A Reminder "This is an Insurgency"
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 3-5-2016 | sundance

Posted on 03/05/2016 5:45:40 PM PST by smoothsailing

The goal of any insurgency is to work earnestly against the ruling power structure.

patriotLook closely at the avatar (pictured image) that I have continually used since we formed this Last Refuge.

What you’ll note is it represents a singular character who recognizes the power structure is two political parties that no longer represent the people; but rather represent their own interests, the “UniParty” of Limo-Democrats and Vichy Republicans.

DC representing their own best interests, financial interests, the interests of Wall Street and Globalists.

The Democrats and Republicans working together to maintain their collective place at the political trough, and a character personified by a patriot trying to dispatch that ideological alignment.

There is a very good reason why this little corner of the internet is labeled The Last Refuge. An example today is highlighted in Maryland at CPAC, where Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, gave a speech and received a standing ovation from “conservatives” in the audience.

The “conservative” audience stood and cheered for a former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, a federal “Budget Expert”, who only two months ago spearheaded the passage of an Omnibus Spending Bill giving the government unlimited spending and elimination of the debt ceiling.

The “conservative” CPAC audience stood and cheered for a budget chairman who never passed a single budget, and instead for the past 8 consecutive fiscal years has maintained federal spending growth through continuing resolutions and omnibus spending bills.

Speaker Paul Ryan received a standing ovation.

From “Conservatives”.

Stop and think about that for a few minutes.

So when you look at the election today – think about the same mindset characterized within those cheering fans are also showing up at the polls.

It should come as no surprise to see the onslaught of the national media and republican party’s professional propaganda working diligently on the psyche of the electorate. If the professional political class can “gaslight” an electorate so successfully as to get an audience consisting of thousands of “conservatives” to cheer for Paul Ryan, what exactly do you think is possible in all of the remaining states that hold elections?

This is a delegate race now. The goal of the UniParty, including professional Democrats, professional Republicans and the Wall Street interests they represent, is to stop the vulgarian Donald Trump from casting them into irrelevance. They are fighting for their livelihood… There are trillions of dollars of graft at stake.

Their goal, as openly admitted by UniParty leadership (Mitt Romney et al) is to block Donald Trump. The tool to block candidate Trump is to use the same splitter strategy they constructed in 2014 when it was originally designed to benefit Jeb Bush; only with this modified approach they want to block candidate Trump.

Anyone who can assist the UniParty is currently useful, including Senator Ted Cruz. The crowds will cheer for their success just like the crowds at CPAC today cheered for Paul Ryan.

This is the Last Refuge, and candidate Donald Trump is the best hope for the insurgency.

It is about delegates, not states – D.E.L.E.G.A.T.E.S.

Keeping UniParty Senator Marco Rubio below certain thresholds is critical. Keeping Wall Street’s Ted Cruz below certain thresholds (50%) is critical. Gaining delegates to maintain a sizable lead is critical. Winning states is NOT critical.

If Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz can both arrive at the National Republican Convention having amassed most of the delegates, a fight will begin for who should win the nomination.

At that point the argument should be who is the better candidate to defeat Hillary Clinton, and reasonable people will admit candidate Trump has shown an ability to win with independents, blue collar democrats, Reagan Dems, blue-dogs and the America-First independent-minded common sense electorate.

The argument “should be“…

…..however, today “conservatives” stood and cheered for Speaker Paul Ryan.

So keep expectations in perspective.

We’re all ‘Insurgents’ now?
A new meaning for that term.

This country belongs to “We The People”. We are taking it back. That is like stopping a hostile takeover. Insurgency does not sound like protecting what is yours.

I’m a bit uneasy about the Conservative Treehouse. On the one hand, they articulate the insurgent nature of this election cycle very succintly, but they fail to see that Ted Cruz is as much a part of the insurgency as Trump. Now, before I get dogpiled, I will vote for Trump WITHOUT HESITATION if he is the nominee, and I feel like anyone declaring their intent to stay home if that is the case would be just as much to blame for a Hillary win as they were for 0bama’s second term (Say what you will about Mittens— and make no mistake, he pissed me the eff off too— it would have been better than round 2 of 0bama.)

However, if Ted Cruz is the nominee, I will also vote for him WITHOUT HESITATION. I don’t get the vilification of Cruz. I mean, I get that when you have a preference for one guy out of two, one will be elevated while the other is brought down, but I say let the candidates duke it out. The animus I see from the people regarding Cruz is just... well, it’s silly. Honestly, can anyone who is absolutely dead set on Trump winning see any kind of negative about a Cruz presidency over Hillary?

I just hope that if Ted Cruz does ultimately win the nomination, the hardcore Trump supporters among us will get behind him. Likewise, those dead set on Ted Cruz, please don’t take your marbles and go home if Trump gets the nom.

This is too important, and these silly purity tests only lead to more democrats winning. Democrats who seem to be better at this election business than Republicans, it seems. I rarely hear about the lefties that stay home because their nominee doesn’t tick off every box on the checklist.

Good morning! I think you’ve written a fair assessment of the back and forth between Trump and Cruz súpporters.

I would only suggest that the vitriol, venom, and childish taunts are equally distributed between the two camps. There is no clear winner. I’m guilty of some of it myself. It’s not helpful and I will stay out of such fights from now on and hope all others will do the same.

We need to focus our fire on the Democrats and their blatant creation and encouragement of illegal alien voters, and the Cheap Labor Express, and the GOPe sellouts to the Cheap Labor Express.

Exactly and well put! My biggest fear in all of this is that these rifts that are developing among people on our side are getting deep and that they may remain after the election. I’ve also been guilty of flinging mud, and I pledge to stop it and get behind whoever wins the nomination. I think right now, we all should focus our efforts on getting a fair convention and making sure it’s not stolen from the rightful winner of the the primaries and caucuses, and then rally around our candidate and steamroll Hillary.
