Thanks for that link!
It’s time to start “demonizing” America’s WORST President ever...
What is Goldberg talking about?
I seldom hear reference made to Rockefeller republicans. I hear reference made to RINO republicans, moderate republicans, unprincipled republicans, sell-out republicans and so on.
Rockefeller republicans? Extinct? Yeah, maybe. Who cares?
The RINO republicans are in effect democrats, they vote with democrats, follow democrats, ‘reach across the aisle’ more frequently than taking bathroom breaks.
We have got to get rid of the democrats who have infiltrated our republican party and who masquerade as republicans, the RINOS.
Are RINOS extinct? Hardly. So what is Goldberg going on about?
You don’t understand.
Every one of those people you mentioned are insane, and race traitors. Just ask anyone in the non-Fox mainstream media about this.
The examples of them, or anything they say, simply isn’t legitimate, and can be ignored out of hand.
Such is the world we allowed to be created.
And what did these so called conservatives do when they were a majority in the house, a majority in the senate and held the White House/ Tell me about the debt reduction and the spending cuts, tell me about what they did to shrink the government.....it’s a really small list....matter of fact it’s zero!!!! We need to primary them if possible. Be prepared for the Liza Murkowski shuffle!!!

It's hard not to get passionate when you see the country going into the toilet.
It hard not to get frustrated when "our" leaders keep ceding ideological ground to the Marxists behind closed doors.
He misspelled the damn word. And then corrected himself. What do you want?
I think the Johan was a mistake.
Wrong Jonah! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! The frustration comes from the fact that most of the GOP in DC care more for their personal power, perks and priveliges than they care for this country. They always talk a good game at election time and on the Sunday shows when there's nothing on the line but as soon as push comes to shove they turn tail and run to the left!
We're also sick of the so called conservative press who don't mind flooding my email inbox and my mailbox with non stop pleas for my money so that they can continue 'our' fight. Ha! What a joke. Don't think we didn't notice who's side you were on Jonah when Ted Cruz needed the conservative press on his side in his fight against obamacare. The same press who for the last three years has been calling for the end of obamacare attacked the first real man who took any concrete action at all. And you were right there up front Jonah! That's why we're frustrated! As for me I'm not frustrated. I'm effin pissed off and can't wait to turn my guns on phony conservatives next year!
Yes, “Rockefeller Republican” is a epithet from yesteryear.
But Goldberg knows full well what is meant by the term today: an establishment, statist, “me too” Republican who is always more than happy to “reach across the aisle” whenever it means stabbing the conservative base of the party in the back and giving the Democrats and the MSM everything they want.
The kind of Republican Jonah Goldberg is, in fact.
No, Jonah Goldberg, the liberal Rockefeller Republicans are still around. They are the face of the national GOP establishment statists/socialists/Marxists that collude with the Donkey Party statists/socialists/Marxists. We call them RINOs because they are indistinguishable from Donkeys. The RINOs and Donkeys are a one party cabal that seeks to rule over America.
Note to Mr Goldberg.
A Republican can campaign as a Conservative, and even talk like a Conservative when in office, but, whether or not they really are a Conservative is determined by what they do, what they will fight for, what they WILL NOT COMPROMISE ON and what they don’t do. If they act like a “northeastern esatablishment Republican” then all else they do is irrelevant to whether or not they are a Conservative - they’r not.
For instance, the establishment Republicans (and one of their new friends) want to deliver the Democrats promises for amnesty just to say they are “bipartisan” as if the business of Conservatives is to “do something” and not, based on our principles, preventing from being done that which should not be done.
Goidberg is wrong in failing to understand (or admit) how some in the GOP get to Washtington and fall madly in love with being part of the establishment, in love with the power, in love with passing laws for the sake of passing laws - as if passing laws, even bad laws, is what they are SUPPOSED TO DO, and G-d forbid they stand on the principles of the Conservatives who voted for them and act to STOP laws from coming into force that should not come into force.
Goldberg is wrong. Conservatives don’t need to conspire with the Democarts to help make the growth and expansion of federal power “work better”. They need to reverse that course, downsize Washington D.C., return masses of decision making and masses of dollars annually back to the states and the people.
The GOP leaderrs should not be there to go along and get along. If that obstructs the Democrats and gets nothing else done, it is alone an achievement worthy of the effort. Until the GOP leasers start fighting like the Dims do - no compromise - they will never do the job they were elected to do. They will never be a true opposition party. They will always be a “well O.K.” party that gets NOTHING that those who vote for them want done.
They "folded" in the same sense that the Japanese "folded" at the end of WW2 when, entirely defeated, they acknowledged their defeat rather than having their country destroyed.
They "folded" in the same sense that, at the end of a football game, the losing team walks off the field, rather than stomping their feet and insisting that the game continue until there is a different outcome.
What does "not folded" look like, in this definition? I'm reminded of this scene from the movie "Trading Places":
“But the real source of that frustration is not the insufficient conservatism of the establishment; it’s the insufficient power and popularity of conservatism coupled with the very real failures of the GOP to reverse conservatism’s fortunes over the last two decades.”
I can easily concede that we haven’t the numbers anymore - the twentieth century was an ideological catastrophe simply because every movement except conservatism was judged superior - all of the worthless and dangerous ism’s arrayed against the truth of limited government and the solidarity of a unifying American ideal. Even the greatest generation had the Democrats under FDR and a lazy intellectual class to despoil our heritage, poisoning liberty at its roots. To concede is more of the same intellectual laziness.
That he is. I’ve been poking his rino tail on twitter for weeks. He is an annoying arrogant little pos.
His snarky comments about Cruz and Lee, reveal where his loyalties are.
Tell this little twerp to come out of the closet already.
You can paste the comments from RINO’s and Democrats without attribution and see if anyone can tell the difference.
Another Vichy Republican heard from.
That is the damn truth!
So disgusted with all this chatter, they live in a freakin bubble!
They’re far from extinct, unfortunately.
