“... Without a Republican President in 2016 and without a strong majority in the U.S. Senate, the country has no chance of surviving in any form that we would recognize as the United States. We’d become like Argentina or even Venezuela, and on the path toward Greece and Detroit.”
Yeah, but what KIND of Republican? If we have a President like, say, Jeb Bush (horrors!!) we can all kiss our nation goodbye...
The progressives are so prevalent and so clever at creating language that obscures reality, it is difficult to discern any situation accurately in a particular event.
*creating language that obscures reality*
Good phrase. One of the lamestream networks should adopt it:
“SeeBS, obscuring reality since 1972”
I take it you do not quarrel with the point that NO Democrat is acceptable. As to whether some Republicans are also unacceptable, I’d say this: slowing down the decline of the country is a good thing. This is all we could expect from establishment Republicans like Jeb Bush.
I am sorry, but the decline that we’re in started during Bush 43. He did not deliver on his campaign promises of 2000. He had the excuse of 9-11; but, looking back, it is clear he over-reacted. Declaring war on Afghanistan (”authorizing the use of force”) was correct. But, we should have realized that we were in a “long war” with Islamic extremists, and avoided getting decisively engaged in Iraq. Operation Iraqi Freedom cost us the Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008. We went “all in” and lost our country to the Christian-hating, progressive socialist Democrats. A real conservative should recognize that the left is not simply the “honorable opposition,” but is another enemy of freedom.
For me to support somebody like Jeb Bush, he’d have to spell out why his brother was wrong. I just don’t see how he could do that. Plus, we have some emerging champions on our side. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin. Thank God for these patriots.
As to whether we back somebody like Jeb Bush because, according to some expert like Karl Rove, he can win while our preferred candidates can’t, I say that’s a risk I’m willing to take. As between (A) Go on the offense to turn the country around, versus (B) Go into the prevent defense to slow down the collapse of the country, I chose A.
