Conservatives, take heart.

Today is a day for optimism. Yesterday, we lost, but today is a new opportunity. Keep your head up. Resist the urge to whine, mope, or gripe. Suppress the temptation to succumb to thoughts of depression (you are only wasting time and energy).

We have a war to fight. It is a war of ideas. Yesterday we lost a battle, not the war. True conservatism is still armed with superior ideas, and a rising, new generation of true conservative leaders.

To allow our defeat to cause us to cower away from the future battles that are about to be waged, is the equivalent of forfeiting an entire season because we lost one game.

Now is the time to regroup, refocus, and recommit to the fundamental principles that make conservatism work. Many of these principles have either been abandoned or incompetently communicated to the American people, and it is our duty as true conservatives to correct the mistakes of the past by accurately presenting these fundamental ideals in the future.

The sanctity of life, the defense of marriage, lower taxes, limited government, and a strong military are too important to our country’s long term success for us to give up now.

Look deep within yourself, find the confidence needed to re-engage, and press-on to take our country back.
