No wonder I don’t donate to the NRCC.

I’m getting on in years, but I seem to recall there was a time when that the NRCC was worth supporting. Was it in the 70’s? These days they are all a bunch of cucks led by Cuck-in-Chief Stivers.

If the following claim is true, then it was right to dump King: King linked to an article by the Voice of Europe Friday that quoted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban saying that cultures shouldn’t be mixed, arguing that it’s “against common sense.” King tweeted the story with the message, “Diversity is not our strength.” “Assimilation has become a dirty word to the multiculturalist Left. Assimilation, not diversity, is our American strength,” he tweeted.

So you think that holding the "American Melting Pot" view of cultural assimilation is racist or should somehow disqualify someone from public office?! There is nothing in his statement about race. Have you been blinded by the leftist to discerning the difference between race and culture? Any society that equates these two vastly different things is doomed to destruction.

By Rs or Ds?

I suspect the Democrats may gain a few, but not enough to take control.

Republicans:

Their only principle is to have no principles.
Their only strategy is preemptive surrender.
Their only plan for victory is to tick off their base as much as possible.

The Republican Party was formed to replace the Whigs because the Whigs would not take a stand on the critical issues of the day. They did such a good job of replacing the Whigs that they have become the Whigs.

There is only one thing in politics worse than Republicans: Democrats.

Remember that on the morning of the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton had a “98 percent” chance of winning the presidential election. We all know how that turned out.

Not "diversity" (especially not as the left understands that term), but a diverse unity. Someone years ago likened it to a tapestry. In a tapestry, you can see all the individual threads, but they are in the context of the whole work.

That's us, that's America. Bring the best of your culture with you, and integrate it into the whole of American culture. Don't keep it separate; don't isolate it; don't be a "subculture." Integrate your thread into the larger work.

Our national motto is E pluribus unum, "From many, one." We are a unified whole with disparate elements, or at lest that's what we're supposed to be. But we need tofind out unum, because we're tribalizing, Balkanizing, and fracturing,and a country cannot survive that way.

Steve King is a longtime friend of Free Republic who has spoken at DC Chapter events.

This was essentially a new district since 2000. Northwest Iowa will you not vote for a Dem for at least another generation.

The confusion is because the disrict used to include Des Moines, which is no longer true. This current 4th District is about as rural as a district can get.

For those who are Trekkers, note the Borg. (For the non-Trekkers, the Borg are the villains.) Note the standard Borg greeting, and see what it tells you about LibThink:

“We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”

Being honest and speaking out against long standing leftist utopian indoc bullcrap is a good reason to dump a politician when we’re desperately trying to keep control of both houses?

Virtue single harder. I don’t think the SJWs can hear you from here.

I won’t say White “supremacists” don’t exist, unfortunately we have a Nazi running for Congress in Chicago (won the GOP nomination cause no one else ran, rightly denounced by the entire party) but I trust you are aware that decent conservatives, including our President, are falsely accused of being racist ALL THE TIME.

In the case of Faith Goldy, Toronto Mayoral Candidate (3rd place), if she’s one you could have fooled me, there were a bunch of Asians and Blacks among her followers. If THIS is why people are mad at King, give me a break.

https://www.faithfortoronto.ca/

Here’s her website, doesn’t seem like you can find it via google search. Looks like a good platform to me. She absolutely would have had my vote over the odious center-left Mayor (former Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory) and the far-left opposition candidate.

As for Steve King, he is the Republican nominee for a seat in the US House, which you may be aware the democrats are trying to take over. I don’t care if he’s on videotape murdering schoolchildren, the ONLY sensible choice is to elect him over the Pelosi democrap, if necessary (it’s not) he could then resign so there could be a special election, doesn’t that sound much better to you than a Pelosibot in there for 2 years that we’d have to spend a million bucks to oust in 2020? Have you noticed that piece of garbage new Black Lives Matter Senator from Alabama voting against the MAGA agenda?

Democrats will launch a jihad against the President and raise taxes if they win. This must be prevented at all costs. EYE ON THE BALL. Democrats would NEVER denounce a dem nominee that had a chance to win.

To my eyes this “controversy” is nothing more than attempt to steal a seat.

It's like that old saying, when you live in a society that is run by committee, be sure to be on the committee. Better to be the assimilator than to be assimilated.

Pretty sure my FRiend Art was being sarcastic there.

Impy, your post 74 was excellent.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3701473/posts?page=74#74

Thank you for the wonderful sting of a judicious smackdown [which I richly deserved].

My many FRiends know I have no problem with ‘assimilation’ — it’s the ‘not mixing races’ which troubles me.

Since the Swamp is openly trying to destroy him, is the perfect time for King to clear that up and make lemonade out of lemons. He could do that with the Trump Administration — maybe with the press secretary and perhaps even ask for a Trump tweet or phone call [if not better].

Impy was incredulous that a guy like me would get it so wrong. But I did. And he schooled me.

FRegards....
