Why We MUST Be Partisan – Especially Now

More than once I have recommended to you the excellent blog American Thinker. I would once again point you to that blog, and in particular, to the article GOP Defeat and the ‘New Tone’. If you can spare 15 minutes, go and read it. It’s an excellent take on how we got to where we are today, why we lost, and what to do now. It also makes the case that “partisan” is not an ugly word.
The article summarizes thus:
Conservatism did not lose last night, as it was not on the ballot. The big winner was ignorance and the biggest loser was the Bush-Rove-McCain brand of watered down Republicanism. Yes, the Bush-Rove-McCain brand. They gave us each other. Much as the two men cannot stand each other, they are ironically much the same. And the result is indeed a new tone in Washington, and it is a scary dreary leftist tone.
We will never beat it back until the watered down bi-partisans are flushed from the system. Thomas Jefferson loved partisanship. Hugo Chavez does not. That should tell us all we need to know about this flawed path our party has been on for many years. Tuesday, our aisle reaching chickens came home to roost.
