You would think that we have enough work to do as conservatives at this moment in time. We have a radical president who is hell-bent on shredding the Constitution and transforming America into a government-dependent nation. We have a willing mainstream media who agree with him and are working overtime to help him achieve his goals whilst also running interference for him so as scandals are quickly hushed up and brushed aside. Then there's the Democratic Party that has sold its soul to the progressive cause of the overwhelming power of a massive government that dictates how we live in our lives. To most people working hard to keep America that shining city on the hill, that's a full plate to content with. Sadly though, that's not all that we conservatives have to deal with. The establishment GOP is also working to stab us all in the back despite their election-year promises of their supposed conservatism. Make no mistake, the establishment GOP is purging conservatives.
Let us begin with the current budget deal. Boehner and other establishment Republicans tout that the proposed budget will reduce spending. The problem is that when you actually see what's in the budget, you find out that such claims are a lie. In fact, spending actually goes up in comparison with the current budget that we already have. Once again, conservative principles are sacrificed for virtually nothing. I understand that the establishment GOP wants to keep the focus on ObamaCare and don't want to have another government slimdown, but the proposed budget shows a total lack of spine as Obama and his progressive liberal allies get practically everything they want.
Next, we have the firing of Paul Teller from the Republican Study Committer. Teller was the executive director of the RSC, and the chairman of the group, Rep. Steve Scalise, essentially fired him. What was Teller's crime? He was canned for working with grassroots conservatives, which undermined establishment Republicans. Conservative members of the RSC were shocked, but it is known that Scalise is an ally of John Boehner, so this is a definite sign that the conservative purge from the GOP is underway. Paul Teller worked behind the scenes and was considered an effective staffer. On his radio show, Mark Levin discussed this situation, telling his listeners to "just know they went after someone who was a patriot who worked very, very hard on behalf of conservatives."
Last, but not least, on our listing of the ongoing conservative purge by the establishment GOP is their super PAC, Defending Main Street. This organization, created by the establishment GOP, is designed solely to wage war against the Tea Party and conservative nominees. They've already raised over $4 million to work against conservatives running for office in order to push through RINOs that will toe the big government party line. The head of the PAC is Steve LaTourette, a former congressman from Ohio, and he has stated that, "we'll go into eight to ten races and beat the snot out of them [Tea Party candidates] . . . We're going to be very aggressive and we're going to get in their faces." Now we know the true color of the establishment Republicans. The National Journal is reporting that the PAC is taking money from progressive liberal unions. The International Union of Operating Engineers and the Laborers' International Union of North America have given a combined $400,000 to the Defending Main Street super PAC. This shows how willing the establishment GOP is working with those they claim to oppose.
All of these situations just highlights the fact that the Republican Party itself has become an enemy to the conservative cause. It's bad enough to have to fight the Democrats and the media, but to have the party that supposedly espouses conservative values to sink a knife into the collective backs of conservatives is beyond the pale. These RINOs beg money and votes from conservatives every election cycle, but once they get to Washington, they throw us to the curb and go back to their inside the beltway practices. They spend more time destroying the conservatives within their own ranks, such as Ted Cruz, than they do against progressive liberals. The left and the media keep telling us to support "moderates" such as John McCain. The same McCain who took to the Senate floor and called tea party supporters "hobbits." The long knives of the GOP have come out, but they're aimed squarely at conservatives.
Pelosi, Reid and even Chris Matthews were praising Boehner today. That’s all you need to know.
GOP Psychos
Mr Cruz, Gov Palin,
Say the word and a new party will be started.
They’re back to attacking the only known tea partier on the RNC now as well. (Dave Agema)
So the PAC name “Defending Main Street” is a lie? I did not know that. I will have to watch out for that, to be more careful in the future. Thanks for the warning.
Disagree, this is a message the media would want us to believe. Come Primary Season there will be more GOP members of our choosing.
Uniparty Ping!
There are eight republican senators with primary challengers. I’d love to see at least four taken out!
The fleas are casting off the big dog. Yeah, right. LOL.
Totally. It is a front group to push RINOs into office.
Same as it was when it was the Soros backed republican main street coalition.
I’m not seeing a good reason to vote for these guys

Crybaby article
Dear Ted Cruz, Gov Sarah Palin, Mike Lee, Rand Paul,Rick Perry,Scott Walker,Jim DeMint, Newt Gingrich and all who love liberty and the Constitution.
We are ready..... Let's Roll
Romney rewrote the GOP rules in favor of the GOP-E at the last convention over the objections of conservatives, but WE had voted him the delegate strength to do so.
It will take at least 2 victorious GOP presidential conservative campaigns to undo that damage.
So, the hope for a party takeover seems to greatly diminish for me. I’m left looking at an alternative: (1) The libertarians are the most active, but with a few platform items I just can’t compromise. (2) The Constitution Party has a better platform but they are not serious at all...a gather and potluck kind of social group. (3) A new party should be started at dogcatcher level and grown to state legislatures, then to national, then to presidential. It will NOT work the other way around due to the nature of our Constitution.
Those aren’t great choices.
There are no political solutions to this nation’s problems. Politicians of every stripe refuse to fix anything.
I believe a total collapse is coming. It may not be for a few more decades, it might be in a few years, but this nonsense will have serious and disastrous consequences. Conservatives need to prepare for surviving it in the hopes that our domestic enemies mostly don’t.
I pretty much agree. My own projections on when the interest on the debt MUST overtake the entire budget was somewhere around 20 years, assuming they continue to pay only interest on the debt and continue borrowing 40 cents for every dollar raised.
Obviously, the crisis will hit before that happens. I give it a decade.
The only politician’s way out that they’ll consider is what every crook politician ever caught in that trap tries: hyper-inflation. The way I see it, they have to make it hit so fast and so unexpectedly that foreign lenders don’t have a chance to protect themselves.
That will generate a war or a century of poverty and ill will.
And they SHALL pay the price!
Schadenfreude, baby...
