I confess that for some time I had been in the "lesser of two evils" camp believing that there always seemed to be one more emergency or one more threat that meant that the country simply could not survive a Democrat administration. I remember invoking this argument on behalf of George W. Bush against John Kerry while we were fighting in Iraq and I even found reasons to support John McCain because Barack Obama was a radical leftist, even a communist.

It has become clear now beyond debate that it matters not, at least not enough when measured against a long perspective of history, whether a Rino or a Democrat holds office in the Congress or in the White House. This is a hard statement but the behavior of the Rino Republicans in Congress has made disillusionment the only enlightened reaction. The administration of George W. Bush, while conservative in some respects, was so flawed from an ideological point of view that it forfeited respect for the few good and well intentioned things it did but, alas, many of them even miscarried. One need only look at judicial appointments of Bush father and son to make that point.

In my defense I would say that it is necessary to go the full measure if one wants to own the high moral ground. In other words, it was necessary for the world to see how Hitler despised Neville Chamberlain's well-intentioned policies of appeasement in order to clear away the debris of misunderstanding and make plain the kind of evil Hitler represented. Because of Chamberlain's concessions by 1939 no thinking person could dispute Hitler's guilt for starting the war.

So now we know, Churchill was right and Norm was right too, there can be no modus vivendi with these people, it is war to the death with the Republican establishment. In war there is only one strategy and that is victory. Either the Republican Party is riven asunder and the Democrats proceed to destroy the Republic, or conservatives prevail and save the Republic. Either conservatives win and save the Republic or Rinos prevail and combine with Democrats to squander our heritage.There is no accommodation possible. No appeasement now. It is September 1939.

Factor in a global currency meltdown and you have the recipe for a big “Charlie Foxtrot”

Hear hear.
I believe it is a combination of blackmail and the lawlessness, cavalier sinning, if you will, that has made this occur...there are curbs and rails that are just not there in these turds’ minds anymore. Lying is a primary language. God plead continue to hold up Mr Cruz’s arms.

Totally agree Nathan. An enemy in the front is never as dangerous as a traitor in the rear.

“I confess that for some time I had been in the “lesser of two evils” camp believing”

It is good to have one’s eyes open.

Well said, Nathan. Atlas Shrugged is now nonfiction. Ted Cruz is John Galt.
