CONSERVATIVE REVIEW

This is the Republican Party, folks. It's not the party of Reagan. It's a cabal. For a long time they let you put whatever you wanted in the party platform to keep you happy and content, all the while they called all the shots everywhere else. Now, they're not even willing to do that.

With very few exceptions the mantra of the Republican Party is you'll get nothing and you'll like it. Since you'll get even less from the Democrats. Which, of course, means either way you'll get nothing. But the nothing with the R after its name is so much better.

Because, unity.

From the article: "They primary him (Steve King)because he supported Ted Cruz, the conservative insurgent for president the system knew would throw them all out on their ear if he got elected."

GOPe does not like conservatives. We need another party.
Principles matter. Words matter.

Sorry for the small quote, but I am following the rules of posting only excerpts.

You could probably post a little more.

Evidently.  They hate us.  I take their stance against Cruz very personally.

The Republican arm of the Uniparty wants their perks and fiefdoms to continue. We have a Congress that exempts themselves from the laws we must follow and votes themselves benefits we can never have. They have set themselves above and apart from their employer- the American taxpayer

The entire federal beast is a cabal.  You and I are their enemies.

It's not called the Uniparty for nothing.

It may also be helpful to learn what the term velvet coup means and then examine what has taken place over the last decade or so.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Either way, we'll have to go to the source to read the rest.
