A new PBS documentary has exposed the motivating factors behind House Freedom Caucus members’ decision to propel donor-class favorite Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 58% into the most powerful position in Congress. As Speaker of the House, Ryan will have unilateral control over many aspects of the congressional agenda, including passage of Obamatrade in the lame duck session and amnesty legislation in 2017.

Face it! The country has been stolen right out from under the noses of the citizens. Getting it back will be problematical at best, impossible at worst. Can you say Zimbabwe?
Ignorant traitors
The Republic is in a death spiral and most of the ignorant sheeples are unawares!

Reading this makes me ill.
“Ignorant traitors”
I will have to disagree with you. They are traitors, but not ignorantly so.
The people in this country are so occupied with looking around at each other in consternation that they evidently think that is sufficient action to stop what is going on.
Now stop for a moment folks and ask yourself why it is that so many of the left’s itttle elves run around Free Republic telling you that we have to elect this type of human garbage ‘no matter what”.
Is it more likely they are acting out of a sense of patriotism or more likely they are here specifically to get you to elect the most liberal person that can be expected from a conservative group of voters?
Now ask yourselves why, as a conservative voter, you are not running these leftists out on a rail.
As the Red Eye Radio guys say: We’re doomed.
Gutierrez is just a foreign agent scumbag.
Ryan? I am at a loss.
Perhaps my ignorance of the House Freedom Caucus is my problem.
Step one. Identify the members.
Step two. Shine a constant light on them. Rats and cockroaches hate the light.
Yep—it started with Teddy Kennedy’s immigration bill—and the GOP has been complicit in the 50 years since.
Conservatives must vote these traitors out of Congress.
That means voting for Democrats, rather than RINO’s.
It is always better to have an enemy in front of you, than an assassin behind you.
WTF?
Are they for real?
If the HFC meshes with what that snake Gutierrez promotes, can someone explain to me how that is a good thing and makes sense?
“It is always better to have an enemy in front of you, than an assassin behind you.”
One would think that would be obvious but unfortunately a lot of people intentionally blind themselves to it. They want to WIN! and at the end of the day they don’t care with what. Like junkies, they want to ‘feel the rush’. They really don’t care how they get it.
Then they come to places like this and bemoan what they did to themselves and get to feel persecuted and have a group bitch. At the end of the day, there’s not a lot of different between the CANCERvative types and an open leftist. they both kill from within.
This is sickening and beyond outrageous!!!
FUPR
FUFC....if this proves to be true (it's being reported by Breitbart, so I have no reason to doubt).

The two-hour long presentation reveals that the House Freedom Caucus’ founding members have been among the most ardent boosters in Congress of Ryan’s career and his closest allies in trying to implement Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-FL) 2013 amnesty plan. It is this fact that explains how the group labeled by the media as anti-establishment foes is now the group responsible for placing the establishment’s favorite politician at the doorstep of the Speaker’s office.
In recent days, prominent conservatives and grassroots activists have slammed the House Freedom Caucus for what they described as a “betrayal” of the Republican electorate. As Rush Limbaugh said after Ryan issued his list of demands to House lawmakers:
You would not think that the Freedom Caucus, the conservatives in the House, the Tea Party caucus, whatever you want to call them, no way would they go along with this. No way under the sun would they go along with this. … But it looks like enough of them will. … This is how we get. … I don’t want to say “played,” folks, but I’m telling you: the script is written offsite, backstage. We don’t see that. We see everybody playing their part, including the Freedom Caucus members.
However, what conservative activists describe as a “betrayal” is, for several key members of the House Freedom Caucus, the fulfillment of their long-time desire to implement amnesty and alter the demographics of their districts through expanded immigration.
While the GOP electorate ejected Eric Cantor in large measure due to his support for Marco Rubio’s amnesty drive—followed by Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and current Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) —the PBS documentary reveals that one of the founding members of the House Freedom Caucus, Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC), embraces an even more progressive immigration agenda than Cantor himself.

Mulvaney is a sell out...just like Lyin Ryan!!
These “representatives” are careerists doing the bidding of corporate donors. Conservatives will never be able to successfully engage the Dems with this fifth column stabbing us in the back. They need to be dealt with first.
Ryan’s it now, had a taste of power and won’t give it back.
Time for a purge? Those 40 members are really far fewer.
Britebart picked this up from PBS and did a review. Which I feel warrants this question. Somebody please explain or even speculate why of all media sources available it’s PBS that does an “exposure” of Freedom Caucus at this time ?
I won’t vote Dem. Neither will I vote RINO. I can only affect my own district anyway. I don’t know what happens to these people when they get to Washington. Are they lying during their campaigns or do they just turn gutless when they get there?
We’re doomed.
