20 reasons to join the fight against the Far Left

[DCPatriot]

No, but Conservatism can be popular.

Don't know an easy way to tell you this, but..... Trump Supporters are Mainstream Tea Party Conservatives.

You, OTOH are like the Hare Krishna dancers in the airport banging on their tambourines.

That's exactly what she meant.   An acid-reflux reaction to President Trump.


...not that there's anything wrong with that.     

Why are you pinging me to your bullshit?

[DiogenesLamp]

Pretty much the same so far.

Trump is as bad as Hillary?    That comment is not even on the same planet as reality.   

[DCPatriot]

Why are you pinging me to your bullshit?

Out of 'respect' and forum etiquette?

Umm no they aren't.

The claim that Trump is a committed conservative is not very believable. Until recently, he was for higher taxes on the wealthy, taking in Syrian refugees, and single-payer health care. He almost never talks about the Constitution, faith, or liberty unless forced to. In 2012, Trump condemned Mitt Romney for being too harsh on illegal immigration. In May of this year, he attacked “publicity seekers” who needlessly provoked Muslims. With the exception of a few single-issue voters on immigration, Trump fans love him for his enemies and for his populist bombast, not for any specific principles. In other words, he divides the GOP more up-down than he does left-right.

The true TEA Party Conservatives are the ones Trump and others here have said they didn't need.  The same ones Mitch McConnell can't stand.

They are the ones that Trump threw under the bus in one of his many twitter rants...the Conservative Caucus in Congress...and people here piled on like it was some kind of dog whistle.

[DiogenesLamp]

It perfectly explains the blatant 24/7 "HATE POTUS TRUMP" on all the alphabets and cable channels.  And as of late, the phony outrage over the fallen soldier's family and the taken out of context meaning to his words and intentions.

It's "Hands up, Don't Shoot" redux.

They're all Alinskyites.

I keep trying to have conversations about how we badly need to smash the Democrat propaganda system,   but too many people can't seem to grasp the threat that it poses.   


Media delenda est.

Kidding aside, I’d wager if one of the candidates favored by “some members” had made it all the way to the WH and had taken the same actions, executive orders and directives that Trump has, and been given all of the blame for “legislative failures” as Trump has they would not be disparaging their guy as they have been Trump. But, as always, their privilege to do so.

I was a member of the so-called Tea Party.   I personally know dozens of others.   Guess what?

Virtually unanimous in avid support for Donald Trump...the Nominee.   And sure as hell at 100% today.

My bonafides:

Picked Donald Trump out from Day 1. 

Told you all how he was going to win.

Have @RoosGirl look THAT up.

You, OTOH.... are probably a great guy to have a drink and shoot pool with.

Your political acumen needs attention.   

[RoosGirl]

Out of 'respect' and forum etiquette?       

I still have not a clue why or what I am being pinged to?  I haven't said posted anything no this thread today.  Am I supposed to have something to say about acid reflux?  I hear there's a pill for that.

[INVAR]

I don't figure most if not almost all Tea Party folks, I am one of them, as being naive enough to agree with your basic points.

Ask me if I care.  Most of the Tea Party people I run with are all of the same mindset.  I got a good chunk of them to vote third party last November, we're working on the rest.

Again, good luck. However I have no idea where you are going to get your base from to start a new party that would gather more than 1 or 2 percent of the national vote at best, and certainly no electoral votes.

Gotta start somewhere.  Rome was not built in a day either.

At minimum I will again have a clean conscience by voting FOR candidates in a party who share my core values rather than simply practicing insanity  and voting to block the 'greater evil' as we have been doing for decades while the country is dragged off the Leftist cliffs - with your own failed party doing a much of the heavy lifting to make that happen.

[roamer_1]

Don't know an easy way to tell you this, but..... Trump Supporters are Mainstream Tea Party Conservatives.

No, they are not... Only something like 30% self-identify as conservatives - Which would be the weaker sort.
As to the TEA party, considering my own involvement on the money side of things for years, and considering that connection spans both libertarian and social conservative circles in the Pacific NW, the Inland NW, and the Northern Rockies, and considering that, to a man, my entire contact list shut off the spigots Upon the day of Tump's ascension, and are now re-gearing that support elsewhere  Away from RTL, away from national and regional Republican organizations... I will tell you quite firmly that you are stone dead wrong.

My cousin is another avid TEA Partier, standing on the floor in Colorado, after a massive and hard fought victory, only to be called a traitor and liberal plant by your scurrilous associates and party. He and his will be working against you now too.

You, OTOH are like the Hare Krishna dancers in the airport banging on their tambourines.   

 (btw...they too are orange)

So be it. I really couldn't care less for your opinions. What you can certainly bank upon is that your cause will gain not a whit form me, nor anyone I know or can influence, because I know the difference between what you proffer and true Conservatism. And being of Reagan, and of the TEA party, I am in no way alone.

