Republicans Must Unify Against the Left
Townhall.com ^ | February 17, 2021 | Star Parker

Posted on 02/17/2021 5:42:17 AM PST by Kaslin

Former President Donald Trump captured the core of the problem in his official statement following his acquittal in the Senate impeachment trial: "It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree."

This is the state of affairs today.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, salivating over the one article of impeachment hastily passed by her House against Trump, used national time and resources to do this for one reason and one reason only: to personally damage Trump and create division in the Republican Party.

It was clear that there was no way Donald Trump would be convicted in the Senate. But politics was the point, not the Constitution.

Now that President Trump has been acquitted, the left-wing media is stepping up to do its part to fan the flames and assure that no burning ember that could potentially damage Republicans is wasted.

Longtime Fox News token lefty Juan Williams wrote a piece for The Hill newspaper under the guise of truly caring about the health of the Republican Party, offering his heartfelt advice to Republicans to purge the "kooks" in favor of the conservatives. Or, as he says, to choose "reality" over delusion.

Williams, saying he's got Rep. Liz Cheney's "back," defends her against the pursuit of Republican "kooks" who condemn her for voting to impeach Trump.

For years, the media has portrayed the Democratic Party -- the party of abortion on demand, same-sex bathrooms and every failed socialist idea known to mankind -- as the party of sobriety and sanity, in contrast to Republican wackos.

Former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley availed herself to an interview with Politico, which did the expected hatchet job on her.

This was one of these so-called interviews where not the full transcript was published but rather only snippets, interlaced with comments and editorializing by the interviewing journalist.

The headline practically all of the media have run about the interview includes Haley saying that Trump "let us down."

This extraordinary woman of accomplishment comes off in this feature as lost and confused.

Let's face it. President Trump's challenge of governing in the face of "fake news" and media dominated by liberals was real.

Maybe it's wrong for someone, certainly the president of the United States, to become angry and combative.

But consider that Trump spent the first half of his presidency fending off fabricated charges of abuse of power and conspiracy to influence the 2016 election, which led to his first impeachment and acquittal. And it turned out that the basis of it all was a dossier whipped up by someone in the employ of the Democratic Party and used as legitimate intelligence by the FBI. And all the perpetrators of this horrible, corrupt scheme are off scot-free.

I appeal to Republicans to not let the smoke bellowing forth daily from the Democratic Party/left-wing mainstream media complex blindside them.

Our nation is limping, deeply wounded and dangerously close to fiscal and moral bankruptcy.

There is a reason why Americans picked a man with no prior political experience as their president in 2016. "Make America Great Again" was about the critical and noble crusade to restore "one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Compared to this vital and noble mission, current injuries and differences in the party are but superficial wounds.

Republicans must unify to continue working to restore American greatness and keep focus on the real enemy: A corrupt, deeply confused and dangerous left-wing regime now holds the reins of power in our nation.

As opposed to Texas officials signing away 23% of our power grid to wind for green activists to get them to be quiet?

As long as there are RINO’s the party will never unify.

That’s why it needs to go. Trump seems to think he can flush all of them out. Neva hatchy. After the massive backstabbing he got Jan 6th I just cannot see why he does not want to start from scratch, such as a MAGA party, or a Patriot party.

Maga/Deplorable Republicans are not Establishment Republicans.

They cannot unite.

Impossible. They haven’t done so with consistency in the past and they’re not going to do so in the future. I hope the GOP DISAPPEARS and is replaced by an AMERICA FIRST party, and the sooner the better.

The one issue we might unify on is the stolen election. If the rhinos get on board with us in proving that, and taking the necessary steps to ensure it never happens again, we have a chance to go forward as a team.

They have been able to unify with the majority of the party all along. They choose not to. Don’t ask us to move left to join them.

We will unify around Trump. Let’s start things off by removing both McConnell and Cheney from leadership posts, this will help to gain our trust for unity.

There can be no unity with the RINOs who have given their fealty to The Swamp and mammon. They serve only themselves and have no regard for Founding Principles or the documents setting forth the boundaries for a government that is there foremost to ensure God-given rights.

Personally, I want to destroy the Republicans. Burn the whole thing down. It will also destroy the dems. Then you will have 65% MAGA, 25% CCP AOC and 10% retardos.

The Democrats have to have the RINOS to push against. Without a faux opposition party the Dems will disintegrate and turn in on itself.

Yeah, all those worthless damned windmills are FROZEN IN PLACE and WILL NOT WORK with all that snow and ice clogging them up!!! Yeah, get rid of coal and oil. Let’s freeze our asses off in Siberia, formerly known as Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee. States THAT SHOULD BE AT 60 DEGREES RIGHT NOW BUT ARE BELOW ZERO!!! Oh, right, GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE BY TRUMP is at fault. Not their stupid ideas to place our heat and power on a bunch of worthless windmills where over HALF do not work at any one time!!! We drove by one of those out west one time when we were on vacation. It was like 95 degrees and burning hot. But, at this windmill farm we passed, fewer than 25 percent of the damned things were turning!!! 75% were not working!!!
