The fight has to start in the trenches people!

One of AZ’s state legislative senators (BOYER) (20th Legislative district) backstabbed EVERYONE yesterday, in the GOP and the entire state... when you consider the election fraud that took place, and the scumbag has to pay a price.

So does Sasse, Cheney, and the other traitor scum in the GOP.

Sitting behind your keyboards and pontificating isn’t going to get it done.

Besides being a fellow keyboard commando, FWIW, I put in some skin recently by going to DC on my own dime, and I am going to go to the scumbag backstabbing AZ GOP legislative senators office first thing tomorrow to give him and or his staff an ear full.

Thank you bagster for throwing a heater high and inside on the plate!

WAKE UP freepers! You don’t want war but war wants you!

Follow-up on the February 6th meeting in Culbertson, regarding Censure Resolution against Senator Ben Sasse ...

We had a packed house - “standing room only” crowd in the ambulance barn’s community room. 70 people showed up, including myself.

They came from Arapahoe, Cambridge, Champion, Culbertson, Grant, Hendly, Hayes Center, Imperial, Indianola, Trenton, Wauneta, and from various non-town county road addresses.

All 70 were angry with the actions and comments of Senator Sasse.

All 70 signed the petition to approve the Resolution of Censure - and we are still getting signatures from many others (94 signers, so far).

Many asked how to force Sasse to resign, or whether it is possible to recall him - and there were some who wanted Sasse expelled from the Republican Party!

Meeting began promptly at 2 PM, CT, with a call to order, and the Pledge of Allegiance. Meeting ended at approximately 3:30 PM CT.

Topics covered in presentation, 6 sections:

PART I.

5.) Legal standard for judging whether speech is criminal incitement: Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969).
6.) The unconstitutionality of “sedition” statutes.

Keep up the good work and the rest of us need to get busy.

The response of Senator Ben Sasse - to the impending vote on a resolution of censor - only underscores the point that, above all else, he is an arrogant, patronizing political opportunist, who possesses an conceited penchant for disingenuous rhetoric. Moreover, he cares not a wit of the opinions and concerns of his constituents. I could have addressed several of the remarks made by Senator Sasse in his response; but, for now, I will reply to what I consider his most egregiously insulting:

“Politics isn’t about the weird worship of one dude” – Senator Ben Sasse

Senator, this is not about the “worship of one dude.” This is about the American People – that we had a president who fought for our needs and concerns, and delivered on what he promised.

Again, Senator Sasse insults the intelligence of his constituents, attempting by subterfuge to reframe the issue as being a cult of personality, when the principle at issue, and reason for this resolution of censure, is his support of and participation in an unconstitutional impeachment trial.

This is about the U.S. Constitution – and Senator Sasse ignoring the plain meaning of its language. This is about treating matters of consequence contemptuously. And, in my opinion, this is about the envy Ben Sasse harbors against the popularity of Donald Trump. It is Senator Sasse who chooses to make this a contest of personality. If Senator Ben Sasse were the “real conservative” he claims, then the Republican senator would not throw his hat in the ring with the spiteful Democrats, who are hell-bent on revenge against Donald Trump. A “real conservative” would not contradict the plain meaning of the Constitution, as to the penalty incurred by impeachment and conviction – removal from office (Article 2, Sec. 4, and Article 1, Sec. 3, Clause 7); and nor would the senator ignore the First Amendment rights of the former president, in claiming that the Trump’s speech incited “insurrection.” By the legal standard established in the U.S. Supreme Court decision, Brandenburg v. Ohio, President Trump did not incite nor intend to incite violence.

Senator Ben Sasse apparently thinks himself the reincarnation of the “Boy Orator of the Platte” -William Jennings Bryan. His aspirations for obtaining the presidency will end the same way.

I used your “Bryan” line in my reply to Senator sASSe’s response to our censure resolution. Could not pass that one up.

Thank you citizen patriot! THIS is the kind of stuff that has to happen organically and repeatedly across America.

Amen! Thank YOU PeterPrinciple for the encouraging words.

Let’s get to work and have every freeper pick out one thing that each person can do in their own circle of influence.

You can’t leave the house because of physical infirmities? Call someone that you know to act as your proxy and have them go rattle some cages.

Pick up the phone and let someone from our side have it and but good.

Write a letter to the editor. Not a run of the mill letter but a letter of call to action for our side.

How about all of the Christian men that are silent in your community? Get their goat and get their butts off the couch or pew, and into battle. Start putting pressure on everyone around you that is asleep at the wheel. The LEFT fights for what THEY want... where in the hell is the RIGHT? EXCUSES don’t cut it any more.

Reload ammo, or walk the picket lines.

Sitting on the sidelines is OVER!

You can bet that Ben Sasse is compromised. Someone has a picture of him with a man’s private part in his mouth!

Same goes for Barr and Roberts, to name a few!

PS...Those mentioned in the previous are not alone.
The camera holds the cards and just a phone call is required to get the desired vote.

COMPROMISED!

Good work. Get rid of him if you can.

However, I still hear a third party calling me...

Election of 1912.

I’d rather we do whatever it takes to take back our party. And I do mean “whatever it takes.”

Well, as many have stated here at FR, if our votes are stolen, voting is now worthless. Two parties or three, doesn’t matter.

That’s the gist of it all.

But your local efforts are commendable and may have a great outcome at least at the state level. So I applaud what you are doing.

I just asked a pastor what he would do with a church full of warriors. There was no hesitation in his response.

Ask your pastor the same and observe the response.

“Politics isn’t about the weird worship of one dude” – Senator Ben Sasse


It is most interesting how they see it. I wonder why?

But it works to our advantage if they see it that way.

Another warrior and I are making contact with the local Collegiate Republicans. They need some encouragement. We will buy the pizzas for the next year if that is what it takes to keep them meeting and talking.

Folks, the battle is fought on many fronts. Find some little thing to do to help............................

Most of all I am learning that people want to talk if given the opportunity. They may control the internet but we still have mouths and ears and legs.

Different eyes see different things. We look at Trump and see something else.

Maybe the following sheds some light on the situation. Read it slowly and let your lips move.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Niem%C3%B6ller

Is it possible they look at Trump and see nationalism which in their mind is a bad thing and in truth, some of it is a bad thing. Any ISM is not good. Hitler and nationalism are one and the same for them? Frankly, I am against nationalism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalism

They are managing for what the DON’T WANT. They don’t want nationalism so socialism and many other things work just so long as it is NOT nationalism. Managing for what you don’t want doesn’t take you to a destination, it leaves you wandering in the desert.

So folks, what do we want? There is great detail here on FR as to what we don’t want.

Question of the day for thinkers. What is an “ism”?

So, the real evidence of apathy. No County party, organization or any evidence of what it takes to kill candidates before they run for office. That said, there are three States right in a row with the very same East West issues not to mention County Republican organizations. NE, ND, and SD
