I joined the #TCOT movement on Twitter.\u00a0 Basically, it’s a bunch of us grassroots types who are trying to shape the future of the GOP and harness the power of social media.\u00a0 From the TCOT website:<\/p>\n
Since the days of Ronald Reagan’s vision of America as the “shining city on a hill,” conservatives have been motivated to create an ideal version of our country.<\/p>\n
Of late, we’ve lost our way.<\/p>\n
Too many conservatives are looking backwards to the “Glory Days” of those great leaders who are no longer with us. They lived in a different world, with different technologies and a different citizenry.<\/p>\n
It serves no purpose for us to wail and bemoan our recent misfortunes, as we try in vain to relive that which will never be again.<\/p>\n
The path to re-establishing a limited government that is responsible only for those elements of the common good which we cannot provide for ourselves lies not with a political leadership that lives in decades past, or in “talking heads” comfortable in their own intellectual superiority, interesting in telling us what they think, but not hearing what we know.<\/p>\n
Limited government will be re-established through the independently undertaken but voluntarily coordinated efforts of hundreds of thousands of netizen-warriors just like you and me. Unlike the CEOs of auto companies and mortgage companies begging to be bailed out of financial debacles of their own profligacy, the netizen-warrior approaches the task of righting our nation with the humility of servant leadership.<\/p>\n
From that community servant leadership comes the moral authority by which other likeminded netizen-warriors will collectively work to return our country to the principles upon which it was founded.<\/p>\n
