The Death of the GOP

This is what's wrong with Republicans. Rick Moran is contributing to the death of the GOP. He is asking that they abandon, without a fight, Conservative principles, in order to be nice and "affable" and non-confrontational.

Yes, let's visit and giggle with the cannibals as they lick their chops and heat the cauldron. Great idea. People like Moran have learned NOTHING from the last 16 years. Miss Manners Rules of Etiquette is not a weapon. But he advises that we bring it to a gunfight.

This is called ...

• walking into the ambush
• playing into the hands of your enemy
• being suckered by the con
• being dazzled by the bullshit
• going to the gunfight unarmed
• trusting the devil

He says:

"Disagreeing without branding your political foe a monster or a traitor will make it easier to change course once it becomes clear that the stimulus is the wrong road to take."

Another nice, nice, Republican, who is dead wrong. Failing to call monsters and traitors monsters and traitors makes it impossible to change course "down the road" because you have already implicitly approved of them and tarred yourself with their filth.

Having sex with a slut does not make it easier to call her a tramp later.

And is he serious? Is there any doubt that the "stimulus" and the "bailouts" are the exactly wrong thing to do? He needs to learn the Second Conservative Rule: If it advances the size and power of government, it's bad.

I love American Thinker, but if they are committed to this policy, they will soon be irrelevant, a side-liner, a spectator, in the upcoming face-off.

If one believes one's opponent is honorable, it is reasonable to approach them with respect and honesty. But to imagine that "honor" has any relation to our opponents, who have proven themselves to be sleazy, cheating, lying, ambitious, self-aggrandizing, grasping, tyrannist, bullying, extortionist, Fascists/Communists, again and again, is suicidal naiveté.

If we refuse to acknowledge that their goal is to ruin America, to create a socialist "paradise" in which they wield all the power and cast the rest of us into slavery to the State, we are doomed. They are liars. They are traitors...because they seek to undermine and ultimately discard the Constitution. All one has to do is watch what they do to see that this is true.

They have already made it clear that they want to:

• Silence free speech of those who disagree with them
• Outlaw guns
• Persecute Christians/Christianity
• Use the power of the STATE to intimidate & prosecute political opponents
• Destroy the Free Market
• Seize private property
• Increase confiscatory taxes
• Create a communistic "planned" economy
• Redistribute wealth from the productive to the parasites
• Control prices
• Control wages
• Dictate business decisions
• Force the unionization of all private businesses
• Disenfranchise American voters through massive election fraud
• Replace Rule of Law by Cult of Personality

Clarity of thought, reason and logic dictates that we recognize that these people are criminals and traitors to the ideals of America. To suggest that I should "give them a chance" to advance their treasonous agenda before I oppose them is to suggest that I become an accomplice in treason—"for a while". How does that give me credibility? How does that help my case? How, exactly do I live with that?

No thank you. I will not sacrifice my soul, my honor or the fate of the world, in order to be considered "nice", or to be seen as "reasonable" by unreasonable villains, suicidal, self-hating collaborators or frightened, clueless sheep.

I am an extremist.

"Extremism in defense of Liberty is no vice, and moderation is pursuit of justice is no virtue".*

I have no doubt that in Germany, as Adolf Hitler was coming into power, there were some who distrusted him and saw the danger of his Personality Cult and of his policies and promises - and while it was still possible without being murdered, spoke against him. And no doubt, they too were called unreasonable, rigid, extremist, unpragmatic idealogues who exacerbated division instead of encouraging union and "working together". (Which, by the way, always means capitulation to the demands of those who call for it.)

I think I'll take my chances, and while it's still possible in pre-fascist America, try to get people to understand what's really going on here...and to stand implacably against the onrushing tide.
