Your entire post is nonsense.

I’m only 46, and I became a true Conservative in 2006. Since then I’ve been steadfastly American First, but recently realizing more and more that the left can wait us out. We allowed the marxist virus little by little, to the point that it is infiltrating everywhere. It has gone on for to long, there must be a reckoning against it.

“I see, the GOP was just an innocent bystander while the country burned and declined, going back decades. Nothing to see here, right Danie?”

Lol...you’re switching topics. I thought you wanted to talk about and bash Conservatives. But no, the GOP has been the Uniparty Assistant Democrats for decades.

I’m starting to think that you have no point, though. You’re just making it up as you go along. Knock yourself out.

Who better to pay taxes than the buyers of imported goods made by foreign workers. That is the most fair tax of all.

Yep, agreed. I mentioned who pays the tariffs/duties because there are a lot of people saying "make China pay/China pays the tariffs"...the only way that China would "pay" is by reduced exports/sales due to tariffs. (not happening BTW current trade deficit $861 Billion). ($346 Billion with China the rest w/Mexico and other countries).

I forgot another possible effect of tariffs is bringing manufacturing back to the USA, but the issue is that the gap in labor rates/expenses is too great for normal tariffs to be effective in that endeavor...(Slave labor rates vs. $15+ min. and much more for union manufacturing jobs).

And my secondary point is, all this going on with Trump for years now, endless attacks, attempts to overthrow Trump, armed raid on his private residence, and now these criminals are attempting to imprison him because they're scared to death Trump is going to win in the coming election even with all the election fraud. This out of control and tumbling down range.

Both sides have been in on this. Long ago, the way this country has been heading, those in D.C. should be kicking over their podiums 24/7 in outrage over the tyranny and these weaponized government agencies that have become nothing but political hired guns, not to mention Biden clan taking millions in bribes...and now them trying to jail his opponent.

Where is the mass raw outrage on the Republican side in D.C.? Where is it Danie? I'm not seeing it.

Liberals are either too naive or soft on Communism. I grew up under this: McCarthy was pure evil, the Cops in Chicago were wrong,Marxism isn't a big deal.
Then I rebelled to become Neo- Cornish, while still liking FDR and Truman Then I got saved. But besides the Bible, the book that changed my worldview was Ann Coulter's Treason. Finally, the scales fell from my eyes, EVERYTHING I had been fed was a wicked lie. So, I guess I have a converts hatred of marxism and the lies that have allowed it to spread for so long. It's why I joined FR.

“Where is the mass raw outrage on the Republican side in D.C.? Where is it Danie? I’m not seeing it.”

I can’t disagree with what you’ve said here. As for your question, I’ve stated before what I think about the GOP. Half of them are gutless wonders with a scant few that actually have the ballz to speak the truth and stand up against the left...and the other half are complicit.

But...I thought you wanted to blame/bash Conservatives. What happened to that?

Well at least you figured out the truth. Many never have and never will. Good for you.

As for McCarthy, he was spot-on. But his methods may have been misguided. He underestimated what he was up against re: the evil left (sound familiar?). The left marginalized him, their opponent, rather easily and they’ve been succeeding at same ever since.

You keep asking me that...and I’ve already answered you. When have Conservatives ever actually had power in the US government? The closest we came was when Newt put forth the Contract With America. Remember that? Remember how long ago that was? And of course Bubba Clinton and the Dimocrats took full credit for all the good that was done back then under a Conservative leaning congress. As for Conservatism today....what’s that saying and meme you guys always post? It’s dead, Jim. It was killed by RINOs and Leftists.

MccCarthy set them back a good while, and he was incredibly popular at the time.

I’ll tell ya where they been, before Trump the last, “Conservative” they supported and elected for 8 years was an open border globalist who gave us a 10 year long compassionate war where we won nothing but death and debt. All while our own borders spiraled completely out of control during this reign.

And what will lame-duck Trump be able to do on a next term?

If the swamp was able to resist him so effectively last time, what is he going to do different this time?

He could not beat a brain dead candidate that never left his basement. One of his hand-picked Senate candidates could not beat a brain dead candidate who could not string together a coherent sentence, and another hand-picked candidate could not even win a red state where the GOP governor won reelection in a landslide.

Trump no longer has any coattails. He is no longer a threat to the swamp.

We need a few hundred McCarthy’s today, desperately. Instead, all we’ve got is wussies and commie wannabes. At this point in our nation’s demise... I’ll back and support anyone, including Trump, that will set them back (at least) and delay their agenda.

It’s because Satan knows that this is the ONLY Country founded on Biblical Princables, and he wants to destroy that.

What a naive question. Who would know better than Trump the treachery that he's very publicly exposed to the world?

Name them beancounter..