Do you think the GDP would have reached 3%?     After we were told for 8 years, we should get down on our knees in thanks for 1.5%?

And passing 23,000 on the stock market?

Do you think we'd have a 2nd Amendment today?   Do you have any inkling what a Hillary Clinton SCOTUS would be capable of doing to the Constitution?   Immigration?   The corruption?

And you have the gall to suggest Donald Trump is no different?

Talk about Rocky Mountain High.....

Yeah, like Roberts saved the day? Don't even start with me about SCOTUS. Until I hear Scalia coming out of that man's mouth, he's just another a$$hole in a black robe, no different from the rest.

And you have the gall to suggest Donald Trump is no different?

Talk about Rocky Mountain High.....   

*NOTHING* has changed. 10 months out and all he's managed to do is piss off everyone he needs to get anything done.
And you can leave off the fist-pumping about EOs and friggin NFL bullshit.

Woohooism. (See FR fundraising)

Oh, I think I get it. You're upset that I know how to look at someone's history of posts to figure out if they're consistent in their comments of just blowing hot air and being a PITA?

[INVAR]

I do not believe jack shit that comes out of the mouth of any government or alphabet agency.  If the NOAA says the sky is blue, I need to go outside and verify that for myself given the amount of political bullshit government peddles and tries to shove down our throats as 'truth'.

And passing 23,000 on the stock market?

Stock Market is nothing but a manipulated casino scheme totally detached from reality.  Both Obama and Clinton crowed about the 'rising markets' during their tenures and you and I both know their regimes did nothing but punish and hurt small business while empowering corporations who are willing to pay to play.

Do you think we'd have a 2nd Amendment today?   

When did you think that right was simply a privilege granted by men in robes or a monarch ruling from the White House that can be rescinded on a whim? 

Not many of us will surrender it just because the Beast at Mordor on the Potomac says it is null and void.  Sad that you will.

Do you have any inkling what a Hillary Clinton SCOTUS would be capable of doing to the Constitution?   Immigration?   The corruption?

Business as usual for them, for the GOP and the Oligarchy.

And you have the gall to suggest Donald Trump is no different?

I say he's only different in the fact that his nethers are likely not dried up and as dusty as Hildabeast's.

Outside of that, politically - I think they are not that different in how they see government.

[musiclady]

In the manner that if Conservatism is using a tree to bash our enemies,   I have become a crusader for trees. 


I am for enemy bashing,  and not particular about the sort of weapon we use to do it so long as it achieves the result of getting the enemy bashed.

Thanks for admitting that you don't want conservatism.  You want revenge.


It's funny to remember all the shrieking from the Trump troops when it was pointed out that they were voting for Trump in unprincipled anger and emotion, and that was no way to choose a nominee.

I appreciate your candor in saying your support for Trump is that he has a big mouth and is bashing others.

But thanks for contributing to the death of conservatism.  I'll remember you when I throw dirt on its grave.....

Facts don’t matter. This is politics. Just look at that So. Florida congresswoman in the news today, the one with the crazy hats, she hates Trump so much her words of hate come out as an autonomic response. She doesn’t even know she’s lying. To her, the voices inside her head are speaking truth out of her mouth. It’s called Trump derangement syndrome.

 Anyone you recognize?

[DiogenesLamp]

Revenge?   When one sees a horde of barbarians posed on the edge of civilization,  one does not need "revenge"  to realize they need to be bashed.   


Revenge is fine,  but prevention is better.   I want them bashed because they need to be bashed,  not because they have done me wrong.    I want them bashed mainly for what they *will* do,  not what they have done,  though to be fair,  they deserve being bashed for that as well.   

It's funny to remember all the shrieking from the Trump troops when it was pointed out that they were voting for Trump in unprincipled anger and emotion, and that was no way to choose a nominee.

Seems to have worked out pretty well.

Well it's been walking around like a zombie for about 3 decades now,  so I guess it is about time to dig it a grave and let you throw dirt on it. 


Oh,  and I had nothing to do with killing it.   It moved with the speed and energy of a sloth,  and so it's enemies beat it to death.   


Those are the enemies I want bashed,  so perhaps you can enjoy a little revenge when we've set about doing it.   :)

Thanks for this post.  It's what disturbs me about some (not all, but some) of the Pro-Trump folks...they are out for revenge, and I don't like that as a motivator.  Someone who would gleefully take revenge on a leftist will equally take revenge on people who are on the same side.  It's caustic.

[DiogenesLamp]

I keep telling people that,  but they don't seem to understand the nature of this game.

Recognize anyone you know?

I see a lot of that in a lot of people who don't seem to realize that it's irrational.
