Einstein, Churchill, and the Top Conservatives on Twitter

Posted 10 Dec 2008 in conservatism, Twitter, wise quotes

Among other things, the 2008 election proved that the GOP and Libertarian parties failed miserably to adequately represent conservatism. And after the wake-up call of Obama’s victory, Republican strategist and author Michael Leahy created a new Twitter movement called Top Conservatives On Twitter (#TCOT).

I’m glad to see that so many folks are responding to new methods of exchanging ideas and re-energizing conservative thought.

“In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.” ~Winston Churchill

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” ~Albert Einstein

UPDATE: Mamalogues has a nice post about how #TCOT and how conversatives are gaining ground on Twitter.

“An entire half of the country, asleep for the better part of four years, finally woke up. They looked around and saw that while they were sleeping, the other half of the country, the Democrats, had continued perfecting their netroots organization after Howard Dean lost his 2004 White House bid. They were entirely connected and could push an action through the grapevine with speed matched only by that of a headline traveling in a news feed.

For conservatives, Twitter was therapy before it was a tool. Sometimes it takes loss to spark great action.”
