"...in 2012, things went back to normal for the Republicans. The party's Conservative grassroots activists were treated like Orwellian unpersons again. Mitt Trotsky and his putrid record as the governor of Taxachussetts were trotted out like a prized dancing horse by the RINO Herd as the only human being able to defeat a failing and flailing Barack Hussein Obama. Tea Party and Conservative candidates were treated like pariahs with leprosy and were openly opposed by the usual suspects (Rove, Kristol, Sheikh Ali Paul and the Paulestinians) and were defeated as the base blew off the 2012 Popularity Contest and stayed home."
Thanks for the shout out!
Posted this earlier today on the big thread...
I have renewed hope with this and a couple other threads in the last couple days. I see many of the names I have argued with since the primaries coming around to our way of thinking and realizing that the lesser evil/win at any price crap is just that.
To be sure, there are some hardcore statist types determined to mock us, but, and I address this to anyone still reading this thread, they have nothing ‘but’ mockery.
The facts of history are what they are. One does not go right by moving left. Someone DID vote for unprincipled GOP politicians and got them elected. Those unprincipled GOP politicians DID stand idly by while DOMA was tanked. They DID vote with the dems on amnesty. They DID NOTHING to stop a gay takeover in the military.
And they HAVE DONE NOTHING to defund Obama’s destruction of America. Not one damn thing. If they did, then show it.
Now on a near 500 post thread with a wide cross section of the Freeper body politic participating, I want the lesser evil defenders to show us all exactly WHY we should go with that broken philosophy when the past month has CLEARLY and UNAMBIGUOUSLY shown the very real results of what comes from it.
We have here the seed of the actual ‘Rebellion” that Jim talks about actually sprouting. —For real.— We have people waking up to their past mistakes and saying “No More!”
And yet, and like clockwork, we have people demanding we get our collective tails back in the closet and back to the GOP plantation.
If all the new converts really and genuinely have had a come to Jesus moment over this, and I pray to God they have, I want people to stand up for what they believe in. I want them to stand up and reject our past mistakes and tell these GOP suckups to go straight to hell. If we collectively can’t do that, something that basic and simple to the issue, then I really do not see the point in even discussing the matter at all. We should all just drop politics entirely and do what we are told.
