A statement of a modern-day Sun-Tzu.
In contrast to what we are told regularly by the GOP that "hispanics are by nature conservative", the most recent Pew poll on how immigrants think about government, "hispanics" -- legal and illegal -- polled at 70 percent for bigger government and more government services. The RINOs (i.e., Republican Party leaders) know this, despite what they say.
So, having no intention of securing the southern border and having every intention of granting amnesty to millions of these illegal Mexicans (a huge voting bloc), the GOPEs know they must continue to promote larger and larger government and offer more and more welfare benefits rather than uphold the U.S. Constitution. Continuing to elect RINOs/GOPEs only slows this process down a little whereas the Democrat-Socialists want to accelerate it.
It calls to mind the frog in the heated water scenario. So it seems to me if we don't stand in the way of speeding up the process by continuing to elect RINOs, then maybe -- just maybe -- the voters in this country might start to notice its rapid decline ...
If only more people realized how this game needs to be played.
For those Biblically minded, I will point out this.
2 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
6And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
It's not your numbers, but what sort of men you send that matters.
