It’s Time For A Conservative Purge
Townhall, Aug 27, 2018, Kurt Schlichter

[...]

Insufferable sissy Sasse is everything that is wrong with the Republican Party establishment. He’s boring, sanctimonious, and utterly lacking any accomplishment except for distinguishing himself by running his fool mouth about Trump to any enemy outlet that will listen. Sasse poses as one of us, and even wrote an unreadable book mouthing a conservative critique of our crummy culture. The first line is, and I’m not kidding, “Sheryl Crow rocketed to stardom in 1996 on the strength of a single paradox.” If I ever write something that awful, please hunt me for sport. In any case, his tiresome tome illustrates the problem: He writes a book about the culture war then gets his panties all in a bunch when we elect someone who is finally willing to fight it.

[...]

The problem is not people with criticisms of Donald Trump – he’s not an ideological conservative, so we need to keep him focused. It’s the people who hate the Normals who now use the GOP as their vehicle for representation. They should depart. We’re seeing a great sorting – to put it in terms millennials can dig, think of a Harry Potter Sorting Hat that says, “Hmmmm. You won’t fight hard to defund people who are killing babies, think it’s cool to diss the flag at football games, are happy about non-submissive conservatives being silenced by liberal tech companies, write stuff no one reads, and have strong opinions about Star Trek. Yes, you are Never Trump. I know you want to be GOP, but you are a Democrat.”

The magic hat is right – they are no longer Republicans, and when they pretend to be, they misrepresent who we really are. Jennifer Rubin is not a “conservative commentator” no matter how often the liberals call her that. She’s a lib. Bret Stephens is a lib. Ahoy people – Bill Kristol is a lib. They all tried to fake conservatism to get where they are, then freaked out when they figured out that us Normals are actually serious about all this stuff and that we are not going to wait forever for the likes of them to make it happen. When we toss them out, they should be sent off wearing scarlet letters, IWYGT – “I’m Why You Got Trump.”

These people are no loss to our party – their subtraction is actually addition. Two words to the pseudocons who aren’t happy with where the GOP is today, because the party (for better or worse) is the organized political engine of conservatism. Get out. And be happy we’re not going to hunt you for sport.

@Right_in_Virginia ,  why do you post garbage like this?

@Jazzhead

Suggest you back off, buddy.   This is TOWNHALL.   It's not THE HILL, where all the anti-trump shit posted here originates.

...or are you leading a movement to have Kurt Schlichter banned?

I like the article, didn’t like your response.  Your response was the posted garbage.

Don't like defending yourself @Jazzhead  ... don't click on the thread.

So move along.

Sasse has a resume filled with nothing but running his mouth and no real accomplishments. It's why he has a popularity problem in his state. He is a fraud and a third rate clown.

...or are you leading a movement to have Kurt Schlichter banned?

No, just hunted for sport.

[Mod2]

A gentle reminder that TBR never was intended to be an echo chamber. How can we reasonably discuss politics without examining other opinions? Carry on. Just do it civilly.

[Frank Cannon]

What are you going to use since you want guns banned? A pointy stick?

[roamer_1]

IDIOCY.

Ben Sasse is a Libertarian-Leaning Conservative.

When did I ever say I wanted guns banned?    Don't be an idiot like Mr. Schlichter.

I like to tell people I'm a multiple Academy Award winning Director even though I have no statuette or even a movie with my name on. Kinda the same thing applies to this ne'er do well half wit Sasse. He says he is stuff but has nothing tangible to back it up.

Move along, huh?   @Right_in_Virginia

So this thread is just for the alt-right "Normals" for whom Kurt Schlichter claims to speak?   

Do you agree with Mr. Schlichter that those of us who aren't alt-right "Normals" should exit the GOP?

Riiiight... Other than the VOTES. How the hell do you think the ratings are tallied?

Votes are meaningless. Outcomes for bills are preordained. Show me where he started a business and gave people jobs to feed their family instead of being a professional student his whole life. Show me where he is actively working on legislation that will make the country a better place. Show me where is using his influence in his state to make it a better place instead of driving Uber for a stunt. Show me where he is doing anything other than running his worthless mouth about anything.

Feel free to get all tingly about some elected drone giving you lip service. I work off of tangible results. 

[GrouchoTex]

This isn't news.

Anyone who followed Jennifer Rubin, and Bill Kristol, especially lately, know they are not conservative, no matter how often they try to claim to be.
If they can't see the conservative policies that have been put forth, they are just choosing not to do so.
They would be NT.

There are good conservative writers who aren't 100% Trump, but not 100% against either.
Tariffs can bring out various opinions, for example, but it wouldn't necessarily make them NT, just to differ on an issue or 2.
I have to laugh when I see some who like something President Trump has done, get bashed as AT, and the next day write something where they do not like what President Trump has done, and get bashed as NT.

I think we pull this trigger too often.
People are unique, and don't always fit into neat little boxes.

WTF are you going on about Frank?
He is one of about 20 to rate higher than 89% at Conservative Review. and you are talking about lip service? What they are there to DO is vote, and vote correctly... And he is doing exactly that. That IS tangible results. That IS working actively on legislation.

Although, turning Midland University around shows some chops too, for your private sector mentality.

Thanks for dragging out some more meaningless rating that never made anyone freer or put food on anyone's table. Shows once again that Sasse is an empty suit.

BTW a private sector mentality is the only mentality to have unless you are some pansy Socialist poet who finds government great.

That's a good point. If a bill is certain to win or to lose then any vote is safe so the vote becomes for political advantage.

Lmao

They should check in for advisement from the fun folks at TOS.

They can instruct them on all the finer points of how to successfully purge Conservatives from their ranks and turn them into enemies.

As some even here are adept at attempting to do.

@Jazzhead   You said this thread is garbage ... I don't know why you're fighting to stay on it.  Logic would dictate you'd move on lest the stench clings to you.

Haven't you testified that you've already self-purged??

@INVAR

Don't give too much credit to this stuff, lol.--it's comical.  The "author" himself is a joke; everything he writes reads like--let's see, what was the quote I saw---"a tenth-grader on Adderall."  It's freaking entertainment.

The alt-right lumpheads wanting a purge are never going to get it and they're not going to pull themselves out of their recliners to start one.  It's Trumpian fanfic.
