Posted this earlier today on the big thread...


I have renewed hope with this and a couple other threads in the last couple days. I see many of the names I have argued with since the primaries coming around to our way of thinking and realizing that the lesser evil/win at any price crap is just that.

To be sure, there are some hardcore statist types determined to mock us, but, and I address this to anyone still reading this thread, they have nothing ‘but’ mockery.

The facts of history are what they are. One does not go right by moving left. Someone DID vote for unprincipled GOP politicians and got them elected. Those unprincipled GOP politicians DID stand idly by while DOMA was tanked. They DID vote with the dems on amnesty. They DID NOTHING to stop a gay takeover in the military.

And they HAVE DONE NOTHING to defund Obama’s destruction of America. Not one damn thing. If they did, then show it.

Now on a near 500 post thread with a wide cross section of the Freeper body politic participating, I want the lesser evil defenders to show us all exactly WHY we should go with that broken philosophy when the past month has CLEARLY and UNAMBIGUOUSLY shown the very real results of what comes from it.

We have here the seed of the actual ‘Rebellion” that Jim talks about actually sprouting. —For real.— We have people waking up to their past mistakes and saying “No More!”

And yet, and like clockwork, we have people demanding we get our collective tails back in the closet and back to the GOP plantation.

If all the new converts really and genuinely have had a come to Jesus moment over this, and I pray to God they have, I want people to stand up for what they believe in. I want them to stand up and reject our past mistakes and tell these GOP suckups to go straight to hell. If we collectively can’t do that, something that basic and simple to the issue, then I really do not see the point in even discussing the matter at all. We should all just drop politics entirely and do what we are told.

Amen, brother.

Bottom line - you get what you vote for. Keep voting for stealth Democrats, and that's exactly what the political class will continue to serve up to us.

That's exactly what happened in the last two elections. In 2008, enough decent Americans surrendered their solemn votes to the traitorous cabal in the RNC, that they felt rewarded, and gave us more of the same in 2012.

The big brains in the RNC then performed an 'autopsy' to figure out why we lost again, and came to the conclusion that they'd better widen the 'tent' and double down on their leftward slide.

The morons can't see that they're driving their base away from the party. They're watching the Democrats win, and are drawing the wrong conclusion, i.e., that they're winning elections because of their political philosophy. That's only partially true. The Dems win elections because their candidates don't stray off the party reservation, and that's why their base overwhelmingly supports them.

It's never occurred to the dim bulbs running our party that if their candidates did the same as the opposition, that is, stand firmly on the principles their base endorses, that they'd win too.

There are several articles today about what’s going on in Egypt, and here’s a link to the TB2 thread about it, check out the photos:

Turkey’s been doing the same thing. The massive protests are AGAINST Islamic rule. Mil helicopters in Egypt have shown support for the anti-Morsi protests, and mil sources said 14 to 17 million anti-Morsi protesters today.

I think we need mass protests/civil disobedience here. Been saying this for months actually.
