Jeb Bush. Not conservative enough. Try as I might, it remains impossible to see these two concepts as even remotely related. John Ellis Bush, the second son of George Herbert Walker Bush and Barbara Bush, who during his first run for Florida governor in 1994 cheerfully called himself a head-banging conservative, a hang-’em-by-the-neck conservative … who during his second run for Florida governor in 1998 had to craft for himself a more compassionate persona so as not to scare off independent voters … that Jeb Bush has come to be viewed with suspicion by the uber-conservative, Tea Party wing of his Republican Party?They did it to former Virginia Republican Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling....

I'll bet Alinsky didn't expect Americans to stand up to Rule 8
Radical Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals included Rule 8: "Keep the pressure on. Never let up." Barack Obama and his administration appear to be following that rule with everything they have jammed down the throats of Americans the past year.
But did Alinsky expect the American people to react to Rule 8 by protesting overreaching government? I don't think so.
Alinsky, who died in 1971, had seen a nation of sheep full of apathy and misplaced priorities. Never in his wildest dreams would he have expected everyday, ordinary Americans to react so negatively to Rule 8.
For the first time in memory, conservatives are openly thumbing their noses at Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and are rewriting history.
Look at the tea party movement that began early in 2009 ... look at the citizens who attended townhall meetings held during the summer of 2009 ... look at the 1.2 million conservatives who marched in Washington on September 12, 2009.
Millions again gathered nationwide on April 15, 2010, as they continued to protest against Democrats, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi's strong-armed passage of ObamaCare, cap-and-trade, banking and private company buyouts, and much more over the past year.
America is at a crossroads.
In 1971 Saul Alinsky's rules may have worked. However, it's 2010 ... a sleeping giant has been awakened ... and many Americans are well aware of what Barack Obama and the liberal Democrats are trying to do to this country.
Somehow, I don't think Alinsky ever had an inkling this would happen. It makes me want to shout, "God bless America!"
