Mitch McConnell to Conservatives: Drop Dead
Conservative HQ ^ | 4/24/2015 | George Rasley

Posted on 04/24/2015 9:37:00 AM PDT by kingattax

Yesterday’s Senate vote on the confirmation of Loretta Lynch, President Obama’s nominee to succeed Attorney General Eric Holder, was a classic example of why talk among conservatives of forming a third party alternative to the establishment Republican Party will not die.

Not only did the usual jelly-backed Senate Republicans vote to confirm Lynch, they were led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose job is, ostensibly, to be the leader of the conservative opposition to Obama and his lawless progressive agenda.

In moving the Lynch nomination McConnell broke a pre-election promise that no attorney general nominee would be considered in his Senate if that nominee supported Obama’s executive amnesty, something that Lynch testified she supports.

So McConnell’s vote for Lynch was a sort of “go to hell” moment that conservatives should recognize for what it is: Mitch McConnell saying directly to the conservative Republican grassroots and the conservative movement that opposed Lynch that, despite the fact that conservative voters handed back the Senate majority to the Republican Party in 2014 to make him Senate Majority Leader, he not only doesn’t care what they think, he will go out of his way to disrespect them and confound their policy goals.

Lynch, who testified under oath that she would readily carry out policies contrary to the Constitution could have – indeed should have – been stopped by Republicans in the Senate, but she wasn’t.

No. We are not made of the same stuff as the Founding Fathers were. We are unwilling to give up our creature comforts. The chains of slavery will rest too light upon us for us to notice them. Until they are sure we are either unwilling or too weak to resist. At one time, I thought that the light of freedom here, if it ever was extinguished would be after a fierce bloody battle. In other words, It would go out with a bang. Now, from what I have seen happen, I am convinced that the light of freedom will go out with a whimper. In fact, I believe that it will go out so gradually that it will be gone for some time before any notices, or cares.

People that can’t find the courage to even vote for what they claim to believe in will do nothing but crawl around on the ground mewling like the cowards they are when the SHTF.

I feel sad for their children who will have to see that.

I figure I have 30 years left. I will never vote for a worthless RINO. I will never give the RINO party a penny. I will work against them. I will ridicule them given the opportunity. These freaks are dead to me.

IMO, the best thing you and those believing likewise can do it do do your damnedest to shut down the ‘Lesser evil” crowd wherever and whenever you encounter them. Ride them like the Lone Ranger on Silver. Make it too much work for them to spread their evil. Offend them greatly.

Here, IRL, everywhere. It’s all we can do at the moment. The alternative is to let them do what they always do and lure more sheep to the slaughter.

If we all stood up for what we believed and followed through, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Yea but without the maggots that sent them there, they couldn’t have sodomized America. The real evil is in those that gave them the opportunity.

Frog and Scorpion. You can’t easily blame the scorpion for acting according to his mature when you know he’s a scorpion. But you can blame the frog for being an idiot.

And no one on FR can say they didn’t know Bhoner/Mitch and that crew were scorpions.

So few will call a spade a spade. They don’’t want to alienate themselves by saying or acting on truth. They would rather destroy their own credibility as long as they can stay in the cool kids club.

High school never ends. Coward then, cowards now.

But they still want your money and your votes. A $2 hooker gets treated with more respect than Conservatives get.
