“DeMint will be free to say what he wants in his Heritage position; no longer beholden to the Party and to RINOs therein. As president he will verbally eviscerate the modern Republican party, likely becoming a major factor in the movement to pry the conservative guts and brains from the Republican carcus. A disembodied conservative movement, combined with the imminent creation of many more conservatives thanks to modern times, bodes well for a competitive third party effort in the near future.”

“As much as I like DeMint, he has maintained the (false, fake) face “collegiality” of the Senate all these years, which I have always despised. Unless he is willing to get in the trenches from his position at Heritage and unequivocally call out all the bull****, he is voluntarily giving up the little power he has to get noticed that his Senate seat gives him. Let’s face it, there will be no effective conservatives in DC, as Boehner’s actions foretell, emphasis on the word “effective”. Conservatives are being relegated to the Ron Paul/Kucinich minority level, and will simply be used as window dressing by the Rethugs. Demint is right to get away from that, but he can’t distance himself from RINOs if he continues nicey-nice footsie.

As prepared as I am to weather a storm for a while, I don’t see that early January the SHTF. Unless there is a credit event such that, like 2008, the banking system goes into terminal seizures, we will be QEing ourselves into more deficit spending, supporting the FSA and more “stimulating” of cronies until sometime after Europe or Japan can no longer kick the can.”

“When the people in Washington are more afraid of their constituents and voters than they are of the interest groups that control Washington then this country is going to start moving in the right direction.
