No Longer a Republican
Townhall ^ | Dec 22, 2014 | Matt Barber

Posted on 12/25/2014 8:36:57 AM PST by lqcincinnatus

I am no longer a Republican. John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and their Democrat-lite, RINO Republican establishment have seen to that. They have betrayed their own constituents. They have actively turned against the American people – the very voters who granted them power to do good.

Even before the gavel has sounded on the Republican-led 114th Congress, these treacherous cowards shamelessly, eagerly, it seems, squandered perhaps the one opportunity they had to stop, in his tracks, America’s first cultural Marxist, anti-American, palpably evil president.

The convention delegate system has already been rigged for 2016, during the big rule changes rammed through at the 2012 Tampa Bay convention, which were designed to undercut Conservatives and protect the GOP-E.

National Rallies : STOP Obama Amnesty - FIRE Boehner : 2015-01-03

2015-01-03 National Rally Goals:

1) Speak DEFIANCE against Obama’s Illegal Amnesty !

2) FIRE Speaker John Boehner by encouraging House GOP to select Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as the next House Speaker.

3) Tell the GOPe-RINO gang (Juan McCain, Karl Rove, Reince Priebus, Jeb Bush) that we WILL NOT TOLERATE their pathetic political surrender to Obama’s clear agenda to DESTROY our AMERICAN REPUBLIC.

4) Express our Patriots’ DEFIANT OUTRAGE ... in the face of BITTER COLD WINTER, just as Generals Washington and Patton won GREAT victories at Trenton (Christmas 1776) and Bastogne (Battle of the Bulge, Christmas 1944).


On Saturday Jan. 3, 2015 ... we will ALL STAND DEFIANT in the BRAVE tradition of American Patriots before us ... our fathers and grandfathers ... at Valley Forge, Yorktown, the Battle of New Orleans, San Juan Hill, Belleau Wood, Midway, Omaha Beach, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, Battle of Ia Drang, and Battle of 73 Easting.

Share with ALL Patriot Friends and Tea Party groups ... WHY ?

Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee, Trey Gowdy (et al) GREATLY appreciate our support ...

A great Patriot turn-out encourages the Senate and House GOP to FIRE the Machiavellian traitors John Boehner and Mitch McConnell ...

It was the GOP backstabbing of Palin that first and foremost ended my lifelong self-identification as a Republican, and destroyed any sense of kinship I felt towards the Party.

Same here. I washed my hands of the GOP-E in 2008 when the Republican knives came out for Palin.

The Republican left has one political enemy, ...conservatives. My response is that I will vote for whomever I want to vote for, and give money to whomever I want to give to. The lesser of two evils argument is growing irrelevant as the degrees of left become indistinguishable. GOPe, or Democrats, what is the difference? ...Support conservatives, and if they morph into leftist Urchins, find different conservatives to vote for.

Ronald Reagan had it right: change the party, don’t leave it.

Look at what happened right after the 2014 elections — a clear signal that the people do not want business as usual was taken to mean I'm not a Democrat was enough to win, and therefore the Party needn't do anything to earn votes (they are entitled to them, you owe them your vote).

Unless the incoming Congress actually does something (e.g. prosecute the NSA for domestic espionage, pursue the IRS for political targeting, eliminate huge portions of the public debt [which entails abolishing government agencies and living within our means], etc) then the Republican Party literally has no reason to exist.

Reagan was a Democrat for many years. It's ok to leave the party.

And this is what the ruling class in Washington will never understand. America isn’t a great country because of our government. We’re a great country despite it.

No one who has an understanding of how the left won is going to choose third party over throwing out the RINO’s. First, until you have the power to dethrown them you have to build a power base. Second, if your power base is too weak to dethrown them then you need to work on destroying them with slander, scandal and innuendo (not surprising, the left will help you because most of them don’t understand either). Third, you have to understand Alynski in his statement, it’s not the power you have, it’s the power they think you have.
Politics is a blood sport and not for purists of any stripe.

Not Hillary

It will be Elizabeth Warren. I’ve been saying that for years.

"After six years of Obama’s tenure, the president’s approval rating is just above 40 percent. He has lost more congressional seats during his administration than has any president in over a half-century. His party is in shambles, with historic midterm losses in state legislatures and governorships."

Well, not exactly. While the dems may be in a bit of disarray, the establishment republicans are right there to prop them up.

Their allegiance is to the beltway, not the nation!

People remaining in the Republican party are as much a threat to America as any liberal. They empower evil. Period. Excuses are just that.

As for Levin, he’s as big a fraud as ‘conservatives remaining in the Republican party. If he was a conservative, he’d do...not talk.

I would hope by this point most of the silent types on FR have had a belly full of these pieces of garbage doing everything in their power to prevent the formation of a legit alternative to the GOP. Speak up. TELL them to go to Redstate or somewhere else Republicans gather. We will NEVER get our act together until we rid ourselves of weak sisters.

The truth is the people hired to handle mail outs and contributions are regular people. The “royal” politicians never see the messages we send. There is a wall between them and us. And their staff doesn’t give them news they don’t want to hear.

The best was to get rid of the republican party is to let it die. And I’ll do my part by never voting for anyone with an “R” after their name. Let the democrats wipe them out in election after election. Eventually a true opposition party will spring up. If we survive. But we won’t survive with rinos in charge either.

Thanks for correcting me. I do believe you are right. There are a lot of signs pointing that way.

I’ve been watching the activity on democratic underground. They’ve been pushing Warren and see Hillary as an old woman who does not represent the future of their party.

Still, many republicans focus on Hillary the way they do an ex-wife. Their focus is emotional, not logical.

Thats partly true but never forget that She’s a clinton and clintons will nuke anything just to get at power. She caved, uncharacteristically once. I still don’t get that one but it happened. I don’t see that happening again. She will destroy the left rather than suffer another humiliation IMO.

"More proof that the lessor of two evils approach to electing our leaders simply slows down our descent into the abyss.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

So are the people that push it. They are every bit as evil an an open lib. Worse really since they are succeeding in winning converts to evil an open lib never could in the name of ‘unity’. And many walk among us right here.
