Boehner Orchestrating the GOP's Demise
American Thinker ^ | December 7, 2012 | J Robert Smith

It's a contest of wills and guess who is winning? President Obama, of course. And that's because the president is up against the GOP's equivalent of Churchill's "Boneless Wonder," Speaker John Boehner. Matched against the president, Boehner is making Ned Beatty's hapless character from the classic movie Deliverance look downright gritty.

Boehner the Boneless Wonder's beta dog routine is doing much to deep-six the Party of Lincoln. Hyperbole? Don't grumpy grassroots conservatives grouse incessantly that establishment Republicans are screwing the -- well, putting it more politely, screwing it up and that the Grand Old Party will go the way of the pterodactyl?

For the insulated tin-eared prowlers of the halls of Congress (Boehner being chief), hear this: The times, they have a-changed -- radically so. The context is dramatically different today than America before the Hugo Chavez-in-chief wanna-be in the White House, the august and empurpled Barack Hussein Obama, took the nation's reins ("On Dancer, on Comet, on Boehner!)

As of this writing, there's been no stout opposition -- no bold proclamation of principles, no declaration of a fight for limited government and liberty -- from the speaker in the teeth of the president's insistence to tax the lights out of "rich" Americans (and, shhh!, every other working American, too, eventually). Boehner and his lackey GOP colleagues remind the history-minded of the French in the face of the Nazi blitzkrieg: throw up those white flags before the speaker's perfect hair is mussed.

Or maybe they’re just all on the same team after all.

Voila! From the article:

"Please, please, don't hurt us, Mr. President," goes Roskam's tiny squeaky voice. "We triple-promise to be good little establishment monkeys and play along. You're so big and brawny and buffed, why, us 98-pound weaklings just want to get along -- for the sake of the country, of course." (Steve Schmidt, cue "Dueling Banjos.")

The better question is: "Who and what are stopping Mr. Obama's drive now toward greater statism, pumped up tyranny, and not-far-off national ruin? You, Mr. Speaker? Or your craven, obsequious followers in the U.S. House?

Boehner Orchestrating the GOP’s Demise

That’s the purpose of the Judenrat. It is empowered for the purpose to help exterminate the enemies of the State from within, because the targets of extermination will see the Judenrat as their own and more readily accepts their efforts - even though the Judenrat are just tools of extermination for the Fascists.

The GOP are today’s Judenrat for the MarxoFascists.

‘Your suggestions as to who that might be?’

I didn't have anyone specific in mind, unfortunately. I admittedly don't have a very good feel for the current landscape regarding the GOP and conservative politicians.

I think it has to be someone relatively young who has all of the ‘credentials’ the left values - yet dismisses these credentials as unimportant and trite. I think it is very important to ridicule the left publicly. I think this is an absolute requirement and is definitively necessary to plant seeds of doubt in at least a portion of their base. I also wonder whether it might be a good idea to rebrand ourselves to nullify the negative connotations the left has been able to associate with the term ‘conservatism’.

They have successfully labeled conservatives as ‘throwbacks’, ‘non-progressive’ (meaning not current or modern), ‘anti-science’, ‘anti-intellectual - or outright ‘dumb’, etc. I know it will sound trivial to some here, but I really believe that we start defining ourselves as “protectors of personal justice and freedom”, “modernists beyond the inevitable failures of socialism”, “anti-totalitarian”, “Defenders of individual spirituality’”. I think we should also reemphasize the idea that all of individual rights go only as far as the tip of our fellow citizen's nose. This is conceptually important because it defines why voting yourself the fruits of someone else’s labor and success is not your right, but a form of organized theft. The bottom line is that we have to characterize ourselves as what we are, the more intelligent, fair, and compassionate choice for voters.
