Today (Tuesday, 2015-01-06) American Patriots suffered a humiliating political defeat with John Boehner’s 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.


I’m asking Free Republic’s 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 I’m 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”. Who’s holding the sign ? Frankly, it’s 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 Robinson’s 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 America’s Tea Party leadership.

Folks … that’s 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 we’re 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, I’m “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 Republic’s “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 I’m 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”.

ALIPAC’s 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.

Sharpton’s been so successful that they’ve been able to convince most Americans that “Hands Up - Don’t Shoot” is a FACT.

American Tea Party Patriots can’t even persuade most Americans / Congressmen to FIRE Boehner (a TRUTH), who’s universally as an utter Failure.

WHY is that ?

We DON’T 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, we’re 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 Republic’s 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 Obama’s socialist nightmares.

Godspeed to All.

Even if a conservative runs third party all it will do is give you a slot you can vote for. They won’t win because the deck is stacked.

probably too latr at this point to fix it by elections. Maybe some day people will realize what they have lost a make a fight for renewal. At this time, it ain’t happening.

“What got Reagan elected?”

What got Reagan elected was being a movie star as well as a newly minted conservative who could communicate very well with people when on a TV screen.

He got elected because moderates felt like they ‘knew’ him from seeing him on TV and in movies. They voted for him as a result. Reagan was elected by moderates. Back then very few people were not politcal junkies. They voted the person, not the policies.

America got lucky in that Reagan was a lot of other good things besides being a celebrity.

I applaud grassroots efforts, but frankly it’s the tail trying to wag the dog.

It’s not inconsistent with conservative principles to understand reality - that’s what Rush means when he says he’s the “Mayor of Realville”. This was less a “defeat” than a predictable pre-ordained outcome, and I’ve never felt there was the slightest chance Boehner would be deposed.

Why? Because the reality is, his is a position of POWER. It took years to build it and he’s not about to allow it to be torn down. The reality is, some congressmen probably got thousands of phone calls urging them to vote against Boehner. But they got one phone call that reminded them of all the reasons they really didn’t want to do that. They are not bad, evil, stupid, (or silliest of all, being blackmailed)- they simply live in a political environment that operates on a well-understood but not visible set of rules.

Plus there’s the question of picking one’s battles. Is removing Boehner the hill we want to die on? Or should the energy be devoted instead to supporting conservative primary candidates, defunding Obamacare, or repealing Dodd-Frank? If I were able to force my congress person to do one of those, Boehner would be at the bottom of the priority list.

Of course, conservatives have failed to organize and consolidate and fund their own power base, and that’s much more worthy of regret.

We need a million man march to Washington DC. as they did in UKraine, Republic of Georgia, Egypt and other countries.

A strike , nothing moves in Washinngton DC. we protest until the dictator Obama resigns. they did in Georgia , Egypt etc.

Also a Constitutional Convention. the States need to take back power from the unconstitutional federal government . the fed government has grown too large and too powerful and Obama is a dictator

RE:”Free Republic’s Bitter Kasserine Pass DEFEAT with John Boehner : WHY ARE WE HAPPY TO KEEP LOSING ?”

Check out this title!

Was the idea of today's stand to win anything?

Like the shutdown its seems like the idea was to lose.

Where's the evidence of otherwise?

Newly minted?!

“It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government." This idea that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power, is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. (October 27, 1964)
Ronald Reagan

there are about 13 million conservatives that are pissed right now. Let me predict that we will win in the end. The Rino class is not going to get our vote. We are staying home h
. There is no difference at all between hillary and a bushie. Amnesty loving tax raising — totally the same. Im out on both. Im ready for a well funded serious third party. Needs 1 billion dollars. I will now pray for it. I stayed home on that damned romney. He is totally finished so now they trot out little boy bushie. Ain’t gonna happen. WE DEMAND A CONSERVATIVE!!

That includes Hugh Hewitt, the so-called conservative talk show host. I was listening to a segment of his show today and twice he referred to those in the house trying to defeat Boehner as “dissidents”

I figured Hewitt would say something like that. Out here, Michael Medved, whose show precedes Hewitt, was crowing and gloating over Boner's win.

Was the Battle of Kasserine Pass a half-*ssed and last minute effort?

If not, I’d say that’s a poor comparison.

“...Kasserine Pass...”

Remember - that was a battle in a larger war. We need to keep things in context.

This war ain’t over.

“For me, it means that if I have to rally in a foot of snow, or rain and sleet, I’m gonna be there. Period.”

That’s great, but don’t be surprised if you are not successful in getting a bunch of people to join you.

No, BOEHNER is the humiliated one. He was supposed to be elected unanimously.

“More and more matters that should be local ARE being concentrated in Washington DC, we need to fight that every step of the way also.”

Excellent observation.

As the federal fascists move to take away local control, we move to take away federal control of states and local government. It’s outlined legally in the US v Mack USSC decision.

But I don’t give a cr*p about legalities anymore. I’m getting ready for war.
