The GOP Now Has Its Very Own 'Conservative Squad'
The National Interest ^ | 12/4/2020 | Rachel Bucchino

Posted on 12/04/2020 6:56:26 AM PST by Onthebrink

Anew “Squad” will charge into Capitol Hill next year with a laser-focused agenda—to rebrand the Republican party and take down its rival’s “socialist squad” leader, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

Republican Rep-elects Maria Elvira Salazar (Fla.) and Nicole Malliotakis (N.Y.) sprouted the idea last month of a new crew to counter Ocasio-Cortez’s progressive “Squad,” labeled as “the Force” or the “freedom squad.”

“I want to create a force within my freshman class that will have to be reckoned with. A force of reason, a force for freedom, a force for democracy,” Salazar, a Cuban-American and former journalist, told NBC News. It’s a clever riposte that is starting to garner attention.

Salazar and Malliotakis, the only Republican to represent New York City in Congress, are members of the most diverse freshman Republican class ever, with at least eight members who are a person of color or a minority. Members of the GOP also more than doubled the amount of women serving in the House of Representatives in the 2020 election, bringing the total to at least 28.

The squad are wannabe fashion models. I hope we can counter-those things count.

Won’t matter. The Snowflake wing of the GOP is having a hissy fit, staying home in GA and handing the Senate to the Democrats, meaning that both the legislative and executive branches will be governed by the socialists for at least the next two years. Probably the judicial as well once they’re done eliminating the filibuster and packing the courts.

Anyone doubt this isn’t The President’s influence on the Republican Party taking root?

Oh give me a break.

What are these folks doing RIGHT NOW to ensure President Trump is re-elected? And, how long before this group is renamed the RINO Squad...and devolves into a series of squabbles and backstabbing?

It’s sad we need women to stand up for us. Embarrassing too.

So the GOP has a squad to root out conservatives now? Doesn’t seem new.

We once thought that Regan would leave an indelible imprint on the GOP but the party is remarkably resistant to change. Trump won’t be able to change it either.

Consider the Tea Party. It had a big effect on the Hill for awhile before it faded away.

Trust me, the party machinery will wear down the good intentions of the freedom squad in short order. They will quickly learn what it means to “get along go along”. DC is a VERY corrosive and corrupting environment that turns and controls newly elected people with ease.

I’ve been pointing that out to my wife for a long time. Most of the male politicians in the GOP are embarrassingly and pathetically weak. We have a better chance with the women running things IMO.

Only in “Amurca” can the descendants of European Spaniards (Nicole and Maria Elvira) be considered “people of color.” In defense of AOC (and this is the only time you will here me say that phrase) she does appear to have some African/Taino in her genetic woodpile.

I think the correct spelling is “Squawd” — eh?

I see her as an Aztec priestess at the top of a pyramid temple
holding a knife in one hand and the still-beating heart of her victim in the other.

What created the original “Squad” was the MSM cheer leading them on, giving them attention and fame. With that said special attention was given to commie AOC.

My point is this so called GOP squad will not be anywhere nearly as effective as the commie’s squad because they will never get any positive press attention, if any at all. The exception would be if they are Mitt Romney grade RINO’s, in which case every time they go against patriotic America they will be heralded as American heroes.

It is time to stop using the term conservative, there is nothing left to conserve.

Zechariah 5.....there’s a kind of evil at large that may take specially called women Christians to help us deal with.

“Angels with women’s faces” with “wings like storks> who carried a lady quarantined in a basket with lead weight on top to a place in Babylon(SINAR) for the times of the end. The being that that pushed the weight back down upon the woman said to Zechariah “This is wickedness”. The image speaks of a corruption in Israel that particularly affected it’s domestic and home affairs that diluted it’s moral purity, weakening male authority and leadership, while encouraging the growth of idol worship, Asherah, Baal and Molech. With these, ritual fornication and prostitution were rampant as was the offering of children for ritual sacrifice. A familiar modern pattern don’t you think...factoring in abortion? Jezebel pushed Baal and Asherah worship actually having taxed Israel to pay for 400 priests of Asherah alone....not to mention many priests for Baal. The DemProgs today constantly push to tax Americans to fund their wicked schemes.

You see it in the take down attempts that liberal women have attempted against decent conservative minded men.

The black population suffers from a huge imbalance of women who’ve had no moral or ethical upbringing ustaging what few good black men there are who can offer and urge for any moral restraints. Many of the the young vital young black men are caught up in crime and vice and are in prison. So who’s left...just many outspoken angry nearly psychotic black women(ready to throw a punch at the merest suggestion of a snarky look or a denied chicken nugget). THE BLM spokesleaders are mostly black women.

The DemProgs have played to the base instincts of their supporters and have played particularly to the “EVE” instincts of their women, their lusts for power and Godlike control. You think that is a crazy notion?...look at all the “witch” groups reportedly attempting to cast binding spells upon Trump. The Jezebel spirit is a real thing!

The Dem Prog women hope to slip Harris in on the sly when Biden gets the 25th Amendment boot out.. When I’ve lobbed that charge on various forums, women have raged at me but have tacitly admitted that was why they went with Biden. They know that Biden is a goner, so the prospect of getting a Lady of Color(or pretended color) is so delicious to the lady Progs, they would lie and cheat the elections or countenance election fraud to get Harris into power.

Men can be a blunt instrument for change but only wise women can counter sleazy evil women in terms of subtle communications and passive aggressive infighting. Men are still seen a the “big bullies” when they raise their voices in righteous indignation against an evil scheming woman. Yet, a wise woman, wise to the feelings of inferiority that women are most prone to, can cut her lady foes to the quick with a smile and a deft turn of phrase.

Conservative men and women need to stand together; the men can’t do it alone.
