This article misses one key point that is fundamental to the differences between the GOP Insiders and the Conservatives.
The Insiders are Statists who do not believe in a higher power than the State. They believe that all rights emanate from the State to be granted or taken away as the State sees fit and of course that the State is omniscient as well as omnipotent they see voters as irrelevant once the election is over.
That is why John Roberts approved Obamacare. He is Statist also and believes if those in power want to take some sort of action, they have the right to do so.
Right. I was halfway listening to Ryan’s speech just now. One phrase I heard sent up the red flag. He said he wanted to “make peoples’ lives better.”
THAT is the fatal flaw in ALL the government types, regardless of the ideology that they espouse.
That mindset is, and always shall be, incompatible with liberty.
