Our Real Problem
February 23, 2021 | Slyfox

Posted on 02/23/2021 12:39:12 PM PST by Slyfox

Our problem is not people who vote Republican, our problem is the last holdout of Establishment-Country-Club-Deep-State types who have absolutely no regards for the grassroots, for us the real people.

They hated the Christian Coalition.

The hated TEA Party.

The hate Trump voters.

They hated and merely tolerated Phyllis Schlafly and Rush Limbaugh - two of our top conservative leaders.

They hate people who are pro-life and truly religious on the inside.

They hate us so much they did EVERYTHING they could to boot Trump when he had won in a MAJOR LANDSLIDE.

They are holding on tight hoping that if they hold out long enough we will just get tired and go away so they can continue doing what they always have done.

But, we know who they are and they know we know who they are.

We are awake.

Support and vote for ONLY America First candidates in the primaries, no more voting for the RINO if he/she wins the primary - all they do is stab us in the back and ruin the movement

We still have our leader. The question is, what is his plan?

“no more voting for the RINO if he/she wins the primary”

At that point aren’t we just better off starting a 3rd party? You’re going to get RINOs winning a lot of primaries and losing the general election anyway if voters followed this advice. So the downside of a third party (that we’d lose a lot of elections for a while) would be irrelevant.

They hate people who can make cogent arguments against them.

Unfortunately they don’t understand that outside the US leftists normally rule the roosts.

They find out when instead of backing up to golf courses, their mansions back up to low-rent housing projects.

If we were awake, DC would not be surrounded by barbed wire today.
The ones who have done this would be dead.

Those that believe this can be fixed with elections are sleeping fools.

They hated Reagan, too.

That was the beginning of the GOPestablishment.

Anything that upset Bob Michaels’ well ordered, peaceful life was antithetic to them. They were content to be the minority party. Leadership was too difficult. It made them unpopular with the Washington press. They got invited to fewer and fewer cocktail parties.

And now that they’re back out of the saddle again, they’re content.

They wish that noisy bunch of right-wingers would just shut up and go away.

Conservatives are upset with the establishment GOP. We now know that the progressives are unhappy with the DEM establishment.

If a conservative populist third party is started, then I think that would embolden the progressives to start their own party or beef of the Green Party as an alternative to the DEM establishment.

I think it is worth a chance to start up a third party in hopes that it would soon be followed by a fourth and thus it would not necessarily lead to DEM victories across the board.

These people want easy money so their business debt vanishes.

They also like it when government set rules so their investments pay off big time.

Last I heard, the “problem” was that the left cheated and will cheat again, and there is NOTHING to stop them from doing so...

“progressives are unhappy with the DEM establishment”

Nancy and Chuck are working to give them 1.9 trillion reasons to smile.

Blatantly unfair payoffs in the bill are slowing its progress.

A BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide

“Trump when he had won in a MAJOR LANDSLIDE”

Trump probably was defrauded out of victory in several states, but Trump certainly did not win in a landslide.

My suspicion is that Biden won, but the amount of readily possible fraud makes that permanently uncertain.

We can still fight at the state level.

The key is to limit property taxation so we can wait them out.

The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”

Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …

The Conscience of a Conservative (1960), Chapter 2, page 15
The establishment GOP goes back much further than Reagan, just for the record.
