around and come back and basically said that he's apologizing and was wrong,” Emanuel noted.

He was referring to Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) who last month took a shot at Limbaugh to POLITICO only to appear on his program the next day and plead momentary “foot-in-mouth disease.” Conant, the RNC spokesman, didn’t say whether Steele would go on the show.

So who sets conservative priorities? Michael Steele claims he is party chairman. He criticized Rush Limbaugh and nobody noticed.

Will Chairman Steele now be required to apologize to Leader Limbaugh?

Steele's an aashat, any RNC Chairman that hopes the president succeeds on his policies and doesn't realize he just made the case of why even have a republican party is a complete moron!

What a zero!
