“Yes, it had extremely low turnout, and Crowley was very complacent.”

Sort of like Hitlery.

With the exception of VDH, NRO was, to put it as charitably as possible, ambivalent about the idea of turning over the reigns of power to these radicals in Nov 2016. We all knew what they were, and they did too. But, they didn’t care. They put their pride before the country. They would rather preserve their status, income and power as “thought leaders” of an oppressed conservative minority than actually beat back this rising tide of communism from the left.

They can go to hell. I will never click on their site again, same with The Weakly Standard. I can read VDH in syndication.

Since “O” was smuggled through the back door into the WH... it’s been a full court press on Conservatism.

There is nothing new here except that there are MORE of them ... out in the light of day (like cockroaches).... spewing their extreme, outrageous and seditious BS, like nobody’s business.

Of course it ‘sells newspapers’ so they get the kind of media attention that magnifies their standing out of all proportion to their actual numbers. Only very young and very uneducated voters see it as authentic and factual.

Thanks NEA, for this perpetual wave of automatons you’re exploiting with a criminally mindless sameness, under the pretense of ‘education’.

You are serving NO ONE but the enemies of the United States.

Until they have an outright admitted communist run, they aren’t being honest.

Millineals should be more intelligent what with the free education and all. But they don’t understand that when the workers die off there’s no more “free” money.

Rinds me of an old movie about Poncho Villa played by Wallace Berry. When told the value of the peso was almost worthless he said “Then we’ll print more pesos”. Apparently the millennials think the government has all the money in the world. And it’s understandable. For their entire lives the government has been printing more money as it gave away more “stuff”. Someone needs to explain basic economics.

Ah yes, good old socialism. An idea so good it needs fascist tools and techniques to force it on the population that is too ignorant to know what's good for it. An idea so good that it has failed, every single time and place it has been tried.

But sure, this time it'll be different. Why, the people in charge last time just weren't smart enough. But this time it's "us" and we're much smarter than anyone else we know - we've been telling ourselves that, and since we're the smartest people in the room it must be true.


Does that even need a sarcasm tag?

As one of our great modern Conservative thinkers said many years ago, “inside every progressive is an authoritarian screaming to get out” (or words to that affect).

ALL past civility from the Left was done by them biting their tongue so as to not expose the nastiness they really felt.

This is a good thing. America is, at the very least, center right. The fringies will have a circular firing squad.

710,000 per Congressional district.

She got 15,000 votes.

Time for a moderate Hispanic, Republican man to run against her.

They seem to define “moderate” as being like LBJ.

The millinimals are hooked on virtual reality.

It’d be easier explaining economic reality to Wallace Beery!

Already? Damn, I missed seeing them even start.

Oh, well. I'll be on the lookout for when National Review are done pretending to be conservative.

I didn’t get the full story but think there were only 27,000 votes cast in a disrtict with hundreds of thousands of voters.

She was elected by a miniscule fraction of th electorate.

Is that a correct statement?


Yes, and the fact that Crowley was heir apparent to Pelosi speaks volumes. He essentially had no base in his district. Reminds me of when Tom Foley was voted out.

Yup. The veneer of moderation was a primary casualty of Hillary’s loss. It’s a BernieBot party now.

This is going viral on social media. Help spread it around. Scroll down to video:

https://pjmedia.com/trending/walkaway-campaign-urges-fed-up-democrats-to-leave-the-party/

“A new grassroots movement is urging Democrats who are fed up with the ugly direction the party has taken in recent years — especially since President Trump was elected — to “walk away.” The #WalkAway campaign is “dedicated to sharing the stories of people who can no longer accept the current ideology of liberalism and what the Democratic Party has become,” the group’s Facebook page states.

Some left long ago. Many of us have recently been “red-pilled”. Some here have wanted to leave for some time, but have feared the consequences they might suffer from friends or family if they walk away.

This group is here to encourage and support those on the left to walk away from the divisive tenets by allowing people to share their stories, or watch the video testimonies and read the posts of others who have walked away...”
