Andrew Breitbart gave a great speech today, emphasizing his unrelenting fight with the progressive left and their “bulls**t” Alinsky tactics. He even says he has tapes of Obama from when he was in college that will expose how he and his radical buddies plotted while the rest of us slept. Can’t wait to see those videos.

Toward the end of his speech, he made a comment that I think is worth quoting:

I don’t care who our candidate is and I haven’t since the beginning of this. I haven’t! Ask not what the candidate can do for you, ask what you can do for the candidate! …

When I walk through CPAC or a I travel the United States to meet people in the Tea Party who care – black, white, gay, and straight – anyone that’s willing to stand next to me to fight the progressive left, I will be in that bunker.

And if you’re not in that bunker because you’re not satisfied with [a certain] candidate, more than shame on you! You’re on the other side!

We must support the nominee, and if it’s Romney, we must support him. Some of you have said otherwise, but I would agree with Breitbart that you are the enemy if you aren’t voting for the nominee. It’s all about defeating Obama once we get to the general and the only way to do it is with the Republican nominee, not some third party candidate. If your goal isn’t to defeat Obama, then you need some sense knocked in you.

I have great respect for Andrew Breitbart and mourn his passing, but have to disagree. Romney is the enemy, as long as he continues to push for Agenda 21 (and God knows what other anti-sovereignty initiatives).

I cannot side with a candidate who is the lesser not merely of two evils, but of two enemies of America, on the other side of the coin with Obama.

I will fight the enemy, not join.

I used to think the Right were the bullies and the Left were the defiant ones, struggling to find there way without bullying. I have been finding out over the last 3-4 years how backward that thought was. My family and friends don't know me anymore because I have NEVER been so fully, completely and wholeheartedly immersed in saving our Republic than now, and that feeling continues to grow and here's why. Listen please: There are MILLIONS of guys like me, I happen to be 49, 22-year USAF Vet, and a senior IT specialist at the DOD. We are energized by a voice coming from the trail that wasn't the same voice we've heard for 20 years. You know who's voice that is--the voice of a)ending the wars b)taking back our money and c)Restoring our Liberties, not necessarily in that order. Friends, there are millions of others like me (Ind & Dems also) who are at the disposal of the Republican Party! Yet there seems to be one small obstacle from getting that vote in November: Ron Paul.

Believe me when I tell you this: A ticket without Ron Paul on it will fail, and America will have her anarchy/civil war again.

There are statistics that show this...the idea came from an article somewhere - it is not my idea alone, but evidence is there that 'conservative media' even FOX profit most when liberals are in power.

The hotter the fight, the more money pours into the media coffers.

On that point I agree with Breitbart.... the new Democratic party is hard marxist left. They value ideology over human life. We see it happening surrounding Democratic adminstrations when human 'embarrasments' (male and female) suffer convenient demises. But this administration is brazen like no other. They are above and operate outside of or abuse the Law, Constitution, Bill of Rights, Courts, ignore budgets, accountability and audits and loot our treasury and taxpayers money as though they owned it.

And all the while the Republican party majority stands around in limpid, silent complicity like eunuchs at an orgy.

Breitbart, Drudge, Coulter, Will and the other Romney-pushers have squandered their credibility as conservatives and lost my trust. They claim to be secular, political, fiscal conservative, not social conservatives.

Yet, Romney is neither political or social conservative.

Romney governed as a liberal when he was a governor. Romney forced the churches to accept abortion and contraception as part of Romney care. He pushed gay rights, gay marriage and gay adoption through ruthless tactics.

Romney lied seven times during the last debate, lies in his ads, uses ruthless Alinsky leftist tactics. Romney will do anything to win an election.

Romney is a bishop or higher in Mormonism and wants the presidency for religious reasons, to fulfill a prophecy, to redeem Joseph Smith's murder and lost presidential ambition...as well as his father, George Romney's failed presidential campaign.

There are common threads between Islam and Mormonism (Moor-manism). Dr. Michael Youseff explains here: http://onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=1468930

Mormonism incorporates Islamic and Masonry symbols as did the Shriners, a the later offshoot of the Masons. http://vigilantcitizen.com/sinistersites/sinister-sites-temple-square-utah/

Obama is trying to undo the murder of his father Malcolm X (a Nation of Islam, black supremacist, Sunni Muslim covert) and to make the US into the 58th Islamic state.

There is very little religious, social and political difference between Romney and Obama.

