I Am No Longer a Republican
christianpost.com ^ | 12/21/14 | Matt Berber

Posted on 12/22/2014 11:20:17 AM PST by cotton1706

I am no longer a Republican. John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and their Democrat-lite, RINO Republican establishment have seen to that. They have betrayed their own constituents. They have actively turned against the American people – the very voters who granted them power to do good.

Even before the gavel has sounded on the Republican-led 114th Congress, these treacherous cowards shamelessly, eagerly, it seems, squandered perhaps the one opportunity they had to stop, in his tracks, America's first cultural Marxist, anti-American, palpably evil president.

If ever there were, there can no longer be any doubt. Barack Obama is bent on turning the land of the free and the home of the brave into the land of the conquered and the home of the weak. He is an egalitarian globalist who hates America. He has repeatedly spat upon the very Constitution he was sworn to uphold.

Last month Republicans were elected by "We the people" in an unprecedented landslide – in a Democratic Party bloodbath – with clear marching orders. They were given one task and one task alone.

Stop Barack Obama.

They have failed both miserably and willfully.

What's worse is that the Republican establishment has worked in concert with this wicked man. They have aided and abetted him as he and his godless Democratic Party summarily deconstruct all that has made America great. The Republican Party is complicit in the ill-fated fall of the American Empire.

I don't know what kind of dirt Barack Obama and his NSA-KGB have on John Boehner, but within a week of the elections it became abundantly clear that the GOP would betray us.

Keep telling yourself that. BUSTED — you vote to turn the party Left no matter how you spin it. If you think I stink because I speak the truth ... maybe you need a bath.

YOU can go on voting to turn the Republican party left.

Exactly. Giving their money to them, too. Lol. These yahoos WANT a leftist government. They should get it. And I hope they all deal with the consequences too.

I read what you wrote in it's entirety, but the question was 'What option do we have that's better than voting for the GOP'?

The only answers I've gotten, including yours, is to become a kamikaze pilot for a yet-undefined third party. Any of them will do, I'm reading.

Sorry, it's not 'better'. It's actually worse than 'Keep voting the same way'.

I do appreciate that you put a lot of effort into your response, though. I do read what's written to me.

You know, I'm curious: What part of the factual statement below flies so far over your head?

You gotta own what you vote for -- it's the price of voting "against."

What part of that don't you understand?

The ONLY kamikaze approach here is voting for the likes of Romney and other so-called "moderates." THAT is the only kamikaze approach on my menu. Re read it.

Voting for a Republican whose record is on five major fronts squarely on board with the Democrat agenda, as Romney's was, is 100 percent the tact of a kamikaze pilot.

Or are you, too, incapable of owning what you are willing to vote FOR?

You are wearing very tight blinders. I am willing to vote FOR a plurality to weaken whichever leftist bastard wins. YOU don't even see that option. The only one you see is the imaginary voting "against."

“I didn’t vote this year because I thought nothing would change.
Looking back on it, I feel more at peace with my decision than ever.”

I did the same back in 2012. As soon as I stopped having expectations that any politician was going to make any significant change, I felt better immediately.

My oldest brother (may he rest in peace)
simply quit voting back in the 80’s using the same kind of logic.
I could never really understand it and argued with him about it.

I can half way understand it from folks that are in deep blue states.
But as for me, I will never give up.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.

“I could never really understand it and argued with him about it.”

When you step back from it you can get a clear look at how it’s all the same.

That’s why I don’t always get the straight on hate from members of either party.

The Dems hated GWB but love Obama even tho they’re supporting pretty much the same agenda.

Repubs loved GWB, he was a big favorite here for a long time, and hate Obama even tho the agenda is basically the same.

It’s really more of a team sport mentality now than anything to do with policy.
Policy and agenda are not far off each other regardless of the party.

I remember back when GWB was in office and the GOP took both houses of congress, to hear the democrats talk you’d have thought that there would soon be a law against not being a Repub and that the constitution was about to be repealed. Fast forward to Obamas first term. Same hysteria except the sides have switched.

I vote on local matters because my vote really can make a difference there but there’s not any kabuki theater to that.

It’s not 2 sides that are essentially the same trying to appear as opposites and using mass media to whip their fan base into a froth.

If I want to see media induced irrational sports hate, I’ll watch the Yankees Red Sox games.

So you’re not really even for any particular thing as long as “your” team wins or to be more precise “their” team loses.

JMHO but that’s a whole lot of why we’re in shape we’re in.

But I don’t worry with it anymore. As I already said both sides are about the same.

I will type this very slowly, just in case you are a slow reader.
I am not affiliated with any political party.
I see myself as a free person and I vote accordingly.
I hate democrats and everything they stand for.
If my choices are “bad” or “worse”, then I will vote for “bad”.

For christmas dinner, the main options are turkey or ham.
you can choose to vote for turkey, or
you can choose to vote for ham, or
you can choose to vote for goose, or
you can choose to vote for spaghetti, or
you can choose to vote for bar b cue, or
you can choose to say screw all of you people, and not vote.
But in the end you will have either turkey or ham.

The Republican party is as left wing as the Democrats used to be in the past. I only can support Conservative candidates who will oppose the left and not hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

I read fine thanks.

The food analogy doesn’t work. I have to eat to live. I don’t have to participate in national partisan elective politics so I don’t.

I don’t care how you make your choices or what those choices are.

It quit being worth the frustration for me. So I quit. I was amazed at how much better I felt and how much better my life got.
