rssThe New Conservative Hierarchy

Ken Vogel previews CPAC by highlighting the new power and prominence of people like Erick Erickson of RedState, Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots, and Andrew Breitbart, who don’t share the baggage of the leaders who “flocked to Washington after their efforts culminated in the election of President Ronald Reagan in 1980.”
It’s worth reading the whole thing for quotes from standby conservative leaders like Grover Norquist and ACU’s David Keene acknowledging — for perhaps the last time — that the conservative movement blew it in the Bush years and the new blood is welcome. (Denying Bush and all his works was a major theme of CPAC 2009.) It’s also worth reading between the lines. For all of the chest-pounding about new leadership, really only Sarah Palin has tried to write the conservative establishment, represented at CPAC, out of the movement. Newt Gingrich, who horrified Tea Partiers in 2009 by endorsing Dede Scozzafava in NY-23, (and also endorsing TARP in 2008) is back at CPAC with a prime speaking slot. And Tea Party leaders are clearly relishing the chance to meet these leaders on new, solid footing — not really pushing them out of the way.

Tea Party people are nutballs and if they are joining the Republicans, it just proves that they aren't an independent voice for change, they are joining the problem, not offering a solution.

Hitler and his Nazi stooges were ardent revisionists of history. The Fascist republican party of America are trying very, very hard to revise their miserable failure record by using Nazi propaganda, McCarthyism, and juvenile jingoism. Go to: http://www.oldamericancentury.org/14pts.html, http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Propaganda, http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism, and read “The 12 Year Reich” by Richard Grunberger for some insight.

Having people like Breitbart or Erickson in positions of “new power and prominence” is NOT something to be proud of. It casts as dismal a shadow for the GOP as the Bush Legacy has… conservatives will definately see that truth in the fullness of time, just like they did with Bush. But having made such an eager effort to forget, they've turned to coked up wackos like Breitbart so that he can shape, edit and voice-over reality for them.
I actually find it quite sad that the right has immersed itself in the insanity of so many conniving propagandists who circulate bold-faced lies with no sense of conscience or review. Again, turth cannot be suppressed, so they will see with their own eyes how they have betrayed themselves, and what they have turned into.
To put in terms most of these shmucks might understand, the GOP has become the very Beast it claims to fear so deeply. Plug into the new identity… Plug into O'Keefe's “weaponized” journalism, and kick back on Twitter with Breitbarts brainwashed Moonie kids.
As with Bush, its a choice you made, and you will have to own that fact when you see the kind bleak world you create with it.
Keep watching that FoxNews and reading those fallacious blogs… as people who would base public policy on doctored internet video, you have nothing to celebrate, and you betray the trust you have inherited.
You have become the very Big Brother you pretend to oppose, and your reliance on doctored hidden-camera video (now, a centerpiece of the Breitbart “Ministry of Truth”), as posted on the web, completely highlights that fact. Forget privacy, you've become the very intrusivness you claim to counter.
Double plus good, eh?
