Today (Tuesday, 2015-01-06) American Patriots suffered a humiliating political defeat with John Boehners re-election as Speaker of the House.
This article challenges us all to accurately and truthfully ask WHY we were defeated today, and except for the Nov-2014 elections, the American Patriot movement has been politically beaten like a dog for the last few years.
Im asking Free Republics founder Jim Robinson to send this article to everyone at Free Republic, even if he disagrees with my words. My words will be plain, even if it means that Im afterward banned and exiled from Free Republic. I accept that possibility.
=====================================
Shown above is the picture that should have been on The Drudge Report last Saturday, and today (Tuesday) as American Patriots rallied from EVERY corner
put aside EVERY difference
and cleansed the GOP House political leadership of corrupt Aristocratic tyrants such as John Boehner and Eric Cantor.
Notice the homespun sign Fire Boehner. Whos holding the sign ? Frankly, its NOT important the message is.
That's "precisely" why John Boehner was reelected. Too many LEADERS were afraid someone else would "get the credit". This is DISGRACEFUL.
Over 150 Free Republic patriots responded to Jim Robinsons Thanksgiving-2014 call to rally nationally for a National Day of Reckoning against Obama-Boehner.
Over 315 Facebook patriots likewise pledged to hold local rallies on 2015-01-03 against Obama Amnesty & FIRE John Boehner.
Only three rallies were conducted. Over 450 promises. A miserable failure of Americas Tea Party leadership.
Folks
thats the PRIMARY reason John Boehner was re-reelected today, although 85-percent of Republicans think that John Boehner is an abject failure.
Far too many American Tea Party patriots were just too dammed lazy to rally, telephone, whatever to defeat John Boehner. Period.
You can bet your 401K account that had 450 local rallies happened on Saturday, in all fifty states, Matt DRUDGE would have cheerfully broadcast your GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS into the living room of EVERY damned U.S. Congressman and Senator. John Boehner probably would have resigned Sunday afternoon.
We earn the quality of Victory we fight for.
Today were abject failures. Why ?
=====================================
Kasserine Pass was the first major American defeat in World War II, as many learned from the movie Patton (George C. Scott, 1970). The Nazis enjoyed another North African victory at the expense of a bloody and humiliating American defeat.
Free Republic, and the American Tea Party at large (including over 200 Facebook political groups) have suffered a disastrous Kasserine Pass defeat of the Obama-Boehner-McConnell political axis of evil.
Frankly, Im very disappointed at our national Tea Party leadership. I hate failure and defeat. Do YOU as well ?
Why do leaders at Free Republic, Freedom Works, Overpasses for America, Tea Party News Network, Mark Levin's Fan Club, US Tea Party Political Activists National Assembly (et al) seem sometimes more interested in $$$ financial donations and stupid past arguments to EFFECTIVELY leading us to VICTORY ?
Free Republics Kenny Bunk perhaps best described us all (including me) as Our boys prefer bitchin to battling.
Every leader from every group mentioned above has indeed accomplished great things in fighting to SAVE the American Constitutional Republic. I personally thank each of them.
What Im incredulous over is that so many of these patriot groups FOUGHT me tooth-and-nail over the 2015-01-03 national rallies to STOP Obama Amnesty and FIRE John Boehner.
ALIPACs William Gheen e-mailed me TWICE to cancel, and then actively SABOTAGED and slandered the 2015-01-03 rallies to the Facebook Patriot community.
I have never seen such treachery.
=====================================
As much as we despise him, Al Sharpton is incredibly successful in accomplishing his missions ?
Why ?
Great Photographs (distributed nationally) of protester BOOTS ON THE GROUND ... distributed over and over and over.
Sharptons been so successful that theyve been able to convince most Americans that Hands Up - Dont Shoot is a FACT.
American Tea Party Patriots cant even persuade most Americans / Congressmen to FIRE Boehner (a TRUTH), whos universally as an utter Failure.
