It’s rare when you see a RINO (Republican In Name Only) do the honorable thing (they’re usually too engrossed in doing the convenient thing, the “pragmatic” thing, the easy thing, the nest-feathering thing to worry about doing the right thing), so such an action by Evan Alvarez, leader of the Mississippi Federation of College Republicans, deserves commendation.

Tea Party patriots understand what many Republicans and even a few conservatives don’t seem to get: you can’t appease, be nice to, negotiate with, or compromise with an enemy that is dedicated to your destruction. Trying to maintain “access” to them will only get you laughed at behind your back as you walk out the door, and ultimately betrayed later.

The 2010 mid terms caught the attention of the GOP establishment to the point of unearthing their RINO assassin bureau. Prior to that event, the term RINO remained unknown and certainly devoid of the public’s disgust which that acronym now supposes. Today, our Constitutionally-based Tea Party has replaced the liberal Democrat as the RINO’s chief adversary, and for good reason!

Conservatives learned in Mississippi that for establishment Republicans, the end justifies the means, making it impossible to separate them from their “big government” peers. The only remaining question post-Mississippi is will conservatives still reward them with their votes as the lesser of two evils?

Today’s decision was a victory for freedom, because a person who does not have the right to order his or her professional and personal life in accordance with his or her religious beliefs does not have freedom at all.

Still more voices are joining the chorus that now is the time to make the corrupt GOP establishment start to feel the consequence of their betrayal of republican values. As I pointed out a few days ago, conservatives who believe in Republican values and principles have been working for several years now to guide the Republican Party back to the values that it claims to believe in…only to be met with mockery, disdain, derision and hostility.
