Many of us are carrying a burden of rejection and betrayal by the party we thought stood for strong Constitutional conservative values, Life, and family strength. For those of us who have voted, sacrificed, and worked for the GOP over decades, the disappointment with the National Party is deep.
I have come to believe now, with recent passage of the Omnibus Bill sell out, that there is utterly no hope left for us left with the National Republican Party; and by default they no longer can be distinguished as a separate and viable opposition to the Democrat Party. In effect we are no longer a two party system, except in name only.
Now is the time to think carefully and cooly before we do what is in our power, to destroy the entire party. Please do not throw out good DOWN BALLOT conservatives; while voting out the GOP betrayers and liars in the US House and Senate. The National Republican Party,It's legislative, administrative officials, and yes, the corrupting special interests and money connections, must be rejected and cast out.
We do, however, need the support of the honest true believing base: from State Legislatures, to State, county and local officials,WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND. Since 2010 over 1,000 Dems. have been replaced largely by conservative R's across the Country. Our problem has been with the corrupted and compromised National GOP.
In the 1980's fiscal and religious conservatives took the "grass roots"of the Party, from Precinct Committee Through State Central Committee; including a huge majority of delegates to the National Republican Conventions. This can be done again with hard work! Instead of using our organization and unity to take the higher offices of National Party Leadership; we settled on changing the Party Platform only. What an opportunity was lost then; but our people could not accept the the personal sacrifices required.
To succeed we must find that resolve today. This is difficult. The reason is simple: We are not driven by the same burning lust for power and money , that our adversaries often are. Our reasons are for principles: Family,Patriotism, and building a free and powerful civilization to leave to our children.
We must decide to become "Citizen Soldiers" again for a time now; and make these principles our priorities, if we are to have an America that will restore the years the Locust have eaten". I think we can and believe we will.
Let's join our neighbors and FIGHT.
Apparently a house built on an old foundation leans left.
This CQ quote explains what is going on in DC...
Carroll Quigley > Quotes
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies... is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.â€

Carrol Quigley’s words sting but they are true. Finally millions of Americans are beginning to realize that the whole system is rigged from the top down. Washington controls everything in both parties.
Hopefully Mr. Trump will win and be beholden to on one. He can attack the Uniparty. He can become the new kingmaker. He would endorse candiates and millions of people will vote for them. When Trump endorses a candidate people will send their money to that person instead of the GOPe. Many donors will have a place to go other than the RNC. Things are going to be shaken up.
As the article implies, the Republican Party needs to be replaced. A new party needs to be formed reflecting conservative ideals. Forming the new party has to be done quickly and on line. Ideas should posted here and on any applicable site or medium. Please help get this project off the ground to give support to the new Conservative president next year.