WHY is that ?
We DONT have BOOTS ON THE GROUND in GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS being distributed 24/7/365 (rain, cold, snow) in America on The Drudge Report.
Now ... DO have millions of Patriots at Free Republic and Facebook typing their little fingers into oblivion.
Sometimes, we even make a few telephone calls to Congress ... but NO ONE has PICTURES of that on the DRUDGE REPORT.
Al Sharpton makes sure his photographs get shown on the Drudge Report.
American Patriots ? Heck, were too lazy to even rally at local overpass for two hours (and NEVER create the photographs required for VICTORY).
What does Free Republic and Facebook Patriot Groups have to do to WIN ?
=====================================
Tea Party patriots will continue our parade of Kasserine Pass defeats until WE get our collective acts together.
Alone
Limbaugh, Hannity, Mark Levin, Jim Robinson, Daveda Gruber, Carol Bush, James Neighbors, Matt Kibbe, Eric Erickson
are NOT going to rescue America.
We MUST stand and fight
together.
If Free Republics Jim Robinson calls for a National Day of Reckoning against Obama Amnesty-Boehner, ALL should respect it and get-with-the-program.
Anyone who criticizes, SABOTAGES or slanders that effort should "Go To Hell".
If "Overpasses for Impeachment's" Roger Ogden calls for a rally, ALL should respect it and get-with-the-program.
Anyone who criticizes, SABOTAGES or slanders that effort should "Go To Hell".
If US Tea Party Political Activists (Daveda Gruber) calls us to rally ... ALL should respect that and get-with-the-program.
Anyone who criticizes, SABOTAGES or slanders that effort should "Go To Hell".
Most importantly
ANYONE who calls themselves an American Patriot
but tries to disrupt or SABOTAGE another phone blitzkrieg or national rally
should be tarred-and-featured (by their individual group) and sent packing to exile.
=====================================
Finally, The Drudge Report tells us (tonight) that the despicable John Boehner is now "purging" all those who votes against him today.
I will personally raise a toast tonight to the COURAGE of the U.S. Congressmen who rallied to DEFEAT John Boehner ...
But, quite frankly, FAILED, because the Tea Party Movement and it's LEADERS sat on their thumbs ... or worse, worked to SABOTAGE the 2015-01-03 national rallies.
=====================================
Let there be NO MORE John Boehner Victories or American Patriot Kasserine Pass DEFEATS.
America may NOT survive if WE keep fighting each other more than Obamas socialist nightmares.
Godspeed to All.

Look at history - how has freedom ever come about?
Only Constitutional amendments can change the political direction of this country toward liberty and states’ rights (see 1787, George Mason, et al., and the Bill of Rights). If that fails, secede (see 1776).
Success there requires a nation of people who are virtuous and Judeo-Christian.
Marching with signs, lawsuits, voting, agendas, changing a corrupt party “from the inside” - has not ever, ever resulted in liberty.
I’ve been “in the fight” a hell of a lot longer than you, Sunshine.
Now mind your manners.
“The beginning of legislative competence is being able to count votes beforehand.”
That’s a simple minded crack.
The insurgents fell one vote short. And that’s while losing three ‘allies’ who had said that they there going to vote against Boehner but reneged.
Boehner’s stooges may dismiss today’s challenge as being no big deal but the orange skinned drunk knows better.
“Yes its amazing how far Cali has swung to the left.
1966: Reagan 58/42
2014: Moonbeam 60/40”
I’ve been in SoCal the entire time. And the difference is due to demographics.
In 1966 SoCal was American suburbia. A land of aerospace engineers and surfers.
Today, in 2015, we are a colony of the 3rd world. We imported poverty and people whose native cultures think that the government should do things for them. And it’s not just illegals from Mexico who think that.
Welcome to post-America. We already see what it looks like in Cali. When Boehner collaborates with Obama to pass amnesty this year the rest of the country will join us.
Well said.
Rant ....
