He’s not clueless!

He knows what we all know, that there is nothing we can do. At this point in time all we can do is keep before the people the idea that something must be done, until a critical mass of conservatives is ready to do something.

BobL is is here on FR continually telling us that we must continue to vote for Rinos because Democrats are far worse. Ok then! That is one thing we can do. We can continue to vote in elections we know are rigged, for candidates whom we know will do exactly what the Dimms want to do but at a slower rate perhaps.

But don’t worry. Of course we all know that a couple of “forensic audits”, and an election reform law or two will turn it all around, so don’t worry. I am sure that in the spring, a bunch of true conservatives will sweep into all the Republican primaries, and the GOP will retake the House in the Fall.

BobL and others of his ilk will ever and always be able to point at something “worse” which must be, and has been avoided, no matter what we actually get. The louder and more extreme the revolutionary voices of the left may be, the less chance that the People will ever see a way to real reform, a real return to the real Constitution. Conservatives unite! BobL is our leader! BobL has the way to our future! His motto? “It might have been worse!”

It is no longer the Capitol Building.

It is Queen Pelosi’s Pleasure Palace and she is pulling it off with only a Five Seat Majority while her Prince Chuck the Schmuck is is doing the same with a 50/50 Senate.

Imagine where we would be if the DEMONCRATS had unsurmountable Majorities. Oh wait, they do. Both Chambers are filled with Assistant DEMONCRATS.

There are some real tightrope walkers in the Democrat Party.

They think they can get real rich while pretending to endorse socialism.

They feel protected by oceans and nuclear weapons and their bodyguards.

Meanwhile, groups of angry, poorly educated people sit at tables drinking espresso and mumbling about a revolution while wondering if they have any weed left at home.

Government employees count down the number of days until they can retire.

The professors wonder if they can get another sabbatical and whether they can find another co-Ed to sleep with.

Yep, eye-opening one too, because it is playing out here in our nation

Don’t blame me if you guys have NO CLUE as to what the Democrats intend to do once they have the power they need.

Enjoy the cattle cars, but be happy, the RINOs will be right there with you.

You know it’s bad when even VDH hasn’t yet recognized the bottom line.

When gasoline hit six dollars a gallon you shall see concrete evidence of a revolution in the US.