The only problem with Breitbart's overall message is I don't want to go with War with American Left. I want to enlighten them with another viewpoint, but I don't want to force them into submission.

As a side note: If you don't vote, then you can't complain until after the next election in which you voted.

If Romney is the nominee and wins the presidency, I will complain as mush as I do about Obama, who I also didn't vote for.

Moderate is a code word that means the candidate is willing to play the game by the establishment rules, to trade favors, to wink, to bluster, spin and lie, to keep secrets, wheel and deal, to compromise, to do whatever it takes to gain votes, dollars, power, another term, office, objective for the party. Moderate means establishment.

Trust1TG
Trust1TG

Agree heartily.

Seems we both saw through Breitbart's false premise that this election is a two secular movements: Tea Party vs Occupy conflict.

Mr. Breitbart does not see the depth of the problem. He sees only in political terms.

This is also a spiritual conflict - a Marxism, atheism, environmentalism, pansexualism, Mormonism, Mohammedanism - vs - Biblical Judaism/Christianity conflict.

Caveat emptor applies to this speech and to Breitbart's attempt to 'unify' the party behind 'whoever is the candidate.'

Be aware that Breitbart is a very close buddy of Matt Drudge and coworker/partner at Drudge Report. Drudge, like Coulter, is for Romney, so Breitbart probably is as well.

Be aware that Breitbart, though a stylish, cool talking-looking guy with a lot of clout and money, like Coulter and Drudge, is what is now called a secular, political, fiscal conservative, but not a social/Biblical conservative.

For this group, sex and cohabitation outside of marriage, gay acts, rights and gay marriage are AOK.

What kind of conservative is their preferred candidate Romney? What does his kind of conservatism look like in practice?

Well, Romney's record shows he was willing to violate every conservative fiscal and political principle and every Biblical Commandment (as well as the teachings of his own Mormon religion) for a vote or a dollar:

1. When necessary, Romney would back gay rights, gay marriage, abortion, mandated health care, gun control, the list goes on.

2. His business practices were reverse Robin Hood. He gutted corporations pension funds to pay himself and his people large bonuses and take huge profits whatever befell the workers and the community.

3. Romney is a liar. He told seven documented lies on stage at the last debate. Many of his ads have fomented lies. His pose of conservatism and campaign promises are lies.

Romney is a half-a$$, false and/or anything you will vote for kind of conservative - not a conservative fiscal, political, economic, social/Biblical or any kind of conservative at all.

Moreover, is Breitbart really neutral as he claims in his CPAC speech?

The day before his CPAC talk, Breitbart, "called former House Speaker Newt Gingrich "damaged goods." And he said that people are misreading Gingrich's win in South Carolina as a nod from the Tea Party. Breitbart calls Gingrich a "proxy" who won the anti Mitt Romney vote.

As for Romney, Breitbart says he needs to use CPAC to "get in the trenches" and get in touch with the Tea Party voters who are responsible for change in the Republican party. Breitbart claims Romney is "managing his campaign from afar."

Breitbart, also sees CPAC as a potential "game changer" for former Senator Rick Santorum. Breitbart says Santorum doesn't "recognize the media is everything" in this election. He says Santorum needs to use the media to emotionally connect with voters and continue the momentum he picked up in Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota."

(http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2012/02/09/andrew-breitbart-cpac-x-factor-election#ixzz1m5NkCZx4)

Doesn't sound all that neutral, does it?

What does Conservatism mean to Breitbart, to Drudge and to Coulter? Are they really conservatives or just hirelings who make money being writers, pundits and media moguls? Is it just about career, money and clout for them? Their ratings and incomes go up when there is a radical in office and down when there is a true conservative. They have made a killing during the Obama administration. Why would they back a true conservative when their incomes and careers would take a hit?

I love Breitbart. I actually understand what he means by not being in the bunker fighting just because you don't like the candidate. He's right. Anyone who remains outside the bunker, refusing to defeat Obama, simply because their candidate does not win the nomination, IS working for the other side. It's obvious. I may not want Romney as the candidate, and I will be upset if he wins. However, if I just stay home nursing my pride as a conservative, my uncast vote is simply going to be a vote for Obama.

Think about it long and hard, people. Don't just stay home because you didn't get what you want. It's a fight, and in every fight, we win some and we lose some. But, we must keep fighting. If your candidate is not the nominee, please continue to stand with the rest of us, and put your pride aside. Fight. I'm on my knees here... please. This election is too important to lose to Obama.

