The phrase”TRUE CONSERVATIVE” has proven to be worthless and even a warning sign for conservative voters.

This article author wrote the great book “The People’s Republic” which is a novel that predicts the future of the US more less.

I recommended it highly in addition to all of the books by *Matt Bracken* who is a freeper here.

“True Conservative”?...It conjurs up images of the 50’s and maybe it’s supposed to, but those days are long gone. Do they really expect me to buy into that crap?

I think Schlichter may be the best writer of the day.

This is a great article. The fake conservatives are just that.
Just fake conservatives.
Trump has thrown DACA back on their lap.
We will soon see who is willing to walk the plank
for their rich amnesty pimp donors as primary
election season approaches.
Trump just opened the door for credible
primary challengers in the states a Trump won.
Hopefully some very credible challengers
will jump in.

This coming primary season may turn into
a rare “Throw The Bums Out” election.

To put it another way...

Ryan: “I never actually thought that I’d have enough power to implement my promises. Now things are different.”

"This article author wrote the great book “The People’s Republic” which is a novel that predicts the future of the US more less."

Yeah... I'm about half way through this one now... There's a real good chance this is precisely the way we'll end up.. I kinda like the idea... Too bad I'm in my mid 70's and will miss the whole thing....

Very good book...

The current GOP is the party of corporate lobbyists.

Every move they make is to fulfill their desires.

So-called “conservatism” is nothing but the shtick they use to get the votes of the rubes so they can stay in power.

The party is comprised of Blue Dog Democrats and corporate liberals.

All they have to do is every election:

- Pose with a gun in a photo.
- Quote a bible verse.
- Talk with a really heavy country twang.
- Refer to (insert relative here) that was a veteran, or talk up their service.
- Make sure you see their kids and how white their teeth is.
-Play lots of country music at rallies and visit lots of county fairs.
-Say “Constitution” a few times.

And 80% of the right will lick the sidewalk in front of you.

You just watch in 2018, and see how many of these loudmouths actually NOT knock these guys out of their seats.

It seems that the organized crime politicians in DC are of one mind against “We The People” that put them into office. “We the people” are a diverse group unlike DC crime family. We are the silent majority, conservatives, Catholics, Baptists and the other denominations. We are moral, hard working tax payers which the DC crime family continually rob.
