The Tea Party was the first to really see the danger of government in the financial sense. They wanted a balanced budget and control of the Fed Govt.

The federal government lashed out using every public funded agency to destroy these individuals. The used the FBI to harass, the CIA to spy, they used the IRS to block and audit.

The Democrats and the Marxists are a problem, but the real muscle behind the problems is FedGov.

That’s the way things should be...

But it’s going to take more than talking to get things back to that....A LOT more...

His reasoning is difficult to follow The premise is that the republicans have been working. They haven’t been doing anything but the democrats bidding going back to at least as far as Reagan, whom they hated, forcing him to put the Reagan hating Bushes into the White House.

In congress McConnell has made sure the senate has been in democrat control every two yesrs with the one exception when that pesky Trump got the senate to change hands. McConnell worked hard the fix that in 2020, working Alaska to keep that RINO Murkowski family though their 4 way shell game voting system similar to how Lindsey Graham hangs on to his seat every six in SC.

I mean the term RINO itself should give this author something to consider

The House does nothing but democrats’ bidding. It’s taken a year since the wrestling match McCarthy put up for him to prove to a now single digit number of republicans willing to resist whatever temptations and threats hit them in DC after getting elected to get rid of the usual RINO who does nothing but the democrats bidding with the majority he was handed having fought his way to the gavel

It took Trump 3 short years to get rid of that unconstitutional-as Mark Levin eloquently details- Roe v Wade, while Republicans had been sitting on it for fifty years promising only as an election winning campaign promise. Trump got rid of it as a marker. They hate him for that. Now what have they got?

So, no. I don’t follow this.

If all we have to vote for in the primaries are more GOPe of the same ilk we will gain nothing.

T believe it is most likely too late to vote our way out. We have been doing that and the bad guys have made that option no longer a way out.

Throwing McCarthy out is a shot across the GOP bow, will Jordan listen of simply continue the do nothing strategy the GOP is famous for??? Doe the realize that the GOP rank and file has had enough of their non action? REAL action needs to begin NOW.

If you think that McCarthy was the problem, you failed to notice the 200 republicans who voted to keep him as speaker.

We are done.

There are still those who are continuing to condemn Gaetz. I’m simply encouraging hope. There are still road blocks, and Jordan still needs the votes.

America doesn’t have much time left to reverse course. That window of opportunity is closing. Not only are the democrats standing in the way, but the establishment as well. Time to clean house in the House as well as fight efforts of election interference.

Many here, it seems we’re content with McCarthy. And continue to vilify Gaetz.

“Given Republicans’ inability to save our country through legitimate means, i.e., working through the system”

That is a losers statement, like someone willing to give up. That attitude is a part of what the author says is wrong. The author needs to look in the mirror and they’d see they, and those like them are the problem in the GOP.

“Why we have allowed this to happen despite how much we have lost and will continue to lose if we play the same zero-sum game?”

Another nonsense statement - use of the royal “We”, as if “we” “allowed” anything.

There is no “we”. There is us, and there is them, and with a growing gap between us and them, making any “we” less and less possible lately. THAT is the condition, not some nebulous “we” that “allowed” something.

"Freedom is inexorably tied to our personal and property rights."

Well, there it is right there, in a nutshell. Without the right to keep AND protect what is yours, it becomes just another lie told by lawyers, thieves and politicians... :(

We need to make sure, those who think they're at the top of the food chain, know the new rules will apply to them as well.. Their poverty will not be less then ours..

If they destroy our wonderful land, our wealth, and our freedom, we'll damned well destroy theirs.. They have to KNOW that.!

Tipping point?

Probably not. But, the opportunity for some real change is in play.

A weak point was discovered and exploited by House conservatives.

They knew that at this point in the period between elections a few days of introspection and realization of a conservative agenda could be magnified to the point of obtaining some concessions. A few days off from the normal congressional grind will be used to present needed change and to obtain as much of that change as can be accomplished.

“An interesting perspective.”

Could you summarize the perspective? I read the posted part of the article.

The real problem with the GOP is simple. They keep nominating Pieces of Dog Sh!t for leadership positions. Therefore, the rank and file have no choice but to pick the piece of dog sh!t that doesn’t smell the worst, hence Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan John Bohner, etc..

Message to the GOP, STOP playing with Dog Sh!t!! No wonder you re known as the STUPID PARTY. Maybe this shakeup will work and maybe not.

I have LITTLE to NO FAITH in the GOP doing the right thing. Far too many SQUISH GOP, aka Democrat Lite, members. RINO SEASON, primary them out. However, we all know where the BIG MONEY goes.

How can we expect the GOP to clean up the country when they can’t clean up their own house??????

“Inflation has ripped the bandage off for most of us,”

Another hyperbolic stupid statement by the author.

Some inflation history

1981 10.33%
1980 13.55%
1979 11.25%
1974 11.05%

And 2022 8%

OMG!!!! How will we survive it - as if we never survived it when inflation was much worse.

Whoever gets the speaker job had better understand that when you get your opponent down, you don’t let them up. Playing nice with an opponent that wants to kill you figuratively (democRats) or even literally (muslims) will only get you defeated or dead.

In sum, as opposed to the author, and from what Ronald Maximus Reagan taught us, malaise is just as sign of giving up, and he did not give up.

Sorry, I wasn’t criticizing your overall comments. Just agreeing with your comments about it possibly being planned with Gaetz, Jordan, maybe Trump. I had thought that since January—that it was the backdoor plan. We may never know for sure : )