This makes no sense. Romney has admitted that he is "a moderate and a progressive." Newt Gingrich subscribes to Alvin Toffler's Third Wave ideology (The Constitution is Second Wave and it needs to "die and be replaced"). Newt adores every big time progressive president from Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson to FDR.

So tell me how as conservatives are we supposed to get America back on track by running these moderate progressives? I get a lot of flack for this. Sounds to me what some of you want isn't having a conservative in the White House but just an "R" in the Oval Office.

Bush drove towards the cliff at a decent speed, Obama turned on the nitros bottle, Newt and Mitt will go the speed limit. Is it wrong for me to ask for a candidate who'll hit the brakes? Do I need "sense knocked into me" for wanting that? From what I'm seeing this isn't about conservative overcoming progressivism this is just replacing a radical progressive "D" with a moderate progressive "R".

We must find out if Newt has thought better of Toffler's ideas and CFR style internationalism, as he did with Global Warming and as he repented of his sin when he became a Christian.

He now talks about Constitutional government, American exceptionalism, the founding fathers as though he has seen the light.

He also seems to be for hard gold-precious metal-backed currency and against the manipulations of the dollar/economy by domestic and foreign entities and investors (aka Soros)

I didn't just discover him today, but if you know Breitbart well enough to know that he meant something other than what he said, then I won't argue with you. Since I don't know you either, I'll just take him at his word.

But my comment isn't about Breitbart, in particular. It's for anyone who accuses me of being "on the other side" merely because I am more loyal to conservative principles than to a political party.

Vote vs. No Vote...

I'm with Mark Levin and Andrew Breitbart and will vote for the Republican nominee... whomever he is.

Why?

To NOT vote in the general election for ANY Republican who wins the primary wreath IS a vote for Obama... by default.

To NOT vote for ANY Republican nominee is absolutely the SAME thing as telling the progressive socialist marxist Obama voter... I quit... you win... and your progressive socialist marxist vote will be used against me because my non-vote is meaningless.

Pres. "uh uh uh" Obama and his progressive socialist marxist cabal has gotta go.

Well Scoop, then my family friends, and I will be enemies, because we are NOT voting for Mitt Romney if he's the nominee. Period. And we won't be alone.

He's nothing more than another pro-big-over-reaching government, pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-gay, lying liberal. His record is closer to Barack Obama's than any Republican candidate who has ever ran, and we are through having to vote for a Democrat to defeat a Democrat because the Republican establishment appointed him. And we have called the Chairman of the RNC and told him so.

We would rather not have you as enemies. We need you as friends on the battlefield. There are enough enemies in this country that it is halfway to being destroyed already. Please rethink your decision. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps Romney being shoved at us is deliberate? That there is a hope to force us to sit down and shut up? Let's say he is the nominee. Are you really prepared to sit down and shut up as a result? Stand up. Raise hell. Be loud and proud of what you believe and who you are. This is a test - a big one. This is the line in the sand. Step over it with the rest of us, and keep forcing powers in Washington to back up, even one step at a time. Reversal of all the damage done to this country won't happen in one election. It will take decades. Most of all, it will take courage, and the ability to suck it up when you don't get the candidate you want. If you become our enemies, then you join those you claim to despise. I hardly think that improves your life, and your "victory" of standing by your principles will be quite short-lived indeed.

I don't need to support Mitt Romney any more than I need to support Dede Scozzafava or Arlen Specter. If an (R) doesn't mean something, then it means nothing. Establishment RINO's are the problem with the Republican party. If Breitbart is willing to support an (R) without regard for who the person is behind the (R), then "ore than shame" on him because he is on the other side. His loyalty is merely to the Republican party while mine is to conservative principles.

BS61

There is a big difference - Republican's have us creeping to socialism, while the Dem's have us leaping to socialism. We need to stop the Chairman Obama's term while we continue to work. This didn't happen over night, we need to fight for a ton of years!

Andrew Breitbart is a Real Journalist and a True Conservative American Patriot, one of my personal heroes. He has bravely fought the corrupt national media and its bias to always bring us the truth that they try to cover up. If you are interesting in the truth you should stay tuned in to Breitbart.com daily. He broke ACORN, Van Jones, and on and on, the list is overwhelming. God Bless Mr. Breitbart for being the champion of media truth.
