“Who in Republican leadership has the smarts, patriotism, or guts to do anything. This is like a boat sinking with no life preservers.”
Why should they stick their neck out only to get it chopped off. The men in this country will not stand up no matter what this Administration does. You want one or two politicians to be the Tiananmen Square guy? Knowing that NOBODY has your back PHYSICALLY. That includes everyone, mil, LE, private citizens - everyone. Nobody is going to back you up if you stand up and FIGHT these guys.
I put FIGHT in caps because of course soapbox speeches, verbal/written anger, chest thumping are allowed because they are harmless and just acts of frustration and this Admin knows it. But let someone or group decide to roll up the sleeves....oh boy.
The only recent incident that gave me any hope was men and women - private citizens - standing up to Big Gov at the Bundy Ranch. And then I proceeded to read countless posts from supposed gun loving conservatives (not here at FR but other sites) bitch and moan how taking the side of a tax scofflaw was the wrong decision and that it hurts “our side”. Great, lets wait for the perfect man to stand up for, Jesus, because everyone else is flawed and would hurt “our cause”.
Whatever that crap means.
My grandpa was from the Missouri Ozarks.
He once told me a story; that goats liked to get up on top of things. One time a goat jumped up on top of somebody’s brand-new Model A Sedan (they didn’t have steel roofs yet) and all of his hooves poked through the canvas and he fell down to his belly, his legs kicking inside the car.