The only cure is the force of GOD, requested by prayer.
I pray for a charismatic populist limited government Christian conservative to make a third-party "independent" run for president in 2016, if the Republican party nominates another Romney-esque "Republican." Even if all that happened was the next leftist Republican or Democrat entered office on a plurality, at least it would be on record that a majority objected to the leftist in the White House. That negative would apply even to the populist Independent in the event he/she won, but at least it would be a start. Either way, limited government conservatives would benefit.
It’s time to do away with the political party system in America. That mindset, that extra-constitutional framework, has failed. It is destroying the republic.
Vote principle, vote truth, vote devotion to the sacred oath to support and defend the Constitution, and nothing else.
If you believe in representative self-government, and the candidates don’t support what you believe, stop supporting them.
It’s simple.
“I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.
This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.
There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the government and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in governments of a monarchical cast, patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.”
— George Washington, Farewell Address
Not really. The closest to that that you are going to find is James Webb. On some issues he is to the right of the GOPe.
I’m joining you on that one.
Thanks.
There are plenty of local and state level fascists too.
I would vote third party or stay home just to see the republicans slaughtered.
As for “fighting” another way, the people are outgunned. On top that, who would be the first willing to act other than posting stuff on the internet or sending emails.
We're forgetting something very important...from day one the Tea Party did NOT want to have any specific leadership...they wanted it to be a groundswell of people which for many was sufficient. They did inform and rally people for a time but it was always about up-seating politicians not to their liking and then would dwindle out until the next one running...and then it moved again.
I do not see how the Tea Party can continue without some sort of leadership at the top...but when ever that is raised there's an outcry against this. They are community organizers for the most part....and this with generally very limited funding.
The elites have always had a well organized and co-operation relationship between their groups....they understand the significance of getting behind their “winner” and seeing him through til the end. We don't do that...we scatter and run all over the place and bicker and fight rather than determine what principles to run a candidate with and on....and stay with him. This is why the DEMOREBUBS always put so many candidates out there.... they know full well they can get the “sheeple” to twist and squirm and never determine one to stand with. ...and it's always that way. We see it on these threads every time.
O yes they are much better organized in every way...and they know fully how to use social media VERY effectively....including the candidates who support them. Ours not so much.
You're correct we need to get people informed, but more as it happens rather than two or three days out....we're not good about that either....we don't look ahead but always seem to be in response mode rather than get ahead of the game to what is likely coming.
Conservatives are indeed conservatives...and as I see it not big risk takers...(like sheep they get scared easily)...where demorats just barge ahead and don't linger at their losses because they're already moving ahead because of their planning...basically all they do is reroute and or dodge what's in their way but they do keep moving. And they will do whatever it takes to move those obstacles out of the way...we want to be “fair” while they slam dunk the ball before we can even “think” about stopping their play....
I agree at this point also that party shouldn't matter now...we need to have a good man and everybody get behind him no matter if you a social conservative or whatever.
BTW Demorats know if they can get us tangled up on social issues instead of government they have us in their web. Which is why I opposed Santorum so much....he may have attracted the conservatives for his social issues but he'd never win the election...ever..and he won't now. We need those who can win the debates and attract all peoples to his court.
Imo Cruz has the ability, style and head knowledge to see things coming before they get there....and he's proved this. I may not agree with him at every point when he seems to oppose some of my issues but I realize he's got to play to all people and I'd trust his conservative values to fully kick in once he wins.
But I'm open for any Conservative that is really that....Jeb isn't, Santorum isn't, Romney certainly isn't a consideration and neither is Huckleberry. None of them can win the election though they might in the primary.
It's just flat out frustrating we have the divisions we do and for that things do not fly for us....
bttt for a better time
I wish some would bolt.....just to see it shake out
His daughter is married to Rastafarian
I mean really....we expect any sort of conservatism from this man
Ar the State level, I think it is fair to say it would have been preferable to see Boehner lose to a Democrat.
