Why ‘Aw, Shucks Conservatism’ Utterly Disqualifies Any GOP Politician
The Federalist ^ | July 15, 2021 | By Joy Pullmann

Too many Republicans still won't understand the nature of the opposition. They are culture war Neville Chamberlains, feeding Americans to the Minotaur one generation at a time.

KEYWORDS: assistantdemocrats; conservative; democrats; republicans; woke
I'm glad someone wrote this. I have been feeling so frustrated by the discourse among GOP and conservatives about the woke. These are EVIL people. They will say anything to get their way. Too many Republicans are trying to reason with them and give them the benefit of doubt. That's a failed approach right out of the gate. We must fight the woke like fighting the Nazis or the Bolsheviks.

The “conservative” Freepers who returned after the coup cannot stop loving leftists and leftist policies. I wonder why they were so quiet while Trump was POTUS and fighting and but so loud now?

GOPe pet flying monkeys of the neoconservative breed is what they are.

Too many elected Republicans are actually Assistant Democrats.

If they support open borders and/or amnesty and side with illegal aliens against the citizens and the rule of law, they are Bush League Republicans.

Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio KNOW they are giving the Democrats a permanent majority.

We do have a sizable contingent of GOP fluffers who believe in GOP Uber Alles no matter the betrayal.

They blamed Trump for January 6th, and didn’t vote to reject the electors, so it’s not surprising.

Case in point: the two worthless pieces of $hit Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.

Both of them chastised Trump for fighting the election fraud and here we are 8 months later with irrefutable proof the Rats stole the election and the GOP “leaders” STILL sit on their asses while the Rats destroy the USA.

How I despise the GOPe and their globalist masters. They need to all pay the ultimate price for what they have done to our once great country.

Sure, voters don’t want what DC Republicans want, but they may also not want what the author wants.

I'm always disappointed to see people like the author of this piece miss the most important point of all when discussing these matters. She did a good job of identifying the problem but failed miserably in getting to the heart of the REAL solution.

One key question for our nation’s future, as well as those who hope to lead it, is whether trusting your children to institutions that countenance critical race theory makes any sense at all.

I have a better question for our nation's future, as well as those who hope to lead it: Why would anyone trust their children to institutions that are run by the government at all?

Public schools and compulsory education laws have no place in a free nation. This idea that you can politicize knowledge is ludicrous on its face.

If you're not willing to stand up and say that, then you're a miserable failure as a political leader.

Got a list of those flying monkeys?

It would give me some pleasure to have a monkey barbecue.

I dumped to GROPERS last December; just couldn’t take their chicken-sh#t crap any more.

Was a republican since 1968, stopped being one in December 2020, now I am what they call an Independent.

I know how you feel, I pretty much rage-quithe GOP in January; I’m going independent, and spending time focusing on state and local races at this point, maybe run for something small and local in the next few years.
