nothing you say I disagree with except what you say about Gohmert. It is incorrect, as you are describing most of congress and their actions which are despicable.
I really do not care who is President as long as Congress does its job. Congress can control the president. right now, the choose not too.
and we need to elect people in congress like Gohmert to change that.
That’s where we get to the “body parts in the freezer” problem.
Gohmert wants us to keep troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and empower Obama to wreak mischief all over the globe.
This is wholly inconsistent with any valid tradition of conservatism.
And the reason why it is a problem is that imperial domination of the globe isn’t free. If you want a war state, the choices for funding it are taxes and debt. Which one is the conservative choice?
Being right on many issues doesn’t balance out being catastrophically wrong on big ones. Better to have someone who gets the big ones right.
The big issues we need to face are foreign policies, trade policies, and budget issues. Everything else, Constitutionally, should be decided by the states. Gohmert has staked out strong positions in the wrong direction on all three of the biggest issues at the federal level.
And that’s what the cream of the crop looks like. The average is far, far worse.
Sorry didn’t mean to come across like I’m berating you... if you have any pull with your rep, set him straight that being a conservative is a complete package and he’s undermining it in a big way on those issues.
