Free Republic

We have all seen how the song and dance goes, we all know the formula.

For just under 5 years we all come here to FR complain about how bad the GOP senator is, supporting gun control, helping the Democrats, etc etc. Why can’t they get anything done etc etc.

But then in that 6th year, out of nowhere we’re supposed to forget all of that and then cut off our noses to spite our faces and vote once again for the very same people we just invested 5 years into complaining about.

Unfortunately the formula works.

We have a real shot to get rid of a terrible candidate, proven to be bad over decades. But instead of getting rid of this terrible candidate he will win once again.

Its sad.

This is the kind of hopelessness that leads conservative voters to just sit at home instead of voting. Its just not worth it. The only thing to go vote for is junk. That’s not motivating.

In any case,

Aren’t you guys looking forward to your next future 5 years of life here at FR complaining about how the GOP never does anything? Isn’t it great? Isn’t it wonderful! You do actually know the future right now.

I really miss the good old days of Rush talking about his book “Great Moderates of History”

Yes, I know, “Democracy The God that Failed.”

Good thing the U.S. is a Republic and not a Democracy.

I'm OK with truancy if my kid is going to go to the local March for Life and get their behind out of the communist indoctrination center.

In fact, I want my kid to be the March for Life leader. I do not JUST want my kid to go.

I want my kid to organize the whole thing. I want my kid to be the ring leader, leading hundreds of kids out of their seats to do the right thing. We are all Andrew Breitbart now, and we are all Charlie Kirk now.

You just want your kid to be a communist. I have no idea why you love karl marx so much.

"Imply" that one.

You misunderstand.

When a liberal republican has to go, they have to go.

Sitting at home is the closest thing to achieving the bliss of term limits.

It always gets me in trouble when I say I love Susan Collins in a Maine Senate seat and should be re-elected for life. Now seems a good time to say it. Why do I think people will ignore the comment.

This point of view is valid in Minnesota, Illinois, and California.

This point of view is invalid in Texas, Ohio, and Idaho.

It’s guys like you that prevent good conservatives from going into conservative-viable seats while you do a kabuki dance on the premise that all senate seats are the same.

In other words, John Cornyn should move to New Hampshire and run for senate. I’d crawl over glass to vote for him there.

But in Texas?

This is the soft bigotry of low expectations. Cornyn has no business in a Texas senate seat. In Texas Cornyn must be defeated at all costs.

I want Paxton to win.

I’m convinced Cornyn is going to win. These Establishment republicans such as Cornyn are like barnacles.

I do understand the word “implies”, it means in this context that you had no interest for my actual words and you wanted to argue against yourself.

Since you wanted to argue against yourself, how does that apply to me?

That is not my fault that you do not like the things you say.

Graham is going to get re-elected anyways.

"implies"

You have no need for what I plainly stated? It's more fun to imagine things isn't it.

I listed five items very specifically at post 9, the very post 9 you cited. You didn't have to ignore those items. You chose to ignore those items. I can't help you overlooking these, they were:

* pro-life initiatives
* abolition of these administrative state agencies
* tax cuts
* faith-based initiatives
* getting rid of Common Core propaganda out of the schools

For the life of me I can't find anything wrong with these for our children(I mean young adults of course) to be involved with.

Perhaps you find any of these 5 offensive, please elaborate.

If you want kids involved with civics, except when you don't want kids involved with civics, well, you're going to have to resolve that contradiction.

I did not fully complete this thought:

"and go join the March For Life - because their parents took the time be active in their kids lives and teach"

The schools refuse to teach civics. Its up to the parents to do it.

"Have you lost your marbles?"

Schools are brainwashing our children to become communists. This is something we all know and we all say it constantly. This is NOT new information.

That said, if young adults are going to leave the indoctrination class and go join the March For Life, not only have I kept all of my marbles I also have your marbles but you didn't even notice I gained your marbles.

"teaching and supporting subversion of law enforcement is very bad"

That's not what I said.(Otherwise, I agree) I said teaching constitutional principles and yes, that includes protesting.

There isn't a way to dance around this one.

Most of these children are republican children - democrats abort their offspring. So why are republican parents allowing their children to be used for communist manipulation and they are basically absent parents? Sitting around with their thumbs in their mouths?

