Rove, Romney and the GOP-e set out to destroy the tea party, and they are succeeding
July 14, 2012 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 07/14/2012 4:44:03 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Rove, Romney and the GOP-e loathe pro-life Reagan conservatism, loathe the small government tea party and set out to destroy them both. I hate to admit it, but they are succeeding.

As I see staunch pro-life conservatives and tea party patriots folding their small government tents in favor of Romney's GOP-e progressive, big government big tent, I can't help but see not only the end of the tea party, but the end of pro-life, pro-liberty conservatism within the Republican party. And if we cannot quickly recover, the end of liberty in America. America's great experiment in self-government by believers in life and liberty destroyed, not by the liberal progressive statists of the Democrat party, but by the liberal progressive statists of the Republican party. Where the statist Democrats have failed, the statist GOP-e will have succeeded.

There is absolutely no doubt that Romney's pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-socialist healthcare, statist big government record is identical to Obama's. Once upon a time in the not so distant past, conservatives automatically shunned big government statists. The GOP-e and the malignant genius, Karl Rove, figured out how to outflank us and turn the GOP totally against Reagan conservatism and against pro-Life, pro-family, pro-small government conservatives. It's an engineered coup d'etat against traditional small government conservatism and it is deadly.

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.

The fear of Obama has turned many among us into squishes who will set the pro-life conservative movement back forty years or more by surrendering to the abortionist/homosexualist, statist progressive, big government, corrupt crony capitalist agenda within the GOP.

We should not fear Obama to the point we elect an overstepping statist just like him, we should be determined to impeach his usurping treasonous ass! We should shun the Gop-e, shun Karl Rove, shun Romney, shun all of the big government, big tent, RINOS who have taken over the GOP. Rather than surrendering to the big government forces, we should be working full-time to elect pro-life, pro-small government conservatives into the majority of elective offices throughout this great land. If ever there was a time for pro-life conservatives and tea party patriots to stand their ground, it is NOW!! SURRENDER TO STATISM? NUTS!!

With conservative majorities in the legislative branches of the federal government and in the majority of all state and local governments, we can impeach and remove or expel the traitors amongst us from their executive posts, their high benches or their legislative seats and reclaim our Liberty!!

I am shocked by the number of supposedly pro-life conservatives who would promote these abortionist/homosexualist statists and dismayed that so many tea party patriots would fold their tents. Romney is the natural biological father of the big government unconstitutional statist RomneyCare/ObamaCare program that was the spark that ignited the tea party. And now the tea party sadly seems to be on the brink of surrendering to him before the fight has even begun.

Not me. I stand firm for Life and Liberty!! No Obama!! No Romney!! NOT ON MY WATCH!!

God bless and keep you, dear RitaOK. It's all pretty darn simple for me. I have to have specific values to vote for which are found in our Constitution, so there's no useful purpose served trying to convince me to vote against the worst of two Constitutional usurpers.

TYVM. I'll be sure to check David Horowitz's site for information on his book.

Keep praying, non stop, for our Republic and also for a miracle in Tampa!

In fact I’m going to send Romney the money I was going to contribute to Free republic. Moderator: Close my Free Republic account.

Here's a person more enthralled and devoted to a flash-pan Gumby politician in (r) clothing who...
...beat Hillary & Obama to the draw re: healthcare socialism...
...told Katie Couric less than 1300 days ago that parents have Option A -- give up their offspring for adoption; or Option B -- give their offspring to "research"...
...is in favor of big govt...
...has a track record of appointing liberal judges...
...than he is to conservative principles, many of which are based upon a foundation of eternal worldviews.

What a nasty dig.

Going to give money he was going to give to FR to Romney.

I guess those $25 abortions were the kicker.

Is Karl Rove still in politics? Isn't he as out of the campaign game as (long-dead) Lee Atwater? He shows up on talk shows to give his views, but isn't he just as ignorable as any other talking head?

On June 24, 2008, Rove said of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, "Even if you never met him, you know this guy. He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone."

Seemed a strange comment at the time, but I can see it now. Not the country club or the beautiful date. Maybe not even the martini. But Obama is that guy with the cigarette standing against the wall making snide comments. Strange that anyone thought he'd be more than that.

That one is a surprise.

Never thought unkus would turn like that.

May his chains sit lightly upon him.

Those who wish to hijack the Tea Party movement to push social policy agendas do so at grave risk of destroying that important coalition. Do not overreach. Accept the common ground, the common principles and move the country in the right direction. Build on that over time or lose everything.

Well's somebody's parallel injection for the Tea Party to consider is deemed by too many a "hijack." Merely recognizing associated concepts and links isn't treating people who introduce those concepts as out-and-out "pirates" and "hijackers."

Allow me to provide an example:

I've seen articles -- and books -- on the economic effects of abortion.

For example...when you think of the dozens of millions of abortions in the U.S. (& hundreds of millions worldwide)...
* Think of how many less diapers and associated baby products have been produced;
* How many less classrooms have been filled...less need for curricula...educators...entire schools closed down due to that loss of a critical mass...
* And those dead babies never grow up either to be consumers or contributors to the economy or their communities...

Now, SOME people might want to carve some hermetically sealed line 'tween the economy and a "social policy" like abortion. What a tremendous lack of insight and discernment that would be.

The same could be said for experimental family configurations. What tends to be "tried out" experimentally more oft than not winds up with govt picking up the welfare and food stamp and other services' tab. So cohabitation, polygamy and polyamory arrangements and multiple partners may seem "remote" to economics; but it's not.

As long as people expect govt to be THE "safety net" for families, then social policies with $ consequences attached need to be addressed...even when some of these aspects are not "front and center."

Get Jim back on his meds! That screed is full of lunacy.If All jims succeed in not voting guess who will win. Are you going to like that result? We have to get Obama out, period.
Anything is better than four more years of his crap.

I like Free Republic and donate, but Jim is wrong!! If you follow his advise you will regret it. You may be proud of yourself, but stupid.


I'm sure you just forgot to ping the Freeper(as is customary at FreeRepublic) you were talking about in your post, so I did it for you.

It’s Jim’s site and I respect that. I agree with almost all the stances that this site stands for. I know Romney has a liberal past, but he was in Massachusetts for Pete’s sake. He will legislate to the right as pres. And, more than anything in the world, I want obama out. A second - even less accountable - term from obama will destroy this nation.

More of the GOP's version of "Hope and Change".

Hoping that the lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal Mitt Romney, has magically changed and will not either be a conservative or govern as a conservative.

This is sad.

"Obama is the worst incumbent president in history, surpassing even Jimmy Carter in that regard. And Romney is by far the worst prospective Republican nominee ever. Two losers who both deserve to lose. The American people deserve, and need, much better."

How many third-party candidates have ever been elected President basically campaigning by mooning the other two candidates on FreeRepublic?

You could be right, but it’s a huge gamble and the price the country would pay for such a defeat would be enormous. How much further left would the Supreme Court turn in another four years? How much more entrenched will socialism become? How much dangerous will the world grow and how much more vulnerable the US?

I would rather punch back at the Democrats and the media now, for who knows when (or if) we’ll get another chance. Especially if we let them continue to grow more powerful while letting ourselves become more fragmented. A Romney win may not advance conservatism but it may save the country from total disaster.

The alternative is too much of a gamble as i see it.

Yes, I’m not particularly happy about unkus’s leaving us, but I did notice that he has not been happy here for a while now, and that this is the second time that he asked to have his account closed.

I’m also so sorry that onyx has lost a dear friend of hers with his leaving.

I’m definitely not celebrating.
