Conservative of the Year 2022

Conservative of the Year 2022 had one of the strongest fields of contenders ever!

1. Winner: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), an MIT graduate, for taking on the pompous John Kerry for his socialistic, unjustified climate change alarmism (while Massie himself lives in an entirely green, energy self-sufficient home), for boycotting the presentation to Congress to perpetuate at enormous American cost the NATO War in Ukraine, for being outspoken against the Covid vaccine mandates, and for being the runner-up for the highest lifetime score from The New American for an incumbent member of Congress at the end of the 117th Congress, at a whopping 99 percent.[1]
2. Runner-up: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), for leading against Anthony Fauci, for defeating the corrupt Dropbox Dems in the State of Wisconsin,^[1] and for leading on the conservative populism that is the political future.^[2] Johnson said about the $1.7 trillion omnibus boondoggle, “To declare that a victory, to say that’s a win, that’s like a football team that just lost the game 60 to 0, and they kick a field goal in the waning seconds and say the field goal is a big win,” Johnson said. “No, we just got our you-know-whats handed to us.”^[3]

• JD Vance for leading his very successful America First Senate campaign, and for speaking out against the NATO war in Ukraine despite predictions that it would cost him the election in Ukrainian-populated Ohio.
• Elon Musk, free speech advocate and conservative populist, for purchasing Twitter despite massive opposition from the Left, for encouraging his followers to vote for Republicans, for unblocking former President Trump and many conservative pages like Babylon Bee, and for rebuking Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell for impoverishing Americans by passing the bloated $1.7 trillion spending bill just before the end of the year.^[4] Musk also ineptly supported Never-Trumpers' favorite Ron DeSantis for president, which had the effect of keeping Trump off Twitter after he was restored.
• Lee Zeldin, for running a solid campaign, only losing by less than 6 points in a strongly Democrat state while his coattails helped the Republicans win the House of Representatives.
• Sen. Rand Paul, for voting against the Ukraine aid scam^[5] and upholding the Old Right tradition of the Republican Party in opposing reckless war financing, last well-represented by congressman Eugene Siler.
• Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), for leading against perpetuating the NATO war in Ukraine at American expense.
• Project Veritas, for obtaining definitive evidence (through DARPA) that COVID was an artificially created virus sponsored by the American and Chinese governments.
• Sundance, for leading the charge in exposing Ron DeSantis for what he truly is before he can succeed in thwarting Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
• Peaceful protesters and political prisoners of the DC gulag, unjustly held by the Biden regime without trial for nearly two years.
• Justice Samuel Alito for writing the bold and assertive majority opinion for overturning Roe v. Wade.
• Justice Clarence Thomas for his role in overturning evil Roe v. Wade and for his role for possibly overturning Obergefell v. Hodges in future.
• Col. Douglas MacGregor, outspoken critic of globalism and defender of freedom and democracy.
• Donald Trump, for resisting the Deep State as it continues to persecute him. He also went 147 for 158 candidate endorsements to win back the U.S. House of Representatives in to 2022 Midterm elections.^[6] However, he has since endorsed Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, which is a sign he has yet more to learn about who to trust in Washington.[2]
• Dinesh D'Souza for producing 2000 Mules movie, and for generously donating to the families brutalized by the Leftist's DC Gulag.
• 2022 Canadian Freedom Convoy protesters for their standing against Trudeau totalitarian regime.
• Kris Kobach for winning as Attorney General of Kansas, in the political comeback of the year
• Harriet Hageman for defeating Liz Cheney in Wyoming
• Tulsi Gabbard for leaving Democrat Party on grounds considerably more impressive than those of Kyrsten Sinema.[3] Also is a leading voice against the War in Ukraine.
• Joe Lombardo for being the only Republican to flip a governorship (Nevada) in the midterms.
• Victor Orban for his big victory in the Hungarian election, and for his moderate stance on Ukraine war.
• Kari Lake, Arizona gubernatorial candidate for challenging naked Democrat election fraud.
• Benjamin Netanyahu, for becoming Prime Minister of Israel again and forming a conservative government of Israel.

• Matt Rosendale, for being the only incumbent member of Congress to have a perfect lifetime score from The New American at the end of the 117th Congress.[4] Rosendale maintains Montana's isolationist tradition and principally votes in a consistent manner against interventionist legislation. Rosendale was a leader in discrediting the Trump-hating RINO Liz Cheney, who was then defeated by a landslide in her own GOP primary.
• Thomas P. Tiffany, who along with Marjorie Taylor Greene is tied for the third-highest lifetime score from The New American for an incumbent member of Congress at the end of the 117th Congress, at a whopping 97 percent.[5]
• Giorgia Meloni for winning the Italian election, but by the end of the year she more interested in visiting Ukraine than saving Italy^[7]
• Greg Abbott for his efforts to secure the borders and stop illegal immigration, and for his big win over Beto O'Rourke
• Marco Rubio for his big victory over Val Demings
• Mike Lawler for his victory over Sean Patrick Maloney
• Glenn Youngkin deserve nomination for his reforms in education and elections laws after assuming the position of governor of Virginia, although his loyalty to Trump is questionable and he may be using law enforcement to go after conservative critics.[6]
• Congressman Chip Roy, for persistently being outspoken in prioritizing denunciations of [7][8] both the Biden Administration and halfhearted establishment Republicans (including Thom Tillis and John Cornyn), particularly as he emphasizes the leading issue of the border crisis and currently plays hardball against the omnibus that will sink the U.S. further into the depraved depths of national debt; however, Roy does not particularly focus on election integrity nor Deep State issues.
• Kyrsten Sinema, although not a true conservative, for abandoning the radical Leftist Democrat Party.
• Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina Mark Robinson for his courage to speak against gay marriage.
• U.S. Supreme Court justices who ruled that Roe v. Wade should be overturned despite previously showing RINO tendencies (Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett).
• Federalist Society for playing a vital role in getting Roe v. Wade overturned.
• Ashley Moody, for being the top vote-getter in Florida by a landslide of 61-39% points in her reelection as its Trump-supporting Attorney General
• Marjorie Taylor Greene, CP Conservative of the Year alum who opposed the Ukraine aid/FTX scandal. She is also tied with Thomas P. Tiffany for the third-highest lifetime score from The New American for an incumbent member of Congress at the end of the 117th Congress, at a whopping 97 percent.[9] However, she has very recently become an outspoken supporter of Kevin McCarthy for Speaker and has inappropriately compared fellow conservatives to NeverTrumpers for opposing him.[10]
• Sen. Rick Scott, for challenging the failed GOP Senate leadership by globalist, anti-Trump Mitch McConnell, although he did so too late.
• Ron DeSantis, for standing up for Conservative policies, for winning in a historic landslide, and whose House map helped the Republicans win the House of Representatives; but DeSantis failed to help Herschel Walker and thereby was AWOL as Dems retook the U.S. Senate. He also has been incredibly disloyal to President Trump and forged alliances with NeverTrump donors in anticipation for 2024. In addition, he hogged RGA money in order to fund his 2024 war chest, to the detriment of fellow candidates.[11] He also may have resorted to cheating in order to inflate his margin of victory.[12]
