  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
This is organized crime.

Lock them up.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Why not? The  Democrats already howl about 'big oil'.

While we're at it...might as well toss the EPA in there too.

Because he is an honest man? In fact, his early endorsement of Trump carried a lot of weight for me. It took me a while to abandon my "Never" position, but I did it.

Tim Scott , Sessions, Even Palin and Trump.  Cruz they all MUST be destroyed
because they are effective.

Nice to see a positive thread.  I went on way too many threads started by Weird today and it seemed like TBR had almost become a reverse image of Free Republic, as in anyone agree with Trump about anything was brutally trashed.

Perhaps he should go study anti - matter at CERN.  There are a number of breakthroughs happening there.

It is why I started posting recently.  We are so close to unwinding THIRTY YEARs

Lets stay positive and go after #EPA # Ricco

You are seriously delusional if you think one person in the span of four or eight years if he's lucky is going to roll back all the damage that's been done.

How does calling me delusional help this discussion.? Actually, since Pence does not have the grit Cruz does...

I am hoping Cruz can win in 2024 for eight years.   Maybe then Pence will have more grit.

Because I'm being honest.  No one with any lick of common sense thinks about Trump the way you do.

Put the pom poms down...he won already...the constant cheerleader routine is boring.

Better hope then that your hero Donny doesn't go through with his promise to support someone to challenge Ted in the primaries.

You are insufferable .  Even when you agree it must be done in a disagreeable way.

Shame

It won't happen overnight, but the things that matter, the foundational elements so critical to maintaining an ongoing campaign of restoring the Republic, can set things on the right track. It has taken nearly 60 years to go from having some invasive socalist elements to full metastisization, and the cleanup won't happen overnight.
It will take the purging of the bureaucracy of socialist elements and personnel who advocate unconstitutional and extraconstitutional actions on the part of those departments which have subverted the Republic, it will take massive reductions in Federal internal power and scope and the restoration of the States as sovereign political entities, and education of the American voter as to just what the FedGov is and isn't supposed to do (Civics).
While all those subversive elements out there have a Right to speak their piece, they do not have a right to riot in the streets, trespass on or destroy private property, nor shout down those who disagree.

 Doing it right will take a little more time, but will leave a Republic that is faithful to its own architecture and axioms, where going outside the authority therein would, in and of itself, subvert the very ideals and principles the Republic was designed to safeguard. The means make a difference, too.

It didn't get messed up overnight, despite people becoming aware of it more suddenly, and it will take longer to reverse the damage. Unfortunately, unlike Conservatives, those adversarial to the Republic have no normalcy bias ('cause they ain't normal), and will fight for every edict, and every word and paragraph they have managed to undermine.

WOW! Putting words in peoples mouth does not do a lot for ones credibility. We should be focusing on direction and trends that are positive and there are a bunch of them.

By no means am I saying that Trump is immune from reproach or criticism; but majoring on his negatives assists exactly who?

And that's why it's silly to think that this can all be cleaned up by one man in 4 years.

It may take until our grand kids are our age to fully undo the mess...assuming they get the chance.  It's always a good thing when someone is able to undo some of the damage...but I am a realist about the effort it will take to completely roll back the Liberal stain on our country.

I didn't focus on Trump's negatives in what I said.  I was commenting on the innane mindless rah-rah'ing and the misguided belief that one man is capable of rolling back 6 decades of Progressive destruction in four or eight years.

How does the constant vapid cheerleader dancing and yelling "WINNING" help things?

The longest journey begins with a single step!   Seems as though I've heard that somewhere before!

Amen.  I dont care if it takes 100  years as long as we are moving in the right direction.

But I doubt it will take 100 years.

It won't! It's a bit like rolling a snowball downhill! the hard part is getting it going in the first place.
