“Well, liberals/socialists created this hill, this upward challenge that for some reason some conservatives feel the need to climb...Why???”

I’m afraid your mistaken, they didn’t create the hill of power for that hill has existed for as long as there has been government.

Our Forefathers were very much aware of it and did their best to create a system with numerous checks that they hoped might slow the growth of this evil. Even Still many if not most of them like Thomas Jefferson knew there could be no halting of this natural evil.

This is why Thomas Jefferson said:
“The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” – Thomas Jefferson

By this Thomas Jefferson was stating an observed and deducible fact from the history and nature of man respectively. As I recall my history few of our few if any of our forefathers expected our republic to last this long, and indeed many would say It hasent.

I suppose in the most strict definition, our republic died at Fort Sumter just over 150 years ago when it was determined to be held together by force of arms rather than the consent of its governed.


“I predict they will fail every single time doing that...”

People tend to lose quite regularly when they surrender, although the truth be said we would have been better off never having engaged in that fight knowing the RINO’s would stab us in the back. But I suppose if we were to assume that we would never go into much less win any fights.

Just tell me one thing, we can get the head of the traitorous John McCain and Lindsey Graham! I have had enough of them backstabbing us. I don’t care if we have to vote for democrats to take their seats. Theses RINO’s are more dangerous to us and our brand than democrats.

Of course I do not imply surrender in this feckless arena of politics...It is too easy, if you have the numbers of engaged Americans who take their rage to the polls every single time...It is not a lot to ask, in my opinion...

As for the battle of the RINO’s, It is to surrender to replace them if you vote for a democrat to replace them, plain and simple...You are not alone on this thought, and it is a dangerous trend in the electorate these days...

There are always options, and people like Graham and McCain have track records to prove our frustration with them that would fill libraries...And even they are not alone...

It all hinges on how YOU react and what YOU do on election day...

These local elections next month are critical because I believe if we are able to show up on such a low priority election, it is a win/win for the liberals...They want a low turnout, thats why you needs to decide if YOU are going to remain fully engaged for a time period that really, in these times is a full time hobby...Most people do not understand that kind of committment, and that is what gets us into trouble in the long run...

Apathy will kill the conservative movement in this country, it is already weakened from attacks outside and from within the political affiliations we all make these days...

There is always something to study, something to learn, something to discover about someone or something political in this country...You just have to commit fully to the fight...And it is not just you, this does not fall totally upon the individual...

We need to learn a lesson in how to duplicate ourselves as well...Not only for political operations, but at the polls...This is actually easy to do, and its not limited to just having one person to do what you do at those polls...I’d try to get as many as possible in that regard...

This is not surrender, far from it, it is engaging an enemy that has absolutely no virtue, or substance in their lives and would rather be led around by the nose ring by those who do know how to duplicate themselves and perpetuate a destructive path which this country is currently on right now...

That is very much how I see it. A union from which on one can leave is hardly a voluntary one. It is like being married where there is no legal divorce possible.
