Perry: "Time for a Little Rebellion"

National Review Online ^ | March 7, 2014 | Andrew Johnson

[Biggirl]

Touting the contrast between red states and blue states, Rick Perry kicked off the second day of CPAC by spiritedly urging his audience to help bring back those successful conservative policies that have been absent in Washington for the last several years. “It’s time for a little rebellion on the battlefield of ideas,” the Texas governor said, paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson.

“We don’t have to accept recent history — we just need to change the presidency,” Perry continued. “We must elect the right kind of leaders to represent us to Washington.”

[Kazan]

Rick Perry, he will NEVER get my vote, and as a matter of fact, I will vote AGAINST him, no matter who it is.

And, that level of idiocy has just about destroyed the nation with an Obama second term.

I question whether one is a conservative if he or she would rather have Hillary Clinton than Rick Perry in office.

That would finish the country once Hillary replaces Scalia and Kennedy on the Supreme Court with liberal justices.

Dumb, dumb, dumb....

[Yosemitest]

Read comment #52.
What's dumb is the conservatives COMPROMISING THEIR VALUES to the wiull of the moderates and RINOs.

NO MORE !

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]

Read Compromise Is a Dirty Word for Club for Growth.

We will never unify under "Establishment Republicans" .
"Establishment Republicans" have more in common with the Democrats, than they do with Conservatives.
The weak candidates are "Establishment Republicans", weak on national security, amnesty for illegals, abortion, and government spending.
"Establishment Republicans" scream "COMPROMISE".
And people who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.
These "Establishment Republicans" are being weeded out, one by one, and slowly but surely, the TEA Party is taking over.

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

[BuckeyeTexan]

I think you have outlined a good, workable plan. While I am skeptical of the “deport 12 million” political-stump rhetoric, I don’t believe such skepticism is prompted by an inherent assumption of Operation Wetback as the only alternative. It isn’t in my case. So we disagree about the dog whistle. That doesn’t put us on opposite sides. We want the same things: no amnesty, no illegals.

[trisham]

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.

I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere."

~Thomas Jefferson

[Biggirl]

Thank-you for making my day with that.

[trisham]

:)

[little jeremiah]

” I don’t see deporting 12 million as any more feasible, logistically speaking, than building and maintaining a border fence. Is it a great idea? Hell, yeah, in theory.

---

The hundreds of thousands of illegals in our prisons costing US money can be shipping to MX. Anyone found to be illegal can easily be deported. And any who have committed crimes deported even faster, with shackles on.

I see no problem whatsoever. I guess you aren’t really bothered by the problem of millions and millions of illegals here committing huge numbers of crimes and sucking taxpayer money.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I guess you aren’t really bothered by the problem of millions and millions of illegals here committing huge numbers of crimes and sucking taxpayer money.

You would be sorely mistaken. My question is not "should we" it's "how do we?" Twenty something years ago, I bought a brand new car. My first. I parked it at my apartment complex. I came home from a business trip to find my new car smashed to smithereens by a drunk illegal with no insurance. He shoved my car into the property's water fountain. Guess who paid for all of it? Guess who ran from the scene and got off scott free?

[little jeremiah]

Your personal anecdote has nothing to do with your defeatist attitude of “12 million illegals can’t be deported”.

And who knows how many it really is.

Make ‘em self deport by cutting off every free anything, and harsh repercurssions for anyone hiring illegals, too.

They stay because they can work, they can get foodstamps/free medical/welfare, fake IDs, and commit crime after crime, and nothing happens. Stop all that many millions will leave.

It’s time to make them feel pain by staying here.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I never said they couldn’t all be deported. I said it appears to be a logistical nightmare and asked how it can be done. That makes me a skeptic not a defeatist.

I’m all for self-deportation.

[little jeremiah]

Logistical nightmare?

Nowhere near the logistical nightmare of having them here.

[thecodont]

I like Perry and I think he would make a terrific President.

Seconded.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

it is not realistic to deport the millions of illegal immigrants already living in the United States.

That's true, instead we should be sending them, running for their lives, for the border.

[Kazan]

. What's dumb is the conservatives COMPROMISING THEIR VALUES to the wiull of the moderates and RINOs.

What you don't grasp is that the Scarlett Letter purity you embrace would result in Ronald Reagan being deemed a RINO if he were running today. Reagan did a lot of things that weren't conservative in California and while in office.

The establishment loves attacks on conservatives like Perry. They can literally pick their candidate, knowing conservative puritans will rip apart candidates that 90% conservative

[Yosemitest]

"... the Scarlett Letter purity you embrace would result in Ronald Reagan being deemed a RINO if he were running today.
The establishment loves attacks on conservatives like Perry."...

Oh, give me a break.
You can't be that stupid about Reagan,

unless you're extremely young and all your information on the GREATEST PRESIDENT OF OUR TIME come from liberal schools (public)
and you don't have any friends that live in Texas.

Perry's flying a "False Flag".
And you think he's conservative?
You must be young, or one of his relatives, or an ILLEGAL ALIEN that's working for him.
His positions on Immigration and on Border Security, mark him as a pretender. "Establishment Republicans" are feigning anger at Perry, because ~ secretly ~ Perry's one of them,
and his positions on Immigration and Border Security prove it.

Grow up!

[Yosemitest]

I agree.
Rand Paul or Ron Paul, they bus people into those conventions to "stack the deck" against the real conservatives.
Why? Just to legalize drugs.
Those pot-heads wouldn't vote for the betterment of this country to save their wallets for themselves or their children.
They vote to smoke dope, and that's all.

[Kazan]

You can't be that stupid about Reagan

Reagan GRANTED amnesty to 11 million illegals. He agreed to raise taxes in exchange for spending cuts that never happened.

You're completely ignorant of the fact that Reagan did a lot of mistakes. That didn't prevent him from being a great President.

Were you even alive during the 1980s?

[Yosemitest]

Reagan's biggest mistake: he trusted the Democrats to KEEP THEIR WORD, which is something THEY NEVER DO.
Reagan is the best President of the modern times, unlike the EVIL that is put forth by the Democrats,

and Perry is a pretender, nothing less.

How you could back such a charlatan is beyond me.

[Kazan]

Reagan is the best President of the modern times, unlike the EVIL that is put forth by the Democrats,

He was -- in retrospect. But, if he were President today and tried to pass legislation giving amnesty to illegals, you'd tarring and feathering him.

He did things in California that weren't always conservative either than he would have been attacked for if he were running today.

Reagan is the one that always made the point that someone agrees with you 80% of the time is your friend, not your enemy. You haven't learned that.

It's people like you ripping Perry apart that make it easy for the establishment to divide conservatives and give us McCain and Romney as nominees.

It will Christie or Jeb Bush in 2016 if people like you want to rip apart someone like Perry if he ends up being the alternative to the establishment candidate.
