Time to purge (Throw out Conservatives who rejected Boehner!)

The Hill ^ | Tuesday January 15, 2013 | John Feehery

[Bigtigermike]

If the vote for Speaker on opening day confirmed anything, it confirmed that simple fact. By having a dozen of his Republican colleagues either vote against him or not vote at all, John Boehner just barely squeaked by in his bid for a second term for Speaker.

The vote against Boehner wasn’t a vote against the Speaker’s actual performance. By all accounts, Boehner has done yeoman’s work leading the House under what can only be called difficult circumstances.

The vote against Boehner was really a vote against the Republican Party. It was a protest against Republican policies and against the Republican establishment.

Boehner should invite the 12 who voted against him to leave the GOP. They aren’t Republicans. They shouldn’t be allowed to masquerade as Republicans.

[skeeter]

Feehery has no idea at all why the GOP is struggling.

He is a complete idiot.

Under this kind of thinking the GOP is utterly doomed.

[ALPAPilot]

What is a Republican?

Someone that will pledge their life, fortune and sacred honor to secure the unalienable rights of their fellow citizens.

At least that was what the first Republican President thought.

Apparently there are only 12 in the House of Representatives.

[muawiyah]

They aren’t even real republicans anyway. Best bet is a purge of the GOP-e as soon as possible.

[hondact200]

Boehner is likened to a rudderless sailboat - the wind blows the sailboat around and it flows with the winds the blow it around, Boehner needs a backbone. Yeoman’s work, yeah right. Come now how many years has Boehner been in DC? By now Boehner should be a Journeyman.

A yeoman is actually a lesser official in a royal or noble’s household. According to the American Heritage Dictionary. So we have a better understanding of what Yeoman means.

This punk isn't even dry behind the ears.

He bills himself a "Republican strategist". That takes nerve, boy! After November, a "Republican strategist" ought to be hiding under a highway overpass somewhere... not making an ass of himself on "The Hill"!

[Resettozero]

Oh yeah. This’ll fix things alright.

[Resettozero]

And strip them of their citizenship! Them dang 'servatives ain't even American!

[peyton randolph]

He bills himself a "Republican strategistliberal @sshat".

[Old Sarge]

Conservatives with their sanctimony and petty personal self righteous insistence are the problem. There can be no conservative party because there is no homogeneity among conservatives.

[WhiskeyX]

Feehery and his rant in effect proposes the majority of the Republican be expelledd from the Party for having opinions disseenting from the mostly self-appointed leadership. Feehery proposes to divide the Republican Party to accomplish censorship of most Republicans.

And what's milk processing got to do with it!

That’s right, throw the 12 out of the GOP while at the same time embrace Colin Powell. Brilliant!!

[MurrietaMadman]

He should instruct Republican allies on the outside — business groups, corporate PACS, trade associations, the Chamber of Commerce — to cease to give these members any campaign contributions.

Those are not Republican allies on the outside. They're inside and they're not allies they're owners.

We're outside and only count when they need somebody to vote for more moderates willing to follow another follower.

[Old Sarge]

Reagan was a RINO - he cut and ran from Lebanon, gave amnesty to illegals, and raised taxes (even though he CUT taxes). In the eyes of certain FReepers, HE’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Jesus Christ was a RINO - He befriended and forgave tax collectors, advised people to pay their taxes to the government, and consorted with known prostitutes. In the eyes of certain FReepers, HE’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

In the case of every conservative candidate in the last election cycle, the cry went out: YOUR GUY’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

The unchallenged FReeper Definition of "Conservative" is: “I don't know for sure, but whatever it is, it sure as hell ain’t YOU!!!”

[RatRipper]

sanctimony and petty personal self righteous insistence

People with those traits, in my mind, are not REAL conservatives. Do conservatives tend to be principled? Yes, but they act for the best interest of the nation. Liberals may claim they are acting in the best interest of the nation and hide behind it, but I have never seen one that had anything but self-interest at heart. Our problem is that we have way too many Republicans who are only masquerading as Conservatives. It is almost as if they exist as a double agent to do the bidding of the Democrats when the chips are down. Many Republicans do not really believe in conservatism, so they cannot articulate it in a way that allows them to emerge as a leader.

For several years, the Republican Party has intentionlly undercut conservatism. An articulate, attractive conservative candidate in the Republican Party will never emerge as a leader until the Party stops undermining them. Instead we get the likes of H.W. Bush, Dole, W. Bush, McCain and Romney. What a disgusting, uninspiring list!

[Gator113]

I quit waiting for Boehner’s testes to drop a long time ago. I am convinced that there is no there there.

[Yosemitest]

Selling LIBERAL wet dreams there, John Feehery?
If I were you, I'd be concerned about which side of the issues I stood for.
Have you read The Tea Partier versus The Republican ?

I read a great article by Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret. written February 4, 2011 from "NewsWithViews.com" and here's part of it.

COMPROMISE – A DIRTY WORD
Compromise – is defined as:
“A middle way between two extremes”

If this is a literally correct definition, and I believe that it is,
what then are we to do when the two extremes at the opposite ends of the plane are
that which is moral
and that which is immoral?
Is it possible that a righteous compromise can be accomplished
when such a compromise, by the very definition of the word, must contain the elements of an extreme that is in and of itself evil or wicked ?

