MARK LEVIN: BOEHNER’S RETALIATION AGAINST CONSERVATIVES MEANS OPEN WARFARE, TIME TO TAKE HIM DOWN

Breitbart ^ | June 20, 2015 | by MATTHEW BOYLE

[Jim Robinson]

It’s time for conservatives to take out House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)35% and all of his comrades in primaries, nationally syndicated radio host, New York Times bestselling author, and conservative movement thought leader Mark Levin argues in an exclusive comment to Breitbart News.

Levin’s comments come after Boehner’s retaliation against conservatives hit a new low this weekend, with a report from Politico about how House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT)80% —playing along with Boehner’s scheme to attack Republicans for voting their conscience—removed Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)96% as the chairman of a subcommittee on his full committee. Levin even compared Boehner to 20th century Communist Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and how he cleansed his government of all dissent.

“Speaker Boehner’s and Congressman Chaffetz’s removal of Meadows is the latest in a series of ideologically-driven attacks on conservatives. Boehner seems to think he’s Stalin cleaning out all opposition in the Kremlin,” Levin said. “No Republican Speaker in recent times has behaved with less integrity in his wielding of power.”

Levin said that Boehner, House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)45% , and Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA)74% —and more—each need to be removed by Republicans across the country in primaries in 2016. He says this is because the leadership has failed to learn the proper lessons from the astronomical defeat of now former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in 2014 in a primary against now Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA), the first time in U.S. history a sitting House Majority Leader was defeated in a primary. The position of majority leader was created in the late 1800s, so that means this never happened for more than a century—and Levin is calling out GOP leadership for failing to learn from the unprecedented event.

It is you that is full of shit

[Norm Lenhart]

Yes. And when the chips were down all the things he said against them evaporated. Do did the issues that led him to oppose these people evaporate as well? No they did not.

And when he advocated we elect these people we got all the reasons he opposes elected and empowered. That is a fools strategy and why we have had nothing but POS idiots since Ronaldus left office.

The whole “Dems are worse’ line is complete falact as we see daily with these liberals voting for the very things we oppose in a Dem. Thats a simple daily reality. The dems are not worse. Hamilton said it best. Better an enemy in their camp than yours.

People that knowingly supported and voted for these liberals have no right to complain. None. They flat out TOLD voters that if given power they would work with Obama. That was no deep internet only secret. They campaigned on it. You knew it, I knew it, Levin new it ...EVERYBODY new it.

How in the name of all that is holy can someone have a man say, on television, “If elected I will work with Obama” and then in anything resembling honesty say to themselves, Well, the dem doing that is worse”. How?

It is self deluding for anyone to make the absurd assertion Democrats are worse when they and the Republicans share so many common positions. And not just little ones. The big stuff.

Gay marriage...GOP Evolved and abandoned DOMA

Abortion - Numerous Pubs, INCLUDING the guys Levin backed in the general sidelined social issues and regularly play them down in the press.

Voter fraud - Not one GOP appendage will contest anything the democrats do.

Obamacare. Lots of show voting and then funding it completely 3 times

Iraq/Isis - Armed Isis at barry’s behest, Allowed Barry to piss away the lives and efforts of countless American soldiers and now agitate to send more back

Worse? Nor EVEN close to worse. Thats what Mark and the rest of the lesser evils got for their trouble. Somebody put those people in office knowing full well what they were getting.

[Norm Lenhart]

I don’t see you refuting any of my “shit”. Probably because you cant.

[driftdiver]

The bad press was done by the GOP. Look at the whack jobs the dems have but they don’t leave them out in the cold. If those conservatives toed the party line we would have been presented a different image.

[broken_arrow1]

I phoned my rep Kevin Brady way back when, to tell him to vote against Boehner’s continuance as Speaker and to take a stand against Obama and his illegal immigration invasion. The voice on the other end told me that Boehner was a solid conservative and to wait and see what he does.

I hate that I can’t pull the R lever any more, but I can’t vote for John Cornyn or Brady anymore. Any I will vote for Libertarian or anyone that will primary either of these A-holes.

[DH]

The Republicans won by a wide margin in the last election. Why? Simply because the totally naive and trusting Republican voters thought that the new House and Senate would kick “the boner” out along with his twin in the Senate and replace them with someone who would represent the will of the voters.

As sure as rain, once voted in, the Republicans stabbed their voters in the back and kept the current leader of both the House and Senate.

Will things ever change? NO!

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting, JimRob. HOORAY Mark!

1) Levin supported the primary opponents of both McConnell and Boehner.

Dems & the GOPe don’t wait for primaries. Why should conservatives? Cromnibus was a declaration of war, IMO. Yet no “conservatives” who voted for it were targeted. No conservative actions groups were organized to fight back while a Boehner stalking horse PAC spent $200k to attack conservatives.

We’ve lost six months and in the mean time Boehner has consolidated his partnership with Obama and directed many attacks on conservatives.

This episode is just more evidence there is no organized conservative opposition inside the beltway to the GOPe. Jim Jordan is free to arrange an aggressive PAC like Boehner did to attack conservatives. He isn’t doing that. Why is that?

