Because we’re never supposed to actually WIN the battle.

Just use the battle as a way to get more milquetoast pantywaists elected.

Well that game is over!

That’s most of the problem I agree.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE

With Junior Jonah and little Willy Kristol there this issue of NEPOTISM.

Think for a minute either one of those two losers could have gotten a mailroom job without their parents involvement?

Remember Sidney and Lucianne Goldberg?

Look up Neocon and a picture of Little Willie’s dad, Irvin Kristol and GWB is there shaking hands.

What jokesters these guys are. Problem is they’re only fooling themselves and a teeny tiny group of Jebsters and liberals who don’t think.

Jonah is correct- though I don’t like it one bit. We don’t realize how right he is- the GOP gave lip service to the sanctity of life for decades but very few meant it. The secret is NO ONE thought Roe would ever be overturned. Now it’s happened and few of us on the right are prepared for the political backlash. I don’t give a damn myself- but it’s coming. Does anyone really believe Planned Parenthood will begin preaching abstinence or make birth control “cool”? How much money could that bring in to them?

I don’t get these people. Every victory is a loss or spun as how Republicans will crack up or overreach or do something self-destructive. Their goal in life is explaining why we can’t be allowed to win on an agenda that they allegedly share. And they hate anyone who actually pushes to win that agenda.

Discernment.

DISCERNMENT.

FReepers need to determine if what he says is reasonable, correct, or true.

Otherwise, you’re letting your reasoning and analytical skills be swayed by what you FEEL about Goldberg.

Do better.

“ You can’t reason with these people. They’re not even just ignorant. They’re actually purposely evil. Purposely deceptive. Purposely destructive. Purposely twisting the rule of law to fit their satanic world view.”

Very succinct, accurate and to the point, well done sir!

Liberal Fascism is an excellent book, but then this guy just went sideways.

Liberal Fascism is an excellent book, but then this guy just went sideways.

Because it is safe to speak big when you are in the minority and you are not a threat yet. But when you need to step up because a movement is underway to restore Liberty, and it is gaining momentum, he became a mouse because he values his "stuff" and reputation more than Liberty.

He is happy sitting on the sidelines writing his worthless articles and books like any other ordinary hypocrite.

Agreed, I use that book as a coffee table book when I have known liberals over. The jacket gets the conversations rolling.

Me thinks, Jonah is either not the author or he’s had a horrific brain injury since the books publication.

Goldbrick fired Ann Coulter from NRO in 2001. Before she went crazy.

I still adhere to the concept and articulate it when appropriate. The social conservatism leg is not going away and there is plenty of work there to do.

I think that table has been set. It'll basically be like firearms regulation, a blue state/red state situation. Conservatives in HI, CA, WA, NJ, NY, MA, RI, CT, MD will fight, but they recognize that their state will become abortion vacation destinations.

Personally, I'm intrigued at the prospect of prolife individuals approaching their respective state firearms organization to learn the ropes. The concealed carry movement for decades was a state-by-state incremental wins movement.

For example, NJ has a small but spirited firearms lobby. While I doubt NJ will embrace pro-life, there *could* be some benefits if they joined forces. That said, there is also the potential to lose focus by widening the aperture especially in blue states where prolife supporters and firearms owners are in short supply. Parenthetically, some prolife folks in NJ hate guns (it's odd but it's true...I've experienced it), so it could be a dead end.

But that's the benefit of it moving to the state level. Subsidiarity works.

I’m no fan of Jonah Goldberg but I think his take on this is generally correct. In fact, the early 21st century will likely be remembered as the swan song for the GOP … because the social conservatives have pretty much had it with the corporate/globalist wing of the party.
