3 The idea that conservatives cannot connect with Americans or accomplish anything unless they change their values is “malarkey,” — Joe Biden’s favorite word — according to Allen West, director of PJ Media’s Next Generation programming.
The former Florida Congressman spoke on Thursday morning at the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference, giving listeners a lesson on the fundamental role conservatism played — and will continue to play — in American history. He admitted that 2012 was a bad year for the GOP, but stressed that the movement must continue on.
“I’ll give it to you straight,” West said. “Last November we did take one on the jaw. But this movement and this fight is not determined by the punches that we take. We are defined by how quickly we pull ourselves off the mat and our perseverance.”
He stressed that the GOP must be the party of action, not “just give lip service to our principles.”
There was a tweet that Ted Cruz read on the floor during Rand Paul's filibuster.
It said something like...
#StandwithRand... "I'm a liberal who voted twice for Obama and I stand with Rand because these questions need to be asked on behalf of the people."
Liberty matters. ALWAYS.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