[trebb]

I keep wondering what kind of doctored blackmail fuel ObamaJarrett has on boner. If this bum actually believes he’s helping our country in any way, he’s delusional.

That doesn't explain why the main body of repubs allowed him to remain as Speaker....some of the good guys resisted and they are the ones being punished (not to mention how their constituents are being punished...).

[nathanbedford]

I share the anger of both of you, indeed I admit to a degree of despair. I pride myself, perhaps immodestly, of being among those who have been screaming about the treachery of Rinos.

I want blood on the floor of the House and the Senate (figuratively speaking, of course) in which Rinos are dumped from office. I accept virtually every one of the solutions which you two recommend. I myself have more than once suggested that we ought to consider the possibility of electing a Democrat in Boehner's and McConnell's place.

Mark Levin has been sounding the same tocsin of alarm and he has illustrated his warnings with anecdotes from his own participation in the Reagan administration. His conservative bona fides extend that far back and they are genuine because they are moments of real action. The last one I remember is his recounting the story of finding Saul Alinsky's books being distributed by the Carter administration at our cost.

Mark Levin has given the history of Rino domination of the party and their resistance to Ronald Reagan context so that we understand who the Bushes are, who the rest of them really are. He recounts betrayal by Orin Hatch on his program.

Mark Levin is not the problem, he is part of the solution, why in God's name do we shoot the messenger?

[Buttons12]

There’s pro- and anti-Levin on this thread.

The problem with Levin (and most everyone else) is that he’s only right in principle.
Principles alone never get you anywhere. George Washington had them, Paul Revere had them.
Yesterday I had occasion to think of Revere when I saw a post saying that the current condition of America is “intolerable.” Revere would doubtless have a different understanding of the word. We today tolerate our government and our culture too; in fact we support it with our labor, and our money.
Our leaders do not care about our principles, they want our tolerance, compliance, and above all our money.
That is why I am often ashamed to complain about things to the extent that most other conservatives do. I pay taxes. I pay the jizya of the infidel who doesn’t believe in pc, white guilt, climate change, socialism, and pro-abortion. And the leaders don’t care what I believe as long as I pay.
Nobody’s going to heed Levin’s advice just because it’s right. He’s only right. When the rubber meets the road, when principle meets practice, he can do nothing but support the GOP or the Rats, so he supports the GOP. Just like when November rolls around the fourth time, I can vote for Bob McRomney or the communist. Either way I have my principles and they have my money and the power they derive from my cooperation.
The people who gave us America — such as Washington and Revere — did not cooperate. For them it was liberty or death.

[madmominct]

“Mark Levin is not the problem.”

Hear, hear. Mark is one of the most articulate and conservative voices out there. He does not deserve to be disparaged.

[stilloftyhenight]

We could use a few good spys to follow these guys around and see what they get up to. Somebody blackmails them. We need to find and reveal the secrets. Expose them.

[Norm Lenhart]

When the message runs 100% contrary to everything you believe in and stated above come election day, I’d think that would be pretty easy to answer.

Because thats what he does. And all the good works get flushed every election he does it.

What point is there to rah rah conservatism for 729 daus and then say “You know what? Lets just forget everything we said and did working toward this day for 24 hours and elect the RINO no matter what?”

That question is based on the actual actions of many right wing heroes and it has an answer. The answer is that it doesn’t make a damn bit of sense. Now why that is, we can debate. But ultimately it puts the very people you and I dispise into power.

So unless we have a brain injury messing with our sense of logic and reason, we can only come to one conclusion. It is a mistake to do it. Even if the guy doing it is a right wing superstar. ESPECIALLY if he is because like Stan Lee said, With great power comes great responsibility.

Now I don’t think you can fault the logic there because I believe it is solid.

Flashback to March 2015:

Boehner: 'I think' I can lead conservatives in House GOP caucus

[Colonel_Flagg]

Just like when November rolls around the fourth time, I can vote for Bob McRomney or the communist.

But that's not true. There are always other options. They are immediately derided as "unelectable", but that's only because not enough people consider them.

Sooner or later, the sea change is going to have to happen in the conservative movement and the Republican Party is going to have to lose its base if we are ever going to see real change in this country.

If enough good conservatives like Mark Levin finally make the move they've been threatening to make -- in other words, take actual, relevant action -- a third party conservative movement will threaten the Republican Party's power and influence to the point where it will have to change or die. It won't happen a single moment before it's forced to change.

[Slambat]

“I keep wondering what kind of doctored blackmail fuel ObamaJarrett has on boner.”

It seems to be in most cases homosexual pedophilia. For both
Boehner and McConnell, I wouldn’t doubt it.

[Buttons12]

Effectively.

I can vote for Bob McRomney or the communist, effectively. That better?

Refer to innumerable comments here and everywhere, on the consequences of third-party voting and staying home.

None of which was the option chosen by the men who forged a nation here. Which was the point I was making.

[Colonel_Flagg]

I can vote for Bob McRomney or the communist, effectively. That better?

Better, yes. A solution, no.