What the heck happened to parents in this country?!?!?!?!? What is WRONG with these people?

I’m not sure.

It is one thing if its specific and exclusive to these ICE riots - that’s clearly not good, but I think we need our children more involved in civics.

Schools used to teach civics. Not anymore!!!

Can we bring civics teaching back to schools? That would actually be really good.

Honestly, the more I think about it the more I find it distasteful.

We want our children to develop a love for civic duty. Why punish it?

Republican parents should be teaching their children to rally and support pro-life initiatives, rally and support tax cuts, rally and support the abolition of these administrative state agencies that are lording over us, rally and support faith-based initiatives, rally and support getting rid of Common Core propaganda out of the schools.

I’m sorry, I don’t think teaching our children to be subservient to the state and to be subservient to the school and professors is healthy.

When did hating civic duty become a good thing? When did hating the U.S. Constitution become something Conservatives engage in?

If this helps gets Ken Paxton the win I’m ecstatic.

If Cornyn just ends up getting re-elected all its going to do is give me more stress and heart burn.

I want to see more conservatives get elected. I quite frankly do not care any more if the republicans can go eat cuss word and die. The GOP Establishment works against us, why vote for people who are our enemies?

And it matters most that they view us as their enemies. I did not choose this at random cause it felt good. I would not have chosen this otherwise.

“As soon as they [the conservatives] get here, we need to co-opt them” - Trent Lott

It gets at the heart of the matter though, communists never had a chance to work from the inside and destroy our country.

Progressives did that. Progressives are America’s Cancer, not communists.

Due to their location, progressives have always been more dangerous to the U.S. compared to communists.(with some rare exceptions)

I had been hoping you had some more items or something different, BTW. When people are convicted of something I find that’s the best place to discover something new.

Apparently your CTRL + F word search functionality in your browser is malfunctioning.

“This was from the essay, and BTW, Communism and Socialism are ONE and the SAME in essence”

Maybe they are,(it is not the current topic at this moment) however that’s not what Woodrow Wilson just wrote - but even more importantly that’s not in line with your claim from earlier.

Wilson does not say “Communism and Socialism” are the same, he says “socialism and democracy” are one in the same. Anybody with a functioning CTRL + F can figure this out. But most importantly, this passage is not Wilson paying his due in recognition of “how much he owed Communism for his views”.

Hopefully you have some other paragraph or writing altogether to back up your untrue assertion.

It will still be impossible to organize any conservative protest in front of any school doing this, any state Department of Education or the Federal Department of Education.

Which was promised to be abolished. Congress is still not being asked to pass an abolish bill.

"Even Woodrow Wilson, aka the Progressive President, made clear how much he owed Communism for his views."

Woodrow Wilson does not say anything about how wonderful communism is in the essay "Socialism and Democracy" or that he "owes anything" to it.

https://constitutingamerica.org/socialism-and-democracy-by-woodrow-wilson-reprinted-from-the-u-s-constitution-a-reader-published-by-hillsdale-college/

But luckily this is a tiny essay so feel free to point out the specific paragraph and line to discuss.

We know how progressives are.

The progressives promise, PROMISE, the camel will never be let into the tent. - it will only ever be age verification and nothing more. Swear! Pinky swear.

"Actually, Communism if anything began with the French Revolution, ESPECIALLY with a guy named Gracchus."

Communists get to determine when they begin, just like a painter gets to determine that his painting is of a lake. I can call it an elephant if I want, but that doesn't make it an elephant.

Gracchus, or Babeuf, founded his group the Neo-Jacobins. Babeuf got to determine his fate as a Neo-Jacobin, not a communist.

"Even Marx specifically attributed Communism to Gracchus"

Marx cited Babeuf as an inspiration. The two are not the same.

"Even Woodrow Wilson, aka the Progressive President, made clear how much he owed Communism for his views."

Surely you can tell everybody at FR the page number and the book title or speech title where Wilson did this.

Besides. Wilson was the second Progressive President. Not the first. The first Progressive President even went so far as to establish his very own Progressive Party.

The party platform of the first U.S. Progressive Party founded by the first U.S. Progressive President is incredibly enlightening as to the statism of Progressives.
