Fellow
conservatives,
I appreciate
that you turned out to caucuses this evening. You represent the
continuation of a movement that began with the TEA parties last
year. Most of you recognize that the coming election is not
about what the government can do for you. It is about what the
government intends on doing to you.
The problem
that conservatives face is that they must fight two wars at
once. One war is with our enemies overseas. The second war is
against enemies at home. The enemies at home are those who would
see us enslaved by our own government in the name of equality.
Too many
politicians don’t understand this. If you’re Barack Obama, you
spend your speeches talking about good you are at creating jobs
instead of talking about what you can do to improve to liberty.
What we must understand is that the
battle to be fought is not just between Republicans and
Democrats. More broadly, it is between conservatives and
liberals. It is between those who are meek and those who are
fighters.
I say this because those who are in the
Republican Party are often too meek. That is what makes them
conservative. On the other extreme, some Republicans can also be
too outgoing. They aren’t very conservative at all.
The times we live in call for people who
are both conservative and ready to fight for what they believe
in. We need conservatives, activists and candidates
alike, who are willing to go forth and enact conservative values
without fear of retribution or electoral loss.
Make no mistake, liberals are not afraid of fighting for their
values.
Unfortunately for us, liberal values require that we as
conservatives be enslaved and forced to live by them. Our values
ask only that we be left alone and that we treat others as we
would be treated.
If
our country were to be conquered by a foreign enemy, it would be
death by murder. If we allow our country to be taken over by
those who do not want liberty, it will be death by suicide. The
goal of conservatives must be to preserve our American flag of
liberty, no matter what the cost. So far, we have been too
mild-mannered to carry that flag. I ask that you join me in
fighting for it.
Sincerely,
Rudy Takala
