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.

You know why people bash their heads in a wall? Because it feels so good when they stop. Some however like to bash their head in a wall endlessly and tell themselves it feels good.
The pain just gets worse and worse but they learn to like it. Because they just fear life without that constant pain.
Rather than bash their heads on the gate of Buckingham Palace, the founders stopped, overcame the fear and forged a country.
The difference in the quality of people then and now, is obvious. Today, with no real fear of a British, GOP Or Obama regiment breaking down their door, they can’t muster the courage to overcome their established pattern of fear. So expect the bashing to go on, Hillary or another lib to be elected when the chosen GOP liberal loses and right wing sites to explode, again as always, with anger at the people that refuses to bang their heads in time and proper liberal key.
I am given a similar choice every two years. Last year I finally voted for the communist. He didn't really have a chance, but at least he had more of a chance than any of the third party candidates. When you vote for a third party candidate it's only one vote against the RINO. When you vote for the designated communist, it's two votes against the RINO.
And what could be the worst thing that would happen if you helped to elect the communist? Would he/she really do more damage than the RINO? The good news would be that if your district is like mine, the communist would only be there for two years and might be replaced by someone who understands why the previous Republican was voted out of office after ten consecutive terms.
As for Levin and all the Levin lovers out there, the great Constitutional scholar refuses to even discuss what he thinks "natural-born citizen" means. He certainly never had any sort of discussion about authenticity of the Obama proffered birth certificates when I used to listen. Instead of picking a target, isolating it, and killing it, like his supposed political opponents, he allows himself to be distracted by a different affront to our Republic every few days.

The solution is obvious, painfully obvious. We are all passengers and the pilot is Obama and his co-pilot is Boehner. We are going down. The only effective argument is comprised of the words stated by Todd Beamer on 9/11. Those were words that the Founding Fathers understood.
Just the ugly fact, Colonel. This nation is not going to be saved by soap box or ballot box. Someday it will be entirely in ashes, well-deserved, because nobody was willing to open the ammo box or even close the cash box.
Postscript: I would estimate that not 1 American in 10 is sufficiently literate to grasp what Mark Levin has to say.
Some questions come to mind:
1. Why would anyone expect Boehner to NOT use the power he has to punish Republicans who vote with the Democrats?
If he’s “bad”, he WOULD use that power. If he’s “good”, he SHOULD use that power.
2. Why would Meadows think that voting WITH the Democrats to block DEBATE — unless a pork-laden transportation bill is passed FIRST — would somehow “send a message”? How about eMail? How about debate? How about a face-to-face “message” delivered at, you know, a MEETING?
Levin has explained many time his aversion to the “don’t vote — sit home” tactic and the third party Perot tactic.
He has been plain that he holds his nose and votes and advocates Republicans for tactical reasons. What is so damn hard to understand about that stance.
Gingrich got tossed from leadership by a straw that broke the camels back. That time can be reached with Captain Orange.
His tactical idiocy elected Bhoner, Mitch and set the GOP spiraling left at warp 0. Straws all lined up and made him their leader. Polar opposite of Gingrich’s fate.
Freaking Brilliant.
Edit. Warp 9
He could have easily withheld funding of Obamacare and let it crash and burn.
He could have impeached corrupt judges abusing their authority for striking down state constitutions upholding traditional marriage.
He could have stopped the spending.
2 Republican mid-term landslides pissed away.
Huh? If one is being "tactical" then it would have been very wise to suggest to all Conservatives to vote for the RAT over Boehner in 14. We were always going to keep the House in 14. The loss of Boehner's seat would have been good for Conservatives.
Levin angrily dismissed the caller who advocated voting for the RAT over Beohner. Levin was wrong. He was not being tactical or practical.
I admire Levin but he is too blinded to see the true evil of the GOPe.
Yes, he rants against the GOPe and says all the right things, but I guess in 16 he would still advocate voting for RAT over Boehner -- nuts!
Maybe anything (files) they have was a gift from HC.
I don’t think this should be a rant about levin. The rants should be directed at Bohner who is nothing but a tanned turd.
Just like Pelousy who heads up the RATS, he is free to do what he wants as he is in a safe district with his minions in place to ensure he stays in power. Worse, think of this, he is two steps from the white hut.
When his deputy was ousted in 14, he further pressed to solidify his hold on the party. He and Mitch the B..th are the worse thing ever for the GOP and may as well be RATs. Neither is conservative, both are self serving POSs who are no better then the RATs they replaced. Both are excellent examples of why the government has reached its pits and has ceased to be a force of good for the citizens of the US. The system needs a full overhaul or it is going to be replaced. The first place to start is to get the lobbyists out of control. The next move would be to take the capitol and move it to somewhere no one wants to be, like Ft Levenworth Kansas. That way, it would be a short walk for those who violate their oaths of office: the stockade.
Irrelevant Republican party bump for later...
There is one way to get rid of these slime balls. The Tea Party type candidates vote for Pelosi for speaker. The next day they call for another speaker election and see if the rinos stand with the democrats. If they do, they’re voted out. If they don’t, their neutered.
Aside from an indictment for illegal activities, or an unforeseen death, are there any other alternatives available to the House to remove this bastard?
Mark is a man of action and his heart is in this.
I can't believe people here make this comment.
Mark Levin's book, The Liberty Amendments is SOLELY responsible for the "Convention of the States" movement.

Mark is the most articulate spokesman for conservatism on TV or radio. Better than Rush, Hannity, and others. As our eloquent fellow Freeper, Nathanbedford, has stated, Mark is part of the solution and not the problem.
> Yea really,welcome to the party pal.
I’d rather Levin was late to the party than to not show up at all... the more we can shore up opposition to GOPe and their lackeys, the better.
So it’s not time yet to take Boehner?
Levin is well on top of political situations.
Perhaps he knows it can happen now?
There seems to be a push to isolate Free Republic from the Conservative political scene with the dissing of stalwart Conservatives. Not only Levin but others too.

Very true, thanks for your post.
