Don't Get Cocky, We Haven't Won Yet
PJ Media ^ | 5/6/2022 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 05/07/2022 10:10:39 AM PDT by Signalman

States nationwide are following Florida’s lead to protect parental rights in education. Hillary Clinton’s former campaign lawyer will soon be facing trial for lying to the FBI. Polls show Republicans are likely to make historic gains in the upcoming midterms and possibly retake both the House and Senate. And, maybe most importantly, the Supreme Court is on the verge of overturning Roe v. Wade.

Often with success comes arrogance. We assume that just because we’re winning now means that we’ll keep on winning. As you read this, the radical left is fighting harder than ever to limit free speech, target Donald Trump and his allies, indoctrinate our kids, and codify Roe v. Wade.

The fight is far from won. For example, last month, Joe Biden announced the Disinformation Governance Board—his own twist on the Orwellian Ministry of Truth, that will no doubt threaten free speech in this country under the guise of combating “disinformation.” The DGB is led by Nina Jankowicz, a woman who endorsed the bogus Steele dossier and dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation.

Meanwhile, the left is resorting to intimidation and scare tactics to save Roe v. Wade. They’re trying to convince Americans that Republicans are systematically stripping away the rights of the people.

Here at PJ Media, we’re fighting back hard against the radical left. We’ll report the stories the left doesn’t want the public to know about. We’ll call out the extremists who are trying to keep the radical left in power so they can strip away your rights as parents and silence debate. Will you join us in that fight?

And they’re going to have plenty of help pushing their lies. Facebook is still owned and operated by leftists, and Democrats have a virtual monopoly on the mainstream media.

The Democrats are going to cheat. If that doesn’t work, they will resort to extreme violence with protection from many police forces and/or the FBI.

The Deep State hasn’t felt a ripple. I don’t think it can be dislodged.

We haven’t won crap, given how the Neocons are using their escalation in Ukraine to distract the country. We’ll be in much better shape when that ends.

“If that doesn’t work, they will resort to extreme violence with protection from many police forces and/or the FBI.”

You’re 100% right. We’re already seeing threats of violence and chaos concerning the Dobbs decision. And that’ll be nothing compared to the tantrum the left will have if the GOP retakes congress this or the nuclear-level fallout that will happen in response to Trump being reelected in 2024.

I really thought the rioting and mayhem of the summer of 2020 would permanently sour the majority of law-abiding citizens on the left, especially when the chaos was egged on by the mainstream media and the Dem establishment, but sadly too many sheep bought into the media brainwashing about “mostly peaceful protests” and their narrative of the violence and looting and philistinism as a quite reasonable response to “systemic racism.” Let’s face it. This approach worked once for them, so why wouldn’t they do the same thing again?

If Republicans don’t run on and deliver on conservative fiscal policy of lower taxes and beating inflation, they can still lose in the Senate.

Republicans need to give people a reason to vote for them other than “hey, at least we’re not democrats!”

And if they win both houses of Congress and say, “well, we have to have the White House to get anything done,” I’ll lose my mind.

Pass bills every day and force Biden to veto them, then take your case to the American people explaining he’s preventing inflation reduction and tax relief.

Nice to have bloggers telling us how to think for ourselves.

We’ve got a long way to go.

I love Trump, but America’s future, like its past, dispends on the life, liberty, and free pursuits of the American People, not a despotic “welfare” totalitarian government.

Right now, Trump is using government in emergency measures to counteract the Left. But at some point, for America to be truly great again, our FREE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC MUST be restored which means the federal government takes a back seat and the America People through their sovereign states run the show.

This will not happen in one or two elections. We were founded as a nation under the inspired Supreme law of the Land, the Constitution, which is pointed DIRECTLY at the federal government and SEVERELY LIMITS its powers. To return as a nation under the Law of the Land means the federal government will again be severely limited and the people will be free from government coercion.

Right now, too much hope is focused on man and not enough hope focused on the Lord. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” May we once again trust in the Lord and put man and his government back into its constitutional cage where it belongs.

You are absolutely correct. Look at what they did to Trump. That’s just a taste of what’s in store for us down the road.

The Deep State is called what it is for a reason. Its entrenched.

The other side is fourth and twenty, they are about to pull a “Hail Mary” long pass. Sure not going to make it by expert blocking for the QB.

the 2nd abortion is no longer a “constitutional” right, we win.

I have no problem with fighting out the details from state to state, I had a MASSIVE issue with declaring it a “constitutional right” that would take a constitutional amendment to overturn.

The GOP provides little incentive for conservatives to vote for them. They are simply the lesser of two evils IMO.

Within hours after the election they will be making excuses and telling us they need more people on Capitol Hill to do anything. If they had total control in DC they would still be looking for ways to avoid doing what they were sent their to do. Some things never change.

Republicans don’t want to lead. They are at best weak appeasers. Anyone expecting the GOP to ever be more than it is is wishing for miracles.

Sometime that’s enough!

To me voting has two components:

1. A candidate you wish to give power to,
2. A candidate who under NO circumstances do you want them to have power.

Ideally you’re motivated solely by item 1. Sometimes its a combination of the two. For me in the cases of Zero & Hellary it was item 2.

Until such time as the Election Theft of 2020 is dealt with in a serious and determined manner, I have absolutely no trust or faith in the Election process. Not one little bit.

True, but this is a significant step forward.

It’s like when you clinch a playoff spot — a certian amount of celebration is appropriate, but then it’s time to ge tback to work.

I view weakness very negatively. Most R’s exemplify it and therefore don’t provide much in the way of motivation to vote for them. I suppose, however, that voting for people who do nothing and/or endlessly seek “bipartisanship” as an excuse to do the opposite of what they said they would do can be justified as the lesser of two evils.

If you give some serious thought to the range of consequences stemming from an oversized and overbearing government you may come to the conclusion (as I have) that the only people really worth voting for would be those who are committed to downsizing government and upsizing the individual. I firmly believe that the bigger government gets the smaller the individual is. There is a singular solution to this.

The problem, unfortunately, is that both parties love big government. If a new party were to arise that subscribes to our founding principles (i.e., limited government) it would offer millions of disaffected voters a new choice. JMHO