Compromise is as old as humanity;
compromise began as a human endeavor to attempt to escape the penalty for the transgression of God’s laws
and to mitigate or contravene the absoluteness of God’s word.
Compromise is man’s way
to lessen the seriousness of disobedience to immutable laws and dictums,
or to excuse or condone such disobedience altogether.
No good thing comes from compromise.
Man’s accommodation of transgressions by compromise is not a defense for iniquitous acts in the eyes of God.
Compromise is the devil’s invention;
God who is perfect in every way will not be conciliated by the conditions of a compromise.

Compromise was introduced into the lives of men in the Garden of Eden by that serpent of old, Satan,
and will remain with men until the Lord Jesus Christ brings this world to an end - which He will inevitable do - and establishes His Kingdom.

THE FRUITS OF COMPROMISE
Most people have come to believe
that compromise is a useful tool
and that the negotiations thereof have brought about good things and useful policies.
If one examines that belief closely it soon becomes apparent that
there are no useful results that accrue to negotiated compromise on any level.
In fact most often
compromise actually breeds dissention and strife,
which in turn leads to more compromise.
In short compromise feeds upon itself and eats up that which is just and right in the process.

To live in a world of compromise is to live in a world without absolutes,
and yet we know that the entire universe as well as the lives of men are managed, controlled, and kept within irrevocable bounds by the absolutes established by Almighty God.
We violate those bounds, via compromise of any kind, at our peril.

Political negotiations (compromise) in regard
to the step down from the safeguarding of the sanctity of life
and from the immutable right granted by God to be defended against being murdered -
as set forth in the sixth commandment
- has enabled an American medical assassination machine
that has claimed nearly double the number of lives of the combined number of military and civilian deaths attributable to World War II.

The killing of innocent babies has reached record heights.
The lives of twenty-four percent of all unborn babies are delivered into the hands of the serial killers of the medical community.
A baby is murdered every twelve seconds,
and it is estimated that in this country alone there have been ninety-two million living beating hearts stilled by the bloody hands of the legal abortionists.
This conspiracy to commit murder,
this aiding and abetting of murder,
this disconnect between the forbidden pre-meditated murder of living adults and the sanctioned pre-meditated murder of living babies
has been wrought by a politically mediated compromise between
those who claim the right to murder babies
and those who know God’s absolute prohibition of murder.
And there is more.

Now continuing…compromise on morality resulted in the condoning of, and an exponential increase in, the filthy - God condemned - practice of sodomy and promiscuous sex.
For every compromise of God’s word a penalty is exacted.
Aids rapidly achieved endemic proportions, first in the United States and then in the rest world.
We were told that Aids was a disease of monkeys that had migrated to men.
The inventiveness of the scientific community and the political apologizers who defend such appalling and execrable behavior
often find fertile ground in the credulous minds of a spiritually deprived people.
I’m not done.

POLITICAL COMPROMISE CONTINUES TO DESTROY THE REPUBLIC
Today as never before in our history the dishonorable who control our social destiny via their political intrigues
subject the nation to a slow death by way of political compromise.

Compromise through ill-conceived trade agreements has destroyed domestic industry and extinguished millions of jobs.
Compromise on sound financial practices has destroyed the housing market, seriously damaged the economy and crippled small businesses.
Compromise on immigration has demolished the social structure, bankrupted state and local governments, critically imperiled national security and jeopardized the safety and well-being of the people.
And compromise on moral integrity has corrupted the youth, encouraged extreme vice and given license to social prurience.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END
In a recent article I wrote
that from this time forward
the people of this nation will not know a day of peace,
there will be no good news, each bad day will fade into another equally bad day,
and the black and ghostly apparitions of the former will blend with the grim and ghastly tidings of the new.
The Lord has departed from a people that have departed from Him and prostituted themselves before heathen gods,
a people who will in the coming days loathe themselves for the evils that they have committed in all of their abominations.
They will surely know that He is the Sovereign God who will carry out His word
to do evil unto them that defy His word and deny His Lordship over all of creation.

As I write this piece
the nation is seized by a 2,000 mile long arctic blast of an unprecedented magnitude;
each season delivers devastation of Biblical proportions.
Tornadoes ravage, floods inundate, conflagrations gobble up thousands of acres of trees and foliage and lumbering mudslides follow in the wake of these,
hurricanes terrify the coasts, and hail, ice, and snow bring cities and towns to a standstill.
Truly the day of the Lord is at hand.

One who reads these words and does NOT understand or relate to that which has been written
can be thought to possess one or more of the following character deficiencies:
deep perversion, callous indifference, abysmal illiteracy, or appalling ignorance.

Believers in God’s word know
that ignorance of a secular kind is directly attributable to a lack of spiritual discernment.

Solomon gives a litany of dangers that await the man who lacks Spiritual discernment:

“To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
Who leave the paths of uprightness,
to walk in the ways of darkness;
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
None that go unto her return again,
neither take they hold of the paths of life.
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.”
[Proverbs 2:12-22]

A modern translation:

"Wicked and perverse men are scattered like land mines across the paths of our lives.
Without discernment we will soon be following them into the dark of destruction.
The adulteress, every man’s worse nightmare, will seduce those who cannot see past her beauty and promises.
Behind her attraction lies the steps that descend to hell.
No one who goes to her returns,
but how can anyone know this apart from God Himself telling us."
[Proverbs 2:12-22]

Take a good long look at where "Establishment Republicans" ALWAYS take us.

Not only that, but — and I admit this is petty — there’s just something about his @#$%^ FACE that makes me want to shove a pie into it.

I dunno... maybe it’s because he looks like a Kennedy or something.
