“Coulter said that everyone has “got to read” Thomas Sowell’s column, “Cruz Control,” published on Feb. 18, in which the prominent conservative economist and author criticizes Ted Cruz for weakening the Republican Party in order to remake it as a more pure conservative party in the long term. Sowell argues that such a strategy may bring America past the point of no return with respect to both Obamacare and the larger erosion of personal freedoms.”
The problem with this line of reasoning is that the status quo has brought us to the point where we got Obamacare and the current erosion of personal freedoms. If we don’t change the status quo, we can only expect more of the same.
Just a reply to everyone in general.
Coulter’s point is that the country is in immediate danger of being steamrolled by something much worse than liberal republicans. While we are busy trying to change the “status quo”, we may lose the country in a way that is much, much worse than Rinos in D.C. Thomas Sowell related this to the Nazis in Germany. The majority was split, allowing the Nazis to take power and do their worst. The change in status quo may have to wait in order to put the brakes on the Dems, or we may reach a point of no return. And at that point, there won’t be any Republican party or Tea Party.
One thing Democrats have always been good at is biding their time. Coulter and Sowell are just saying that we need to be practical and get our priorities straight.
