As regular readers of PJ Media know, I’m a Ted Cruz guy. He’s the best conservative candidate out there, who is anti-establishment and who actually believes in conservative values. Next year’s elections are of vital importance for the future of the United States: either a real conservative like Ted puts the country back on track, or corruptocrat Hillary Clinton takes over and continues to destroy America as President Obama has done for the last 6.5 years.
Some conservatives believe it’s not that bad, and that there are many other good Republicans out there who can a) defeat Hillary and b) fix the country. One of the candidates they point to is Jeb Bush, who’s doing well in most national polls.
I’ve been pointing out for the last couple of months, however, that there’s one major problem with this member of the Bush family: like his father and brother George W., Jeb isn’t a conservative, but a corporatist.
Corporatist policies may be ‘conservative’ every now and then, but overall they’re anything but. They’re anti-free markets (they fear competition) and anti-small government (they need handouts and costly deals with the federal government). When a corporatist like Jeb wins, Big Business will use Big Government to enrich itself. The only people who profit from that are members of the establishment – people like the Bushes. As far they’re concerned, the rest of the country can to go to hell.
One of the main tools corporatists use to enrich themselves while destroying the country is mass immigration. Having millions of illiterate poor people moving to America is bad for the country, but it’s great business for major corporations. That’s why Jeb constantly repeats that Republicans have to provide a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants and allow more uneducated immigrants into the country.

>> “They’re not conservatives, they’ve never been conservatives.”
We had a chance recently to tour the George H.W. Bush presidential library.
George Sr. was a patrician “public servant” who stepped up and filled many difficult roles when his country called in time of need. He was serious and sober-minded about his calling. His integrity is above question. He and Barbara were full of class and grace.
GHWB hearkens back to a time when our leaders were trustworthy and LOVED AMERICA and held her (and the office) in high esteem. Not like the RAT FILTH (clintoon, and that SOB bastard Obama) who are vile conniving pieces of self serving totalitarian-minded crap (and that’s the BEST I can say of that bunch).
However...
My walk down memory lane did serve to remind me that, no, the Bushes — NONE of them, dating back to Prescott — are truly conservative. None of them.
Which is precisely why nothing ever changes for the better regardless who wins. Even if a non-Corporatist wins, the Corporate interests make their presence known and exercise their authority over the Presidency.
As long as this is the case, these elections are entirely pointless.
Levin throws around the ‘C’ word like Star Wars characters throw around the phrase ‘The Force’.
It makes it almost information-less and a joke.
Jeb is a RINO. Except for war and taxes its hard to find anything he disagrees with Dems on. And GWB record on foreign policy was hardly a shining success.
Corporatists = Fascists.
Correct
It’s taken awhile, but Mark is slowly waking up to the fact that we’re run by an elite oligarchy and we’re in a hard not just soft tyranny.
While I did support them in the past, nothing ticked me off more when Babs & LaLa came out pro-abortion and “ghey” marriage after it was all over....
They played us and we been had....
Never again!!!
Correct.
A few weeks ago, Jeb was claiming to be a “Reform Conservative” (thatever the H that is).
Bro was the “Compassionate Conservative”.
Whenever a candidate needs to re-define or rename his brand of conservatism, chances are it is not what most real conservatives would consider conservatism to be. BUYER BEWARE!
