I've been blogging at Townhall since August of 2006. At the beginning it was a lot of fun and we had a community that exchanged ideas and the discussions were productive and interesting.
When I began, I considered myself a conservative. I realize now that I am not a conservative as defined by many on Townhall, who claim to be "Conservative not Republican."
I believe that the Republican Party is the only hope that America has in a two party system. I believe that in order to accomplish our goals we have to win elections. Letting Democrats win is not the way to advance our principles.
I've left a few of my favorite blogs up, which exemplify the ongoing fight that I had with "Conservatives not Republicans."
Blogging now about the Democrat Party and Obama is a pretty useless exercise. It won't change our current situation. Everyone knew what the Democrats would be like when they gained control of everything...yet we let it happen.
I wish that I could say that I have hope that things can change, but I can't. The rift between conservatives and the GOP is only getting wider.
For now, there is nothing left to say.
