The bipartisan party hacks are truly terrified by conservative principles!

From Surrendering to Statism: The Boehner Plan

With the spontaneous rise of the Tea Party in 2009, the recently dead conservative movement was resuscitated back to life and given another chance to fight for limited government. In primary after primary, constitutionally-minded candidates toppled the establishment’s picks by running on the conservative principles that many in Washington had long since abandoned.

And in the midterm elections, this new wave of liberty defenders crushed the liberal statists at the polls – gaining 63 seats in the House and 6 seats in the Senate.

But the euphoria among the grassroots warriors was short-lived. In their first opportunity to validate their newly rediscovered tenet of fiscal responsibility, many weak-willed members of the GOP turned their back on the Tea Party and submitted to the Washington logic of perpetually massive spending and deficits

We must recognize that this is our last chance to set things right. Compromising on our fiscal principles does not merely kick the can down the road. The consequences are much more dire. It stomps on the accelerator – ensuring that we reach top speed when we plunge off of the cliff.

This is our moment to take a stand and attempt to change the unsustainable course we are on. Doing nothing or making negligible cuts will seal a Greece-like fate for our future. This is not intended to scare people through fear-mongering or demagoguery. It’s the simple reality of our situation.

Coalescing to the Boehner plan sends a clear signal to the world. It raises the white flag for conservatives and proclaims that we accept the permanency of big government.

[If you haven’t noticed, statist DC is now bipartisanly piling on the Tea Parties. Only now are the hacks beginning to realize that it’s no longer about politics but about conservative principles. A party tag is less important and no longer will guarantee a political sinecure. And the party hacks of both parties, along with tea party deserters, are terrified. Bring it on, DC! We’ll make a stand now and then see you in 2012! – JS]
