OK, so why do any of us Conservatives even pay lip service to The Republican Party.
Because despite everything, you understand reality. The Rep party does have a platform that enumerates principles that we can and should support. The people that we all dislike who don’t support those principles, are still in a position of power as tenuous as that might seem to them. It will be by the slimmest of margins IF we win this battle, and it will still be only a beginning if we do win, and it won’t be the end of the war.
Power brokers don’t give up easy. Most of us with a lick of sense understand that Congress by and large has lost it’s way, and there are a very limited number of truly principled men and women in the body, and in my opinion, non of them are democrats, not one. but as the side of evil never gives up it’s quest neither should we. If liberty is to be retained even in it’s limited form, we must win, eventually.
We have been sliding for over a hundred years, we will not win in a day, a week, a month or even years. The war begun before this world was populated is on going and will continue until the only king this nation will ever be called to serve, returns to assume a royal reign. Until then “damn the torpedoes full speed ahead”, and may we be privileged to win a few for the Gipper.
Great Post and so right on multiple points!
For my part, at 60+, I like what Thomas Paine said in the Revolutionary War. Some Freepers may not know that some historians give full credit to Thomas Paine for providing the verbal stimulus to light the Revolutionary fire and keep it lit.
