If the GOP wants to win elections it will have to nominate candidates WORTH voting for in their own right.
Kevin Williamson, by this article, proves himself an incurable airhead and a counterfeit "conservative." Bil Buckley would be soooooo ashamed. More likely, Williamson and others of his ilk would be fired.
Clearly the author does not understand the degree of disaffection toward the establishment GOP that would motivate conservatives to do precisely that. It is not simple stubbornness, it is the complete loss in faith that the difference between the two parties is anything other than the difference between a swift and a slow poison. That's a few dimes, to be sure, but not a dollar's worth.
Barack Hussein 0bama and his merry band of crooks, racists, and bullies, are not moderates, they are not compromise candidates, they are not bipartisan, and yet they occupy the highest reaches of power. The counter to that is not a smirking chumship. These people are at war with the country and have behaved in that way, perhaps the only honest thing about them.
The truth is that pandering to the media or to the racial or economic pressure groups that constitute the backbone of the Democrat party is futile and counterproductive. We are not going to win these people over. They have to be defeated, to the degree to which it becomes they, and not we, who will be reaching out for common ground. We saw in the brutal, partisan imposition of 0bamacare how they intend to operate, where they have attempted to set the bar. To accept that as the new baseline, which all of the candidates mentioned with the exception of Cruz appear willing to do, is to accept a creeping surrender. No more.
Maybe so eventually, but first let’s use the peaceful means our framers bequeathed to us, through an Article V state convention to propose structural amendments to the constitution.
People are not ready for the solution. Despite the millions of people facing a multitude of problems, there are still millions more with too much to lose. It is why things have descended as far as they have. When enough people lose too much they will be willing to do what is necessary to restore their birthright. Liberty.
It’s over. There is no possibility of a political solution. We are outnumbered and that is a permanent position.
We either take power violently or power will be violently taken over us.
