I don't buy this conclusion at all. In fact, I'd say the GOP is more liberal than at any time since Reagan was elected. That said, I do agree we should not give up the fight and the primaries is where the battle will be fought. However, if Jeb Bush is the nominee I have no intention of voting for him.
Calling me stupid is not the way to convince me.
“I’m a military guy, so I deal with the facts as they are, whether I like them or not. And here are the facts:
1. We conservatives have made huge, undeniable strides since 2010. There are more conservatives at every level of government except the presidency than there have been in a century. That’s tangible progress we can’t just fritter away.”
One: The military, as the premier PC group of my life time and for most of my lifetime isn’t the most impressive citation for “seeing the facts as they are”
Two: “Fritter” is EXACTLY what the GOP has been doing since they racked up all of those impressive wins everyone is always talking about. They got what they wanted; they got into office. They haven’t “punched” anyone back.
Amen brother. Amen
You are telling like it is. Unfortunately many conservatives are of the mind set to ignore your wisdom and continue on a course of division that will elect Hillary
Good article.
We haven't won every battle yet, but surely we've won enough to keep us on the field!
Every time Boehner or McConnell or Roberts caves it's a little like deja vu. I can't help but wonder what the other side has on them.
Sorry but my opinion is that the best way to let the left have their way is to give blind allegiance to the Republican establishment.
And the fight will NEVER begin.
The GOP is dead, Jim.
The fact is we have a majority in both houses of congress, but our senate majority has enough quislings to make that point moot.
We HAVE to have a conservative POTUS in 2016 to undo the damage of the past 6 years. If we lose then it will be all over, because we would lose the senate at the same time.
Whine whine whine. Take the country back? Back to where?
To hell with the Republicant Party.
Conservatives should be filling their empty precinct chair positions. They should be working from their local and county GOP organizations to oust the liberals from the Republican Party; then at the state level; then at the national level.
Conservatives should be campaigning for conservatives for every elected position -- local, county, state, or national; or running for the positions themselves.
People who leave the party have no right to complain -- they are the cause of the problem.
People who ignore the political process until the general elections have no right to complain about their choices -- they are the cause of the problem.

wow, great article here
Amen, the nail hit square. Too much defeatism on FR.
The battle plan: first the Dems, get rid of them, next the RINO’s, get rid of them. This last election has done number one...mostly, next on the list, McConnel and Boehner.
Kurt is a dreamer. The only “fight” ahead is CWII.
There isn't going to be a third party because guys like Schlichter don't want to build one. In that regard, he's not alone. There are a lot of people on this website who think people who put men on the moon and built an atomic bomb out of a theory cannot create a third major political party. It's ridiculous.
Kurt Schlichter hit the nail square on the head
Kurt Schlichter hit the nail right on the thumb.
Yeah, right!

More of the same bullshit election cycle after election cycle and we have sunk even deeper into the abyss. Spare me the condescending lecture. Let me know when the things get literal.
