Whats up with Thomas Sowell and Ted Cruz? Whatever it is, Sowell is dead wrong.
I am immensely tired of hearing Thomas Sowell trying to tell us to take it up the keester and vote Republican again (with no distinction as to RINO vs. Conservative). IMMENSELY TIRED!.
Just what the heck difference is his cute “Dunkirk” analogy versus our illustrious Senate Republican Leadership engineering YEA Cloture Votes on OBAMA LEGISLATION and then voting NO in a certain-loss plurality vote that ends up passing OBAMA LEGISLATION.
Frankly, Thomas Sowell can STFU.
It’s like they used to say about the British at war - they lost every battle but the final one.
“Wars are about winning, not futile symbolic gestures that leave you worse off.”
Says the guy that was a photographer in the Marines.
I guess King Leonidas, the 300 Spartans, and the 700 Thespians should have let Xerxes and the Persians walk into Greece.
If you keep retreating, this will never happen!
Republicans have been "saving their bullets" forever. Time to unload.
” - - - -
1.) * Whatever the Republicans threatened, President Obama could call their bluff.
2.) * They would either have to back down or have a second government shutdown for which they would be blamed.
3.) *Another shutdown could doom their chances of winning the Senate in the 2014 elections, and perhaps even cost them the House of Representatives.- - - “
The above 3 sentences quoted from Sowell’s article demonstrate the following:
* how easy it has been for Obama and Reid to refuse to work with the Republicans;
* Obama and Reid to shut down part of the Federal Government;
* Obama and Reid to blame their shutdown on the Republicans;
* for Obama and Reid to have full confidence that the Left Stream Media would falsely claim that Reid and Obama did not shutdown the Government;
* Sowell is fearful of bluffs, fighting to damage the enemy, and paranoid about what, “could, would or perhaps” happen;
* Sowell approves of being blamed for something that he or the RINOs didn’t do;
* and that Sowell himself still believes that Obama and Reid did not shutdown the Federal Government, Barrycade our War Monuments, or stop funeral payments to the families of The Commander in Chief’s own Military dead.
FREEPERS: Would anyone with a Military background choose to have Thomas Sowell in y’alls Foxhole when an attack comes from the enemy?
Professor Sowell is well suited to be a card-carrying Obsolete RINO Intellectual for the following Sowell Rules of Battle:
* Always retreat when given the rare opportunity to inflict major harmful attrition on an enemy;
* Never defend any Principles that involve the defense of the US Constitution;
* Always put Political Party above Country;
* Never challenge a bluff in a battle;
* Never attempt to refute any lie that the enemy promotes against you;
* Always assume that the only way possible for a victory is to have control of the House, Senate and Presidency;
* Never attack the enemy first, always stay on friendly defense.
* Wait for the exact moment when it is obvious to the Left Stream Media, and even the most timid RINO that winning is a certainty.,vacations and weather permitting.

Sowell’s analogy to Dunkirk leaves out - - - “the rest of the story.”
England had a Warrior in Churchhill who could motivate men to follow him into the Gates of Hell.
Churchhill spoke often about fighting in the fields, and never, Ever, EVER, GIVE UP!
Okay Sowell: Who is the Churchill Warrior among the Obsolete RINO troops that believe what you write?
———————————————————— . Thought so!

Sowell mentioned that the English citizens risked their lives to rescue the Remnants of the British Army stranded at Dunkirk.
Okay Sowell: We, the internet FREEPERS, risk our lives every we describe on the internet the REALITY of the current Communist takeover of our Republic.
Yes, RISK! We FReepers KNOW that every word we type is recorded by the NSA, distributed to Holder’s FBI, the IRS, the TSA, Pentagon, the ATF, the Data files of the Democrat Party, certain Foreign Governments, and the CIA.
You, Thomas Sowell, need not fear the “knock on the door’ by the various armed forces of Communist Obamanation.
You need not fear because you have chosen to play by the rules imposed on you by the enemy. You and the RINOs are equivalent to the Vinchy French when France fell to Hitler.
Would you, Thomas Sowell have even bothered to get out of bed when Paul Revere rode by shouting “The British are coming!” ?
My guess is that you would have said “The British are the mightiest Military force in the World. This a fight that we can’t win. We are doomed to lose everything.”
The battle we fight to save our Republic from the Jackboot heel of Communism has proven to be of no concern to the RINO Wing of the Republican Party.
The RINOs, including yourself, foolishly assume that there will be a future election held that will reward the cowardly RINOs by voting them back in. We did that in 2012 and now the RINOs are fighting us. Fine! BRING IT!
Why should we vote in cowardly RINOs who will not fight Communism?
The RINOs had 5 YEARS to plan an effect attack, and failed.
Now it is our turn, and we will fight you and elected RINOs FIRST, as y’all have proven to be traitors in the Battle against Communist Obamanation.
Our votes will come from Americans who in one Minute have gotten out of bed, grabbed clothes, ammunition and muskets, and then assembled on The Village Green as America shifts up into second gear Cruz Control for November, 2014.
DONT TREAD ON ME
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
"...these young men, going forth every morn to guard their native land and all that we stand for, holding in their hands these instruments of colossal and shattering power, of whom it may be said that
Every morn brought forth a noble chance And every chance brought forth a noble knight,
deserve our gratitude, as do all the brave men who, in so many ways and on so many occasions, are ready, and continue ready to give life and all for their native land."
"...we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,..." - Winston Churchill
As I recall, the Alamo, which they knew they’d lose, bought time to form an army and eventually defeat Santa Anna.
Many people on this believe in an all or nothing purity test. I will be flamed without mercy for observing an actually undeniable truth. The best outcome we can hope for this November and in 2016 is a mixed victory. I hope every TEA Party candidate running wins and wins big but if they can’t get through the primary process we have to hold our noses and vote for the GOP. I hate it but there is no reasonable way to deny it. There will likely be a SCOTUS nomination for the senate to deal with and a democrat senate will be a disaster for nine of the first ten amendments.
This matter must be handled by grown-ups. The rest of you can flame away.
Is Sowell now a race pimp?
Wonder if Mr. Sowell has ever heard of the Battle of Leningrad.
GREAT ANALOGY!!!
Ted Cruz knows he cannot depend on establishment GOP members to have his back.
He needs us, citizens of the Republic, to stand up and help him in this battle against bigger government.
Bump To The Top
Thomas Sowell is 83. Perhaps dementia and some money under the table has something to do with this.
Thomas Sowell has sold out his integrity and conservative credentials to carry the water of the GOPe with his participation in this most recent ORCHESTRATED (see Anne Coulter et al) attack on Ted Cruz.
This most recent campaign is sputtering and unsuccessful and merely degrades the reputations of those carrying the GOPe water. Ted Cruz is handling all this BRILLIANTLY.
He's done.
In my view that's a victory even if a dhimmi wins that seat.
I'm tried of forever fighting a rearguard action; let's minimize our losses so we can surrender again tomorrow is not a rallying cry to our troups.
At some point we stand firm and say this far and no f!ckin' further!
Don’t worry about Cruz. If Mc Connell is Majority Leader next January, Senator Cruz might get a seat on the Public Sewer Committee.
Sowell says that “Symbolism and emotional self-indulgence are just not worth it.”
Wrong! Symbolism usually is worth it! If the GOP will not show why it is different from the democrats, why should anyone vote GOP?
And I do not consider Cruz's stance to be self-indulgent. It was done as a matter of principle. What I do consider to be self-indulgent is Sowell’s rambling attempt to teach us some sort of history lesson.
Thomas Sowell who I deeply respect is simply off his meds on this one.
