Sangster's Thoughts: Conservative Surrender Movement

There's a growing movement within conservative ranks, which is decidedly unfortunate. They see a state elect a Democrat majority or pass a liberal law and start telling other conservatives to move out of that state. Town by town, city by city, county by county, state by state it has seen conservatives abandon their homes.

So is this how conservatives deal with something they don't like? Run away from it and surrender that state? If that's how you want to keep doing things, you'll soon run out of states to escape to. And then where will you go? There's not exactly another continent available for us to go found a new nation, based on our values.

Is it not a better answer to fight for each state? To keep what we do have, and work on gaining back what we've lost? O some might seem too far gone, for there to be much hope, but does that really mean we should give up on them? Others are just barely across the line and are easily re-takeable.

If we truly do believe in this nation, we need to dig in, not give up another inch, and then get out of the trenches and begin taking the country back. This is a war and we need to begin fighting. We need to be planning for 2014. Not just that we will vote, but who we vote for. Real conservative candidates need to be found, developed, put into place, and supported. It's time for all conservatives to get involved, not just talk about becoming involved.

The United States is not done. There is still hope to recover the greatest nation the world has ever known. Will it be easy? No, every war comes with casualties, even if they don't involve blood. However, it is necessary if we truly believe in what we profess.

Conservatives need to make a decision. Do we truly begin the fight and war which we love to talk about, on Twitter, Facebook, in our blogs, and at conferences? Or do we just give in and join the conservative surrender movement?
