(CNSNews.com) - Phyllis Schlafly was around for the beginning of the modern conservative movement. Now, in the aftermath of yesterday’s sea change election, the president of Eagle Forum and veteran conservative activist says the movement needs to start over again – from the beginning.
 
“The conservative movement will rise again, just as it re-rose in 1964 and nominated a little-known senator named Barry Goldwater, and rose again with the nomination and election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, and then, after (Bill) Clinton’s victory rose again and elected a big majority of Republican congressmen in 1994,” Schlafly told CNSNews.com in an interview.
 
1994 was the year Newt Gingrich and others developed the Contract with America, which inspired the election of a class of conservative Republicans, who took control of Congress.
 
“The conservative movement knows how to rise from the ashes, and we need to pick up the pieces of the movement, which was so badly dismantled and put in disarray by the George W. Bush administration. But we can do it. And we’ve got to get started immediately,” she said.

I have no doubt we'll get started.

Not today or tomorrow or next week, as one must first going through that time of sorrow, grieving, anger, confusion, vexation.

But we'll get started, probably before January 20, 2009.

Anybody over 30 years of age has been through this at least a couple of times, and if older, three times, perhaps even four.

There's nothing new under the sun.

As I said in another thread here, Newt Gingrich would be a great chairman of the RNC.

This is as good a thread as any to give a big  :redbird: :redbird: to all of those "republican" pundits (buckley jr., Smerconish in Philly, Powell, etc., etc.) who decided to support Obama. The Republican party doesn't need or want you. Go away. Stay away.

Let nothing frighten you.

God alone suffices.

Steele, Palin, Jindal and Newt. 

From the ashes of the selection of the fuhrer will come a TRUE Conservative movement, without the compromises we have been forced to make in our current president nor our latest presidential candidate.

It is time to rebuild and reject all those assholes.  Be a Conservative in thought, word and deed, or get the hell out.

That means:

* SMALL Government -- spin off and privatize the increases created in the last 20 years.
* LOW Taxes -- for all, but NO EIC
* FREE Markets -- but an active watchful eye
* PEACE through STRENGTH
* MORALITY is NOT relative.

It ain't that tough -- or is it?

someone said last night that bobby jindal is already planning a trip to iowa next month. 

and one lesson we should learn from this is to never let karl rove sit out a presidential election ever again.

And we need Newt to reengage in a meaningful way -- not just shouting form the wings.
