What if you have a job and a family to support? Are we supposed to charge ahead while they get us fired and then go work flipping burgers while fighting the left?

Founding Fathers did, too, when they led the Revolution against the King.

The problem we are up against even if you rallied everyone together is that Republicans are inherently law abiding citizens with morals and integrity and the criminal Democrats do not have any of these values or scruples and fight dirty. Conservatives try to play by the laws and rules and the liberals observe no rules at all. It’s an unfair playing field from the get go. Conservatives are too good for their own good.

This new conservative fighter has to rid themselves of their self-righteousness about the kind of tactics they will have to use to take on the left’s machine.


I am not sure I disagree, but there is danger of becoming them if you use the same tactics...…………………...

I nominate Governor Matt Bevin to lead any such force. EVERY Politician should look at what Gov. Bevin has accomplished in Kentucky and how he fights back against a media establishment that hates him and all conservative ideas and how Gov. Bevin not only beats them at their own game, but makes them irrelevant. Trump is the only tougher fighter out there and we NEED guys and gals like Bevin and Trump.

Woohoo.. sign me up for Sherif Clarke. Unfortunately the prez is about to sign more spending bills, which finance their agenda without a penny for our freedom.
After reading about vote harvesting, I agree with boots on the ground. Unfortunately most of us work 60 plus hours a week, we don’t have any funding.
I do not endorse acting like anarchists, jackboots or brownsirts.
Watched the patriot last night... that is our model.
The day one promises from the GOP are lies. God bless a woke patriot. And the liars of the GOP can rot in hell, starting from the top, who are funding it.

After the election when Reid was confronted about the outright lie he smugly responded, “It worked didn’t it?”

pragamatism + opportunism = nazi tactics

Well, when I read about the hordes of conservative fighters getting fired I’ll join them.

Great column — by a retired guy with a nice pension who’s not actually going to be *in* the fight that he wants someone else to take to the enemy.

The problem is that conservatives, fundamentally, are people who just want to be left alone, while liberals, fundamentally, are people who *enjoy* getting into other people’s business and telling them how to live.

Try to get conservatives to act like street-thug liberals, and pretty soon we’ll be following some guy whose rhetoric is kind of out there, but by gosh, what he’s doing to fight the left seems to be *working*, and y’know, his idea that we should all wear matching brown shirts, so can identify each other on the street, actually makes a kind of sense...

No, you measure your capacity for risk and take precautions. If necessary, you work quietly and without public attention. No bumper strips on the car, no political talk, except in private among those you trust, and if you work among Democrats or liberals, act dumb and disavow any serious interest in politics. In that way, strictly on personal time, I once ran a winning local political campaign while a state employee in an office loaded with liberal Democrats. Otherwise, educate yourself, develop campaign skills, and collect information that can be used for the benefit of good candidates.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;
if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly;
you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.

“There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

-Sir Winston Churchill

“This new conservative fighter has to rid themselves of their self-righteousness about the kind of tactics they will have to use to take on the left’s machine.”

Our forefathers didn’t use “approved” tactics when fighting for our freedoms. They hid in the trees and ambushed the redcoats.

Same means, different ends.
